I guess I’m in the clear minority here, but I think the sculpt looks pretty great! I had NO difficulty seeing the likeness from just about every angle. The 3/4 angle was probably the strongest, but overall I’m VERY pleased! Can’t wait to get him in the lineup!
In hand, it's absolutely fine, don't know what all the fuss is about. It looks like Sam Jackson of 20 years ago, y'know, from when the movies came out...
I had this figure paid off, but canceled because of the face sculpt and no rolling eye ball function. I just couldn't justify that much money for a poor head sculpt, so i ordered John Wick and Caine instead.
Really? I feel the head sculpt looks exactly like him, mainly because you have to remember this was him 20 years ago so if you do go back it's pretty spot on!
That's Emmanuel G. Lackson but in all seriousness I know that a real artist worked on it and so many things went into that sculpt that could've been out of the artist control.
This looks like Samuel L Jacksons long lost brother. But I Like it. SLJ is just the actor who portrayed Mace Windu. The fact that it doesn't look Like Samuel is what does it for me.
Justin, I have been watching your videos for so long and I love how in depth you go with these figures. I am not a grown up, so I don’t have grown up money, but I have saved up for a very long time and can now afford my favorite and first hot toys action figure, the Upgraded Suit Spiderman. You have inspired me with your reviews and I hope to grow a collection like yours. I hope you have a wonderful day, and also, thank you. 👍😁
The pigmentation on the normal lightsaber is awesome. I never display anything with a lightsaber blade because they just don't look good but this is awesome 👌 Chef's kiss
Just campared the base to the one from kit fisto, looks like you will have the whole jedi council floor if you put them together side by side. That also means there will probably be more jedi anouncements with the same floor design to complete it!
Loved the jango helmet at the end when showcasing the poses! I know that last pose showcase is supposed to focus on the figure in the video, but I was hoping so bad you'd have Windu with his saber up to Jango's throat like in the viewing box in the arena. Could even have Dooku standing off to the side as well! I think I just want to see scenes recreated with toys and you've already got all the toys to do it. It could be like a "diorama suggestions" series. In fact, you probably already have something like that on your channel and I just need to find it!
i upgraded the toyworks saber master with about everything. i even used the head from the saber master and gave him a re-paint looks like SLJ now and david shapell
I think there's a distinct difference between collectors judgement of head sculptures and general likeness of a character for most people. If I were to take this figure to a mall and show it around to people and asked them who the actor is, I'm confident that 9/10 people would say Samuel Jackson. So I think it's a bit unfounded hyperbole to claim that you wouldn't know who this is based on this sculpt. Collectors are a bit obsessive and nitpicky and that's actually good to give feedback to Hot Toys on how to improve. At the same time, collectors can sometimes fly too close to the sun and need to step back once in a while. I think it's a solid sculpt structurally, but the eyes are somewhat robotic for lack of a better word. Anyways, great review as always Justin!! Cheers!!
Honestly the face sculpt isn't too bad and this is the only one we are probably going to get for awhile. I'm glad I coped mine because he went waitlist on sideshow.
I always liked Windu. That GoGurt commercial for AOTC with him and Kenobi is very nostalgic for me. The character is also crucial to Anakin’s fall. Windu was arrogant and distrustful of Anakin since TPM. Cool design for a Jedi and the little lore of him being 2nd to Yoda is interesting.
'This party is over". It's such a shame that Hot Toys did not give Mace the moving eyeballs system, part of Mace's character he is always shifting his eyes from side to side full of attitude.. Great review Justin, thank you.
the lightsaber bits seem like too much of a hassle for an effect that doesn't really work, I agree when you say the lightsaber looks like a flashlight. Plus you want the figure to be as clean as possible and not have ass sorts of stuff hanging off it. Some people might like it, but I don't and I agree with you
Hi Justin! Not a Bad looking Mace Windu Figure. And the Outfit looked Sick. I agreed the Likeness looked Completely Off. The other Headsculpt you'd just Shown to Everyone, looked way Better. Can't wait for you to Showcase the Customize Mace Windu Figure, Friend! I bet it will be Heck a Cool when you're done! 😁😁😁👍👍
20:18 _OHMIGOSH _*_YODA!!!!!!!_* Sorry, I’m kind of a secret, closet *Yoda* stan (is that the phrase used, these days? I can’t keep up with modern terminology, lol), so seeing him next to a frankly _gorgeous_ (even if not entirely perfect) *Mace Windu* figure, gives me a case of the happies! 😍🥰💚
Mannn the more i see this head sculpt the more i love it now i know in hand it's going to look incredible as for the padleather maybe hot toys don't want kill that many cow's.
This figure is very good, not perfect, but solid figure for a good character of prequels. It could be rolling eyes and that would be great. I got it and i am so glad i got it at a good price.
@@JustinsCollection Perhaps making a bald head and neck separated is too complicated and the union is not very noticeable. Here is the dilemma of designing so that his head has rotating eyes without spoiling his image at the union between head and neck. Perhaps for this reason, HT decided to make head and neck united and without rotating eyes.
@@santiagogaray1992they were able to do it with black Adam, but if they were this dead set on having the neck and head seamless, then I don’t know what to say.
After reading the book shatter point I had to get this guy! Even though the head sculpt isn’t perfect I am super happy to get a mace windu in my collection
I will say 7/10 mainly i don't just some points but I am happy about the purple blade those look better than i expected. But yeah "He is shorter than i expected"
I don't know why, but Samuel Jackson's one of the few people on Earth who don't make me feel uncomfortable when he swears. In fact, he sounds hilarious when we swears.
Also I agree that it maybe the expression that’s what’s throwing the head sculpt off, and also they decided to make the neck and the head 1 piece, which makes it impossible to incorporate the moving eyes, which makes no sense because black Adam was announced before him and his head was separate from the neck and he’s bald, but he has moving eyes. They’ve could’ve made the head and neck separate with this figure and given him moving eyes.
17:30 yeah it sucks that you have to have all that equipment for the LED sabers but think of it as the Protosabers the first designs of a lightsaber that were in the legends timeline, you can kinda justify it with those even tho legends is no longer canon lmao
I hate that this does not come with both bare lightsaber gripping hands. It's pretty much common knowledge that jedi use their lightsabers with both hands (mostly). Hot Toys have indeed become stindgy. They want you to display him wielding his lightsaber with both hands in the clone gauntlets. Then they will correct this with a ROTS version. In general, as a rule, by default, Hot Toys should include a pair of fisted hands, a pair of gripping hands (or trigger finger grip hands if the character is a gun wielder) and a pair of relaxed palm hands, THEN the extra hands unique to the character and/or their accessories.
I honestly wish this didn't come with the clone wars armor considering it's supposed to be an AOTC version, too many things were sacrificed at the expense of those parts. No wires in sleeves, excluded hands, just disappointing.
@@revengeofthesith. Buddy, I really doubt they were ever going to put wires in the sleeves and we all know how stingy Hot Toys are with hands. Take the win.
Thank you again for another great review! First I’ve been waiting for this figure for a loooong time, just like other collectors. I almost bought the third party version you compared him to. I’m glad I passed on it! lol but I was close to getting it. However, Hot Toys has great artist sculptures! How did this head sculpt not get reworked?? Are they going to give people a replacement head sculpt in the near future, like they did with the awful Tony Stank ? Also hot toys why are we not getting full sets of hands? The price keeps creeping up little by little and we are getting less! Justine I know you will find an artist out there and get a well made Mace head sculpt! When you do please share. Fusion reactor sabers look great. But I have a question? When you compared both hot toys and fusion, fusion kicked butt! However on video it looks white light with a hint of purple. In hand can the color be seen?
Small gripe I have besides the obvious stuff with the figures is it would be nice if we could get these 20 anniversary figures on the anniversary’s. Never understand why that is so hard for hot toys to do I mean they know what the characters look like come with and when the anniversary’s are. Maybe I’m in the minority here haha. Regardless I’m happy we got this and the other figures from this line as well
I was a bit torn on this one. I don't see the likeness all that much either, yet I still think it looks good. It helps that I'm also a nerd of the Clone Wars show as well as Mace Windu's book: Shatterpoint. I look at this figure as a representation of all of those Mace Windu's and that convinced me to pull the trigger when the waitlist came through. I look forward to adding him in (and will happily swap out the headsculpt if anyone releases a third party head haha)
I shop in Hong Kong because that is where hot toys is based. As a content creator I need to get my figures as early as possible. Sideshow, being in North America have to wait for their batch to arrive to LA before they can ship out. Sometimes this takes 3-6 months after the figure has released domestically in Hong Kong. It would be infeasible for me to shop there.
Hi, Justin Great review as always! I am really enjoying all of your videos. I am kind of new at collecting hot toys figures and I have some questions if you have a moment. I didn't know that there were diecast and regular version of ironman figures. Is it for every iron man figures or just some of iron man figures have two versions? I tried to do my own research but never could find clear answer. Also, are there other diecast version figures other than iron man? I am lost. Could you please provide me some explanation? Also, I am thinking about getting iron man 1/4 scale with gantry but separately instead of a set that comes with both since it's much cheaper. Will there be any difference if I have those two sets separately instead of the combined set? Thank you in advance!!
I think that overall this is a pretty amazing figure, but will absolutely admit the headsculpt does not look fully accurate to SLJ. I will say however, that the headsculpt actually reminds me of the Clone Wars Anakin headsculpt. I mean this in the sense that it looks like animated Mace Windu made real. Even though those character’s likeness is based off of the prequel actors, I feel like they take a slight liberty to mix the appearances on some figures. This seems least apparent on Obi Wan however, where he seems to look the closest to his IRL counterpart.
I love how subjective head sculpts and figures in general can be. There has been figures released where collectors have said its an amazing likeness and I'm thinking "are we looking at the same figure?" It's the same with Mace, personally I adore this figure and think the likeness is very strong, but other people see something completely different. Lol, they do say all art is subjective.
Dunno why people keep recommending pop collectibles. Not one of my orders have been sent and I have a lot!....they keep stalling even though paid shipping and everything.
It's so funny how people complained (rightfully) and now it's waitlisted and going double on the secondary market. To me, it's like they tried to combine the animated show and Jackson together in the sculpt. I give it a 6-ish/10. It's not great I agree, but I think calling it the absolute worst is an overreaction. I don't think it's the worst sculpt ever. That title to me goes to Endgame Cap(helmeted), Batman Begins cowl and others. I'm still picking this up, because like you said, it's still Mace and I would like the character representation for my collection. Some collectors are hoping for a new version, which I do think is possible, but not for a long while, even with next year's ROTS anniversary (could be wrong as Hot Toys operates unpredictably at times). If and when a new Mace would release, I would expect it to be within the same timeframe of Darth Maul - from the original DX to now (or not LOL).
They should feed a thin LED strip, (like ones you could buy at a local hobby shop) through the saber, those LEDs are BRIGHT and would definitely do a better job than that cheap crappy effect
when i was a kid my favorite characters were Obi-Wan and Mace Windu but my favorite villains were Grievous and Jango I didn't like the jedi as much after that
The headsculpt looks like Hot interpretation of the Clone Wars Mace. Similar to that of Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka etc. I don't hate it but it could be better.
I guess I’m in the clear minority here, but I think the sculpt looks pretty great! I had NO difficulty seeing the likeness from just about every angle. The 3/4 angle was probably the strongest, but overall I’m VERY pleased! Can’t wait to get him in the lineup!
Totally agree; wasn’t enough to bother me, and he’s now my first Star Wars HT figure :)
All good! Likeness is subjective
I agree. I don’t understand the hate at all. Every criticism I pretty much disagree with.
In hand, it's absolutely fine, don't know what all the fuss is about. It looks like Sam Jackson of 20 years ago, y'know, from when the movies came out...
I agree, I like the head sculpt. It's based on Samuel L. Jackson, he has that intense look, resting BMF face.
I had this figure paid off, but canceled because of the face sculpt and no rolling eye ball function. I just couldn't justify that much money for a poor head sculpt, so i ordered John Wick and Caine instead.

That's Emmanuel G. Lackson but in all seriousness I know that a real artist worked on it and so many things went into that sculpt that could've been out of the artist control.
Agreed it could have been something else that caused this
Ah! It’s Attack of the Clones! I was wondering why he doesn’t have the hand stump like one of the other figures!
Lol
This looks like Samuel L Jacksons long lost brother. But I Like it. SLJ is just the actor who portrayed Mace Windu. The fact that it doesn't look Like Samuel is what does it for me.
True haha
Looks like they based his likeness off the Clone Wars so I'm not mad at all

One thing i love in this Channel Justin can see if the likeness is spot on or not. Most of the time, i have the same judgment with Headsculpts
Thank you, glad I can help!
Good review, very honest response about the head sculpt but I think many fans will love it….to each their own….likness a 6 out of 10
Yeah it’s not perfect unfortunately
Could you show us some of your figures that have had the pleather decay?
Sure

It’s certainly not hot toys 2024 level imo

Nice!

So do I. I think it looks great.
Again, this was 20 years ago! So yeah, defiantly.
All good! Likeness is subjective, I’m glad it works for you!
Dunno why people keep recommending pop collectibles. Not one of my orders have been sent and I have a lot!....they keep stalling even though paid shipping and everything.
I hope it gets sorted!
It's so funny how people complained (rightfully) and now it's waitlisted and going double on the secondary market. To me, it's like they tried to combine the animated show and Jackson together in the sculpt. I give it a 6-ish/10. It's not great I agree, but I think calling it the absolute worst is an overreaction. I don't think it's the worst sculpt ever. That title to me goes to Endgame Cap(helmeted), Batman Begins cowl and others. I'm still picking this up, because like you said, it's still Mace and I would like the character representation for my collection. Some collectors are hoping for a new version, which I do think is possible, but not for a long while, even with next year's ROTS anniversary (could be wrong as Hot Toys operates unpredictably at times). If and when a new Mace would release, I would expect it to be within the same timeframe of Darth Maul - from the original DX to now (or not LOL).
Yeah they didn’t make many and some (like me) will settle for this as it may be our only Windu
They should feed a thin LED strip, (like ones you could buy at a local hobby shop) through the saber, those LEDs are BRIGHT and would definitely do a better job than that cheap crappy effect
True!
Nice job Justin
Thanks!
when i was a kid my favorite characters were Obi-Wan and Mace Windu
but my favorite villains were Grievous and Jango
I didn't like the jedi as much after that
Great faves!
I don’t see the issue. It’s a perfect figure. Looks like Sam Jackson circa 2002 Windu to me. I love mine!
Glad you like it!
That's not mace, that is Cera Dunda from Jedi fallen order... Or their 50 50 hybrid
Damn
What happened to the head sculpt. That's shocking compared to the box art 😬
Even the box art is rough
Great review!
Thanks!
Jedi always have simple outfits so the headsculpts have to be top of the line. Mace's head sculpt is just breaking this figure for me
Agreed
Another great vid!
Thanks!
@@JustinsCollection no problem you deserve it!
the old sideshow mace looks good for a 10 year old figure
Yeah
Technically the head sculp looks like the British singer Seal..
Interesting
Is hot toys with the money because I’m thinking about buying Palpatine and that will be my very first hot toy
Depends how much you like the figure
I’m a big fan of return of the Jedi Palpatine
The headsculpt looks like Hot interpretation of the Clone Wars Mace. Similar to that of Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka etc. I don't hate it but it could be better.
Yeah agreed
I'll take the usb saber over batteries 100% even if I have to buy a $5 cable.
Fair enough
Looks like a young Lawrence Fishburne
Oh
Face sculpt isn’t too terrible. Looks like Windu.
But not Sam Jackson to me
Maybe they exaggerated some of his facial features to better match his look in the Clone Wars CGI series?
Maybe!
The head sculpt look more based off the clone wars rather than sam Jackson
Could be
nah you're being too harsh on the head sculpt... pretty spot on. but to each their own opinion
Yeah likeness is subjective I don't see it personally but I'm glad you do!
If you think a purple lightsaber is awesome, give me a thumbs up 👍!
It is!
"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor"
Love it
Youre take on the sculpt is right. Too frowny 🤨😂
Thanks!
Headsculpt looks Straight up like Rupaul 😂
Oh
I will never use the clone wars braclets on my Mace. I don't like the idea that jedi wear armour
Oh ok
i mean the face sculpt looks like the clone wats animated show however that looked nothing like Sam Jackson either
Agreed
