Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Darth Maul and Coruscant Guard Figures by Hot Toys

Shock Trooper is cool. I think the Maul from Solo looks better, outfit just seems weird.

I prefer this Maul to the Solo one, maybe it's just since I still feel it's ridiculous that character got a release from Solo, as a DX no less. But anyway, Maul I expected, I didn't expect another pair of troopers. I'll have to think about those, I had expected to get some movie Phase 1/2 troopers, but didn't think about random other ones like this from TCW.

If it makes you feel better these are the Shock Troopers from Episode III that accompany Darth Sidious to Mustafar. I'll also say that, even if I don't like the suit, the Maul body is a nice touch.

Maul looks great, I'd want this if I were a Hot Toys guy. I can't believe there isn't a Black Series Maul based on Clone Wars or Rebels at this point.

I have always wondered why SW fans (not all, definitely) are continuing to buy 1/6 clone troopers/guard, etc. from Hot Toys. Especially with the price tag they come with and being a small supporting role in the franchise.

If you're a huge fan of The Emperor (I know, stay with me) your Royal Guards enhance the display big time.

It’s gonna be very tricky deciding whether or not to go for that Maul. I’m not exactly in love with this iteration but, if a Savage Opress ever comes out then I’d want the brothers posed together and don’t want to use my Ep 1 Maul for that.

There are so many great characters from Clone Wars that would probably even entice Star Wars fans who didn’t watch the show (oxymoron much?) but HT are really focusing on Season 7 and hurling out troopers left right and centre- naturally- and they haven’t even scratched the surface of variations in Clone armours from CW yet!
