Just got charged for Momaw Nadon. Looking forward to adding him, as I never got that Doc Ondar figure.
I do wonder how the 3 pack/single carded Maul will compare. Supposedly he'll have a plastic skirt, which may fix the somewhat fragile feeling. I've never really had luck with any of the double-bladed sabers. They've all warped on me in some way- Maul, Cal, Bastilla. I think the only one that didn't was Dark Side Rey, because I have her holding it with one hand. Inquisitors not withstanding, as their hilts are far more practical in that sense (and I also have them holding theirs with one hand). Still excited to add new Maul to the shelf, though. As long as he can stand, I'll be happy. Could never get old Maul to properly stand; his legs always splayed out too far. The Nightbrothers fared a bit better, but not by much.
EDIT: Wouldn't ya know it, YakFace just posted pics of single carded Maul, going up for preorder tomorrow. He does indeed have a plastic skirt. New K2 as well (looks to be just a straight repack, maaaybe with a few different paint apps)
Ah nuts, no robe for that Maul though...
I doubt I'll grab the single carded one since I have this one now. Maybe if I see it on sale or clearance at some point. But I have so many Mauls already now, and most of them are justified because of different outfits. But the same figure I'm mediocre on with a plastic skirt instead of cloth? Hasbro has done that trick before, I'm not biting lol.
I reordered the set with Maul, Kenobi, and Jinn. When I initially ordered it, I sold the two Mauls I owned at the time, opting for a single, ultimate version. I cancelled that the other day, anticipating the one announced today but the lack of robe got me to go back to gameshtap, heh. Eh.
Definitely going to get the new Maul. At last, I will have an updated Maul both with and without cloak. At last, I will have my revenge.
I love Maul. One of my Top 5 favorite Star Wars characters. He might even be number one. And he was that to me even when his story was only the 15 minutes he's in Episode I and gets killed. But once you realize he lived, and everything he did beyond in Clone Wars, The Comics, and Rebels......Holy s***! Maul is a Legend.
I really hope we see that rumored Savage Oppress at Pulse Con. I really want that.
Next year Hasbro needs to hit us up with some new Sith though. Plagueis, Bane, Krayte, Nihil, Talon. 1 or 2 of those would be nice.
I am also interested in more Sith please. From Visas Marr to Darth Talon, and in between.
I'm pretty sure they are only allowed to release two Sith at any one time. I think there's even a rule about it.
@panthercult part of me hates that I laughed at that, but my hate gives me focus.

I hate that what he said made so much sense.
Interesting that the Duel of the Fates pack has Maul in his robe when he spent like 99% of that fight outside his robe. Hasbro and their robes, I tell ya! I was hoping single carded Maul would have the robe and maybe the binoculars like the original release, but alas. It's all good, though. Gotta be good and keep spending and shelf space down.
Also, are we sure the Dark Side has positive reinforcement? Because I've worked some places that feel like the Dark Side, but they most certainly do not have positive reinforcement. They did, however, have "employee appreciation" parties with like two pizzas to split among everyone, and, ironically, didn't allow us time to eat them while on the clock, so the pizza was cold by the time we all got to it. Now THAT's evil.
@tfitz that makes sense. I guess mine still includes weequay and tessek though. I'd also like Takeel and the Snow trooper officer before I consider the collection done.
