The Darth Maul figure looks cool displayed on or in front of that nicely detailed diarama display base. You could actually pose almost any Star Wars figures on that and they would all look good on it including Darth Vader or 2 Stormtroopers or even Luke Skywalker or C-3 PO and R2-D2. The other figures are also awesome and nicely detailed figures like the Mandalorian which that character just looks very similar to Boba Fett in my opinion despite some slight differences between the 2 characters.

That really is a great release. Hapyy for you you to finally got the Episode 1 Maul in your collection. I have the old Maul and it looks good but articulation is somehow limited and he really has hard times standing. But the changeable head with the cloak is pretty badass. I like the new mold and the soft goods on this figure. I will porbably not pick him up for this price tho, if he will be obtainable in germany at al. The details on the speeder are decals as far as I can see this. So no stickers.

@@ysoserious8526 thanks man. I wouldn’t mind still trying to get that old Maul just for the sake of having the history of the line. It is amongst the first releases in the orange line when the line first started. And honestly imo I know it’s not a great figure but is it kinda cool how the heads interchange and the one is attached to the cloak. And I feel ya I’m not standing. He’s got those weird rocker feet. They’re like kinda curved for some reason. But I do like the sith apprentice version of Mail and it reuses those original old Maul legs. As well as both the night brothers from fallen order. They’re definitely not great and super dated but it works I reckon. It does suck the single release won’t have the softgoods cloak, but I plan on getting the three pack too. I want that updated photo real Qui Gon and Obi Wan. I know you already have padawan kenobi so you probably may not need that three pack. But I just can’t resist lol.

Appreciate this video. The only problem i see with "knockoffs", is that these companies arent producing, distributing, and/or are enabling scalpers by not supplying the demand of the consumers. I do think it is bogus when resellers or even acrual retailers are selling "knockoffs" as legit offial product. That being said, even aliexpress is selling legit product in some cases, if it is a newer product, it is being made in the same factory as what is being shipped to these companies, they are just manucaturimg more than the companies order and "backdooring" the overruns to chinese sellers. The people bitching about others buying products like this likely have crap they are trying to resell on ebay and feel their "livlihood" is threatened because people are less likely to pay them $60 for something they can get elsewhere for $20. But ill say this, if you have made it your "career" to stalk store shaelves everyday to buy up all of certain figures just so you can artificially decrease the availiability and then resell that product for 3 or 4 times the retail price to people who actually want it, then you are part of the problem.

But if they’re upfront about it not being original I don’t see a problem. And in a slight sense it is, but it’s also just people taking advantage of the market. That’s just capitalism quite frankly. If these companies don’t decide to reissue or refresh older toys, THEY’RE the ones shooting them selves in the foot by not paying attention to aftermarket prices. The sculptors and artists have already been paid by the main company from whatever line. It’s not like they get paid a percentage of every figure they were apart of with sculpting or engineering ect. They already completed their task and got paid for their contribution to the figure. The only ones missing out on the money is the corporations themselves in a way.
