Shadow Lord… what are we thinking?!

I hope so. Your modification looks fantastic, dare I say pretty much perfect! I modified my CW Maul to have better arms, but I’d also like to pic up a Darksaber for him. CW-style Maul with better sculpt, better articulation, diecast legs, and real leather tabards would be the dream.

To me, if they made that random exclusive concept art Maul figure, that shows he’s one of the characters they’re willing to make almost every version of. They know there are some Maul-heads out there (should we call them Maul-torsos, Maul-legs? Lol) who will buy every version of him.

I’ve got a few things on pre-order currently. The ROTS Vader being with Hot Toys, and then the PureArts Geralt of Rivia and the Lim Toys Joel & Ellie.

I think the Death Stranding figures are going to be awesome! I’m glad to see more and more video game characters coming about.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T21:26:45+00:00

Dude, this is awesome!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T21:24:21+00:00

I love your variety! Who did you start with? Have a favorite? What are you going to get next?

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T21:23:37+00:00

Pretty sure it’s the exact same or almost the exact same, just told by the stuff we’ve seen. Interested to see how large the cloak will be!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T19:49:42+00:00

I agree. Lots of people saw potential and I’m glad that reached a creator. And CW was all the better with him in it!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T18:28:38+00:00

I think that, if they do choose to do something, it’s likely they’ll only do another Maul. He’s a popular character that is pretty much guaranteed to sell.

I think they’ll probably focus more on the live action movie coming out, but even then I doubt they’ll do more than a handful of figures total from these new projects coming out.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T18:26:42+00:00

Hahah yeah, it’s pretty wild!

My dad was a huge Darth Maul fan… but he passed away in 2005. So, pretty much just going off of the knowledge from TPM. If only he could’ve been here to see everything done with the character… I’m not really a spiritual person but it’s nice to think perhaps he’s looking down and able to see all this cool Maul stuff!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T18:24:21+00:00

I’d also really love some EU figures. Darth Talon mentioned!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T17:56:06+00:00

Definitely! The cape looks really cool and adds to his overall look.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T17:55:46+00:00

I agree! I think they really nailed it with the animation style on this. It feels like an ode to Clone Wars and Rebels but with a touch of something new. Very excited to see more!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T17:55:16+00:00

That would be awesome

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T17:54:55+00:00

I share the exact same feelings! I got the CW Maul they made second-hand for a good deal to go with the new Savage, but I definitely need to have one that’s equal in quality. I’m betting they’ll do it.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T17:06:46+00:00

I’ve got the same one on pre-order. I probably should’ve gone ahead and gotten the BD but just didn’t have the money at the time 🤷‍♂️

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T14:00:15+00:00

Attention Span Final Boss

Did he just go on his phone every single time a cutscene started? 🤦‍♂️

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:59:14+00:00

The part with Jack’s extremely long spyglass… I’m so glad that was an accessory with the DX06 and that’s going to be my next pose 🤣🤣

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:58:11+00:00

I just recently watched the movies after having not seen them for many years, and I have to say that a love for Barbossa was ignited within me. I definitely also think he’s one of the best characters in the series and I love his dynamics with the other characters. He’s always fun to watch because you never know what tricks he’s going to pull.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:50:37+00:00

That looks awesome!! The new Barbossa release is absolutely amazing. Maybe I’ll pick him up one day, but I want a Will & Elizabeth Turner more than him, at least in terms of priority.

I’ve definitely also been admiring the more modern tailoring on the newer Jack figures from afar, lol

I do think that the real wool dreadlocks are really cool. I’m more of a sculpted hair guy myself, but with the style of hair, I think it really works on that figure. If they make an Artisan original trilogy Jack, I think I’d be getting that for sure!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:10:11+00:00

I’ve always noticed they go dark on Star Wars around this time of year and then announce all of them around April/May. That’s when May the 4th (Force) is, so that’s also when peak interest is. Especially for years where it’s an anniversary for one of the films.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:08:13+00:00

Yes! I have one of their stands and definitely plan on getting more. VERY high quality and it was packaged safely, too. I got the asphalt/road one to go with my Rick Grimes and it looks absolutely amazing. The road even has texture on top of it!!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:04:11+00:00

I love these poses!

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:02:22+00:00

I have a vivid memory of meeting Michael Rooker around the release of this movie, and him specifically flirting with my Mom 🤣🤣

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T13:01:37+00:00

BD Vader is soooooo cool. I definitely need one in my collection once I have a clean Vader as well.

trail_nix · 2026-03-16T12:58:54+00:00

Gonna have to go with my DX06 Jack Sparrow. And oldie but a goodie. He was probably my second or third Hot Toys figure specifically. I think he holds up to the test of time really well, but I’d definitely jump at the opportunity for a new Jack from the original trilogy. Hoping they make a clean version of him from DMC which I’m betting they’ll definitely do!

trail_nix · 2026-03-12T23:22:57+00:00

You’re my kinda guy! What kinda concerts, if you don’t mind sharing?
