Interest Clan Saber Series #6: Darth Maul

[PadawanLoLo]

I don't know if it's the first FX Maul with accurate silver buttons (MR started the square shouldered trend with their FX), but it's the first run I've been on that has had them. I have a few of his other sabers, and the engineering design on them is really thoughtful.

The Project M buttons are spot on and it’s FX or static, but has to be a staff. They are also properly clocked with asymmetry. And it looks like Gus also nailed the buttons….which are my fav part of this saber. I’m super excited and think the media blasted finish is also a great choice.

thanks for the support

Would you perhaps run extra buttons (both metal and resin) for purchase with this, or a future run?

I know "accurate or idealized" is a hard decision to make on a run, but I'm one of those people for whom offset buttons like on the original prop would drive me nuts on something that wasn't also resin and weathered just like the original - the difference between a prop replica vs a lightsaber replica. I'm glad the community has both.

Yeah I don’t have an issue with some idealizations, they work in favor of installs and such. Can be helpful.

I thought it was pretty well confirmed the actual single metal hero initially intended for Maul (before they decided to turn it into a staff) and used for the moulds had its buttons offset, which is why the full resin staff is offset, no?
