I don't see anyone wanting to put an OT Luke head on an ST Luke body because they like the sculpt better. Or Han or Leia for that matter....
I finished repainting my HT Maul this week, I'm quite happy with the outcome. 
Here are all the changes I made to the stock HT version:
Here you can see my repaint (middle) compared to the original HT paint on the snarling sculpt (right) and SSC V2 (left). This was the original SSC release, not the re-release that had poorer paint-jobs.
Here are all the changes I made to the stock HT version:
- Extended neck length by making a new neck peg (similar to what I did with Luke; shout out to matrix for the idea)
- Repainted the red face tattoos to be more vibrant and true to the movie
- Removed the padded undersuit of the legs, and modified the upper body padding (keeping most of it in place)
- Dremeled lats and arms slightly to allow for more natural poses

the likeness on the SSC one is ace!
Amazing repaints, this was one of my top 5 pickups of 2020:
Thanks, guys.

Can anyone recommend some help for the shoulders? They seem so stiff to rotate with this guy. My Cody already suffered a break from a frozen shoulder (awaiting an exchange).

I had a similar issue with my Mandalorian figure. I had to take him apart and loosen two screws on the back of his shoulder. His right arm wouldn't budge and I could tell any more force and it would snap. Not sure if Maul uses the same body though. (unfortunately I down own it).

Completely agree. I have one and almost used it, but there was a few issues (I can?t remember now) that stopped me. I?ll have to revisit it at some point. I?m just so far behind on all my custom projects.

Looks fantastic. I was thinking of something along the same lines for my alt. HS.

I just found the discussion about the red part of DX HT Maul's face not bright enough.
Was about to do mine but when I compared the color of my Maul with the rest of the modified pics I found here, I feel the stock is bright enough? What do you guys think, do I need to do it?
That pic is taken with natural daylight on a cloudy day.
Are the paint differ from one batch to another?

I had gotten one of these recently but it just wasn't wowing me for whatever reason, aside from the heads. Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm less attached to the character and his entire outfit is just black robes. Was cool to finally see in person though but I just sold it off.

If anyone has one for sale I'm looking for Maul. PM. TIA.

Had this guy packed away in his (gorgeous) box for several months and just getting around to some posing. One of Hot Toys’ best, IMHO!
