Hot Toys Darth Maul Star Wars The Clone Wars Unboxing & Review 

Hey Justin. For the shirtless look you supposed to put the belt on to cover the waist band. Great review btw. Excited to get mine.

After seeing the different heads on the body i actually think they should have tweaked the phantom menace head/heads instead of using the Solo one, like justin said they could have just given him different horns and i think he would have looked a bit better. I believe he is about 35 at that point in the clone wars

Happy to get him despite the few shortcomings. With all 3 Mauls I want to reorganize the SW display to center around each iteration. He went from a throwaway to one of the most significant characters in the lore. Happy that Howard loves him as much as I do

I just had to get this guy because it’s the only version of Maul that really fleshed out his character. All other appearances of Maul were too brief for me to make a real connection with the character. That being said this is an excellent review, Justin. You thoroughly pointed out all the pros and cons, down to the pleather on the wrist pegs and the reuse of the Wolverine body. I like the hooded look, so I guess I’ll have to play around with it more to make it sit right.

I am actually surprised they didn't end up altering the head sculpt and just reused the Solo Maul one. Either way this figure is a pretty easy pass for me, I also can't get over how goofy he looks shirtless. Great review as always!

Rewatching this video to decide whether this Maul is enough, or if I need the new HT TPM Maul just announced. And yes, I know the outfits are different but to me it's about the face sculpts

I honestly think the phantom menace head works better with this figure than the older solo sculpt they reused. He’s portrayed to look closer to his younger self in clone wars. Either way a really cool figure

Honestly, the Hot Toys magic and the woaw effect is strongly fading for me. Waiting two years for this is a complete buzzkill. The figure is okay but let's be honest, there is nothing crazy about it and it comes with flaws, flaws that let's face it, shouldn't be there anymore when your name is Hot Toys and when it's the third iteration of the same character that you do. When I see companies like XM, launching their pre-orders in December for a crazy piece and then releasing it a couple months later ? Come on Hot Toys, really ? I really hope that InArt will move the lines and force Hot Toys to react. We want better products and way, wayyyyyy less time between the announcement and the release. Either way, thank you for the video Justin.

Great review as always. This was a must have for me, being such a big Clone Wars fan.

I'll probably be putting the DX16 sculpt onto this figure, I don't really like the sculpt they included. It works for the Solo version as he's much older but he looks way too old for Clone Wars Maul imo. Also in regards to the top of the pants looking unfished, you're supposed to have the belt on even when he's shirtless, I'm pretty sure lore wise the "belt" is how his legs attach to his torso.

Another great review Justin. For me the Phantom Menace Maul is still the best out of the 3. He just looks better, it’s the definitive Maul look.

I enjoy your snapping of the fingers .. and then POP! The change happens. Amazing!! 🤩

I didn’t get the other releases, so I think I’ll be ordering this! Great review as always!

This is only my second hot toys figure as I'm on a budget, but I am definitely thrilled to add him to my collection!. Thanks for the review!

It is actually accurate to Movie that he holds the Lightsaber at the top. He does it in The Phantom Menace after he fights Qui-Gon Jinn for the first time🤩

Finally I got my Maul today! What can be said, he's fucking awesome!!! But the sculpt without a doubt is the exact same hard scuplt, just painted a little darker red, as the Crimson Dawn Darth Maul. But that doesn't bother me. My only complaint is what a pain in the ass it was getting all his plastic and padding off him.

ur probably my new favorite youtuber, anytime i see a figure i want, i try to see if you have made a video on it. i cannot wait to get maul!

I would really love to see Darth Maul with your S2 Mando darksaber and half maul saber to his season 5 look would be cool to see

14:04 Thanos snap was so good, love how well you edited that transition

The only way to get the blade to light evenly is to add texture to the surface to catch light. They should mold the clear blade in a matte texture Lightly sanding the blade it will likely have the same result

I don’t want to say that I “hate” this version but I kinda do. Reused head sculpt... and goofiest shirtless look that’s an easiest pass. Thanks for the review!

"You may think I am Evil ... I am Not. I Am EFFICIENT!" -cit. Darth Maul

I think this might be the best hot toys Darth maul figure

i’m watching this while in school

Great review. I picked up the Solo Darth Maul and to me its has the best traits of all three combined into one.

Love this figure!! C'mon hot toys give us Savage Opress to put next to this figure!!

Awesome fig. I won’t be picking it up because my HT collection is only concentrated on the original SW trilogy and Mandalorian. I like the Clone Wars, but not a fan enough to spend thousands on it. Great Review as always Justin!!

a must buy

I have been waiting for this review !!!

I just sold my Crimson Dawn Maul. Needed the money to pay for my upcoming Phase 1 Clone Trooper and Clone Pilot. But before I did I switched out the Clone Wars head put it on the Solo head and put the Solo head on my Clone Wars figure. It's the exact same head but the red on the Solo Maul matches the Clone Wars Maul much, much better. The Phantom Menace will always be my favorite I love the costume and head sculpts especially the sinister look. I may be the only one but I REALLY want another Darth Maul with the mechanical Mother Talzin legs.

Great review and keep on going with those bloopers at the end thats hilarious!

Wow that was a spectacular review for a spectacular figure!!! Keep up the great.

I've had him on preorder forever so looking forward

Oh man, so hard to decide. Still a big fan of the Episode 1 look but this is fantastic as well.

For a clone wars lover... this is the maul to get.... Great review

They actually made the clone wars version slightly thinner than the solo one, they even made that announcement when they showed it off

I noticed something about the Clone Wars Maul and Crimson Dawn Maul, the Crimson Dawn red head sculpt matches the red body of the Clone Wars Maul better. In turn the Clone Wars Maul's red head sculpt matches the Crimson Dawn red body better.

I CAN NOT wait to get mine!!! He looks intense! I'm still hoping and praying that hot toys makes a mechanical legs Mother Talzin Darth Maul! I like The Phantom Menace sinister Darth Maul head sculpt the best out of all of them.

i mean if they would go for plastic for the sarcophagus it would probably it would be out of that cheap clam tray plastic so i much rather have it made of cardboard with a really nice print so i am really happy with how the sarcophagus turned out

Thank you Justin for this review, you put Sideshow to shame with their first look review showing the figure with a ridiculous long neck, which of course it does not have, watch and learn Sideshow!Love the screaming EP1 Maul sculpt on the figure, i may be tempted to display mine like that.I do agree however that the body underneath should of been a newly sculpted body for this particular version of Maul, seeing Hot Toys gives you the option to have the figure displayed shirtless.As always Justin, a class, concise review, thank you😎

Darth Maul was always my favorite character growing up in Star Wars that is named right I'm not for sure it's been awhile

He should have came with the dark saber. He was wearing this exact outfit when he ruled mandalore

It’s a real Ray Park face of Darth Maul. Great!

Please do post a Darth maul comparison for all the Maul hot toys if it's possible, Thanks!

My #1 complaint is he’s a little on the thin side, looks great in his clothing but shirtless I think he could of been bulked up a bit to fit Ray Parks body type rather than a cartoon, which is the impression I get.

Darth Maul has had orange nails before. Great Vid Justin👌🏾

I just got a second knock off figure and I’m losing my mind right now the fact that this happened to me twice is insane

Thank you so much for the detailed review! Alas not getting this version because my phantom menace version is my definitive Maul figure, no way I can part with that version haha This is great for those who are a fan of maul and missed out on the other iterations!

Any Maul is a good Maul,! Got one of these coming, but gonna go shirtless with DX16 angry headsculpt! Great review!

The finger nails are supposed to match the color of the horns

I wish they didn't just reuse the Solo head. It worked for that figure but I'd have preferred something different for this one. Also, I always figured Zabraks just didn't have hair, it's weird seeing chest hair on this guy lol

Nice figure...my POTM Maul with speeder will still suffice 😄

I must concede that the neck area looks a bit weird 🤭

Maul is one of my favorite star wars characters! Can you review the phantom maul?

I wonder how the sarcophagus would look if you instal some orange LEDs inside and use a printed picture of maul’s face on the inside

People going crazy about the neck. This video made me feel better. I truly think this looks fantastic and cannot wait to get mine in hand.

Great review - as soon as I saw the neck in the SS video, I figured I'd wait for your review lol. Since Clone Wars figures are a thing... I'd love Sidious (unscarred sculpt) from the Maul/Savage fight.

finally!! the box is really cool! cant wait for Anikan next

Great review as usual! This Maul is not for me for many reasons, but its allways cool to watch a sweet toy review :-)

They really should have went with the phantom menace head. Old maul head just makes the whole figure look weird

Actually Maul nails are supposed to be brownish like in this figure. You can see them with his Spider Maul ungloved appearance

great review! Thinking about getting this one but using the Solo Maul body and headsculpt for the fully clothed look. Also, not sure if it's been mentioned already, but he's not using The Wolverine (TTM19 style) body, it's the ANH Han Solo body. I have a couple spares of each and it's definitely not the Wolverine body. With that said, the ANH Han Solo body is definitely too scrawny for Darth Maul, especially the arms.

I’m pretty sure the color is crimson

First thanks for this review! Hot toys is dropping the ball. Come on! Two head sculpts should’ve been included with this Maul. Definitely an angry look! Different red on body from head what!!! Unacceptable! Single joint elbow!! No no no. Hot toys is not giving a $….t anymore! They are getting sloppy! Come on Queen Studios let’s get the 1/6 scale rights for Star Wars and Marvel. Then we’ll see Hot Toys get back to form.

Now I want a reissue of the phantom menace Darth Maul

he looks awesome !!!

doesn't look too great with his shirt off tbh. I would never display him that way so having single jointed elbows just kind of defeat the whole purpose. I'd swap them out with generic double elbow bend arms.

Not sure why, don't really like the Clone Wars one, Solo Maul looks BA. But Menace Maul is my favorite, currently waiting on mine to show up.

Thanks for the review. The painted-on fingernails were odd. Couldn't find any definitive pictures of his hands to determine if they were accurate or not. The part of the figure that seems too wide is the buckled piece around his waist. Maybe when he is shirtless, it is fine, but something doesn't look quite right to me about it when he was fully clothed. The Phantom Menace head sculpt looked fantastic on the figure. I think it might be that the colors between the body and head are not as divergent as the head sculpt that came with the figure. Single bend elbow, sigh. Pass.

It's cool but the neck just seems off for me? I still think the Solo Maul is the best Maul just like yourself Justin. Clone Wars Maul has let me down a little bit

Justin the belt is apart of his legs. Can you put it on when shirtless. Or else he won't be able to walk lol.

His nails indeed are yellow. You can see then in Season 4 Episodes 21 and 22 of The Clone Wars.

You think we'll get a HT Rebels Maul? I really like his cane lightsaber

Hi Justin, I came across your channel a few months back, and it has become my go-to place when trying to decide on whether to get a specific figure. Thank you for the videos, you and your collection are both awesome.

Justin, theres a guy with a channel that i thing might be copying your thumbnails Their channel is MRCcollectionventures It's not a direct copy but is really close

Gahhhhhhhh I'm so god damn excited to get mine

Painting Mauls nails, but ignoring Ahsoka's SMFH.

Not super accurate? the CW Maul looks more like the Phantom Menace one than the Solo one, so the sculpt they used isn't accurate I don't really mind, this release was a bit weak

Got mine today

Good

For once the light up lightsaber is finnaly a good one

Got mine coming 😊😊

If you didn’t know they were droid legs, you’d think they were just boots.

Love this

I’m prolly in the minority but I really wish hot toys would make CIS Droid figures, especially destroyers

I'm so late but is it just me what table is this where is this not even a table am I the only one having a problem with this

This will be my first Hot Toys figure. Should I pull the trigger for $260 on the Sideshow website?

AMAZING!!!! I WILL have a maul..... but which? I was sold on the ep1 version, but damn this looks insane!!

Is his robe pleather , or cloth satin look?

Why do none of these Maul figures come with the Darksaber

Hey Justin, Great review! I was wondering what the material is used for maul's tunic and would it degrade over time?

Is this figure’s head compatible with the phantom menace figure head?

Justin did they use the Mold of your upper torso to make this Maul? Good review I have the Solo Maul I love the mechanical leg's!

KENOBEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!!

If you relook at the animated maul, he has a long neck, just saying.

Damn, the headsculpt, it’s a difficult choice. 💀idk

Those blades are just way too pink. There's no reason why they shouldn't be a very deep red

so good

Great video as usual thanks Justin. Unfortunately the ankles (ball joints) and feet really jump out at me. I think i will pass and just keep my Darth Maul Duel on Naboo (Sideshow), so far the face sculpt on the Sideshow is the best in my opinion.

Sorry I keep bugging you, but I consider you THE Hot Toys expert, I'm curious on your Clone Wars Maul his right gauntlet that opens so you can turn the lightsaber on, I know it's supposed to shut and lock in place. But mine keeps popping open it doesn't look bad but it's the point, dose yours stay locked in place or dose it stay opened to?
