HOT TOYS Solo Darth Maul DX18 Unboxing Review

[@WhoTube981]

Awesome intro! Jenkin, your reviews are great 👍. I think your music choices are the best part.

[@jenkinw826]

Want to try something new... lol

[@SportkarateillustratedTV]

This figure looks amazing! I'm so glad I preordered it. It turned out better than the prototype images.

[@jenkinw826]

Adds a new favor to a classic Staw Wars character

[@thecomicreadern4344]

Congrats on being the first youtuber to officially review this figure,this has great improvement over the prototype version,hope clone wars version would also improve like this in final product.And the intro is sick,do more of these.Hopefully clone wars maul and ahsoka are both DX.However the new one looks more like paint splashed head than the smooth look of dx17

[@jenkinw826]

Yes the change on make up is nice

[@thecomicreadern4344]

@@jenkinw826 Really hope they do away with the single elbow joint in CW maul

[@jenkinw826]

Won't look good with the exposed double elbow joint. Maybe rubber arms?

[@thecomicreadern4344]

@@jenkinw826 But having a single elbow joint really limits the poseability,I want to pose him dynamically with ahsoka.Yep rubber arms may be the way to go even if it may crack over time

Again "Form versus Function"

In all my years, I have never seen someone creatively use Hot Toys to tell a detailed story! Cheers for the early review and thoughts

[@jenkinw826]

Always enjoyed KZbin Comicstorian narration of Comics, thus lead to my terrible imitation on this character intro. Afterall just trying to have some fun....

[@fruitseller92]

@@jenkinw826 I think you did a fantastic job! It is always endearing to see other collectors have fun and it makes me appreciate the hobby even more!

[@jenkinw826]

And that's why we all collect, to have fun with it... lol

That’s a stunning piece! Thank you as always for a great video!

[@jenkinw826]

Yeap it's been fun...

[@josuaj.r.k.5342]

This is an amazing figure and great review! Do you think Hot Toys is going to make General Grievous or C3PO figures?

[@jenkinw826]

C3PO should be a no brainer thus suspect still some lingering licensing issue. Not too sure about General Grevious as there is a lot of tooling involved plus people would expect diecast. Therefor not sure if sales volume would justify the development costs.

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Nice breakdown. Good humour an fast upload from release. Look forward to more content. ✌🔥

[@jenkinw826]

Haha just having some fun. Hope you guys enjoy it.

[@scottbradley6668]

Great intro Jenkin, love the figure! Can you attach the lightsaber to the belt or no?

[@jenkinw826]

Not sire if that was meant to be as also didnot recall any instructions or accessory for that knob.

[@polliana0]

Best intro ever damnn good and nice poses i like this darth maul head and mouth i wish it have come with the original version but we will see hope hot toys made another head for the clone wars version

[@jenkinw826]

Just come across this idea and have a little fun. Let's see how much was recycled for the Clone Wars released.

[@georgealonzo646]

Thanks for posting this review! Such an awesome looking figure.

[@jenkinw826]

Definitely a new take on a classic Star Wars character

[@boshrek4759]

“BARELY!!” classic!! Great review

[@jenkinw826]

Could have been big in the sequel...

[@tyt2lynnin1]

faster than justins collection, impressive as always! great video and intro good job friend!

[@jenkinw826]

Haha sometimes fast sometimes slow. As long as its fun will keep doing them...

[@animorphtoto]

So does it actually have bicep swivel? I noticed it had double jointed elbows but I couldn't tell if the bicep swivels

[@jenkinw826]

Yes standard body underneath

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

So Maul led a crime syndicate where Obi Wan was most likely never even on his mind because he was so busy leading his enterprise. Somewhere in there he ended up losing control of that as well. So it's like after he's left with literally nothing, all he has to live for is to have the next several years of nothing but time to kill, and more specifically, Kenobi. Even when the guy's able to find new hobbies that suited him, he eventually just couldn't keep a steady grasp XD They need to show how he lost control of an otherwise powerful organization founded under him. He was completely different at the end of the Clone Wars compared to when we see him as this broken man that's been driven mad again by many more defeats. It all starts and ends with Kenobi for this guy.

[@jenkinw826]

Damm should have hit you for the script next time... 👌

Nice job. Thanks again Jenkin

A familiar character yet with enough new elements to keep it interesting.

[@jenkinw826]

Forget to mention I got my inspiration on the intro from youtube Comicstorian as he does excellent narration of comics.... 👍

[@RickFlu]

Great review, not like those guys who talk talk talk with videos of 30 minutes to 1 hour and don´t show what really matters, the figure.

[@jenkinw826]

Just your average collector trying to have fun...

[@mledra1]

Great intro!!

[@jenkinw826]

Haha want to try something new for fun.

[@GyudonDream]

Wait for the pleather to peel after 2yrs😭

[@jenkinw826]

Well maybe can be replaced...

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Use protector. Check out Optical20 video on it. Should help preserve for longer enjoyment

[@jenkinw826]

Most important is temperature and humidity control and prevent direct exposure to sun light.

[@aarons8532]

It looks like the better version i love it

[@jenkinw826]

Only reservation is the pleather costume

[@borgisbor]

Great vid. But three DX in a row dedicated to Darth Maul? And this time from a (meh) movie where he is just seen briefly in a holographic projection? Hot Toys is milking way too much.

[@jenkinw826]

Again DX is Howard's pet project. So he can issue whatever he likes...

[@borgisbor]

@@jenkinw826 oh I can understand that, but can't help thinking it's a lazy movement from HT, such a pity taking account of how many great figures they could do!

[@jenkinw826]

To be fair the quality of their MMS etc has improve a lot over the years and not that much difference with the DX line.
