I'm gonna tell you, Kenblomi, pictures do NOT do that Maul justice. It is amazing in person and the detail/finishing are unrivaled.

The pictures do it pretty good justice so i can only imagine what it looks like in person... im sure the whole collection must be a sight too see... i was only reffering to the styling of the facial tattoos... they always vary slightly every time u see Maul so its user preference at this point... I've painted my face as maul a few times over the years and i just always thought it looked more "menacing" when the black around the eyes was kept tight around the eyes... kind of like his makeup was in the Tatooine scenes...

I dont know what happened to his right forehead lines in those scenes tho... :confused

You are correct, in the film his face paint changed every time they applied it.
The paint on my head matches very precisely the set of LFL continuity/reference pics they took of Ray Park's head in full make up from a ton of different angles including the 360 degrees shots.

Thanks nightwing!
I'd love to get a shot of him standing next to my display one day.


Btw here are some other links to threads showing off some of my life size displays.
There is a lot more variety of stuff on my site (which seriously needs updated when I get some time), but there are some newer pics in the threads below.

Ahhh... I gotcha, well you definitely seem to know ur ***** and appear to be very detail oriented so im sure you matched your referencing images spot on... and If Lucas says thats the way it is then there u go... lol You should post a few of your referencing images for a nice side by side comparison...:thumbsup

Hey Gino, is the mannequin fully poseable or does it have interchangeable arms or something? Also, how or where would one go about obtaining such a mannequin...?

I´m curious about that for years!!!
I love the poseability of your displays :thumbsup

Thanks Markus. :thumbsup
The mannequin is fully posable.
It is made entire out of wire and soft foam.
About ten years ago, I bought 3 of these mannequins and haven't found any more of them since (they were being liquidated).
The other mannequins I use for my displays are just your run of the mill fiberglass mannequins that are highly modified.

Gino, they sound like these...

Da Vinci Bendable Mannequin | Bendable Mannequin Collection | Adjustable Manikins | Poseable Mannequin,Adjustable Mannequin,Adjustable man,posable mannequin

Flexible Mannequin - Male Athletic Flexible Mannequins - Poseable Flexible Mannequins

I've searched high and low for reasonably priced flexible high-quality manny's.

These aren't cheap, but they are extremely posable, and can be modified by simply cutting the foam off them to the desired shape.

hope that helps

Nope the ones I have I bought for $40 each.
They look like they were made of wire hangers.
If I had more money at the time (poor college student) I would have bought a bunch more.

Re: Darth Maul display -updated 10-23-11 new pics w/outer robe see post #95

I have one of these exact mannequins and I was going to use it for my Maul display but the problem was that its too tall and the shoulders are way too wide for Maul... so i gave it to my Vader display and am now using the old mannequin I got a while back from Flexible Poseable Mannequin this one was a much better starting point for Maul... just to throw that out there... The only "Wired mannequins i've seen online were from China and had to be bought in bulk quantities... Male Mannequin (UNTX-110) - China Male Mannequin,Metal Wire Mannequin,Full Body Male Mannequin in Mannequin

so yeah...:unsure

My wire mannequins aren't exactly the same, but very very similar to those Chinese ones you posted in that link.

Re: Darth Maul display -updated 10-23-11 new pics w/outer robe see post #95

Yeah i saw it in one of your old threads, I'm just not sure what kind of wire those Chinese ones are made of or if they are even poseable... The ones I have are pretty decent but I can't pull off that crossed arms look as well as you did... Those pics u posted of that pose are AWESOME!
