I sold my Attakus Darth Maul recently and don't plan on getting any more Mauls. But I may like GG face slightly better, but I do like Attakus pose much better (here me and elwood on agreement again) So the Attakus wins. GG pose suxs. He looks like a bullfighter waiting for the bull, just give him a red flag and voila.
I don't collect new Trilogy characters anymore and at 11" it would be dwarfed by my actual statues, so no thanks.

The GG Maul is pretty accurate facially, but I just really dislike the way the cape looks. The blowing fabric looks like a Koto piece. I prefer more screen-accurate pieces instead of the stylized look of the GG piece. I'm glad those that want one really like it, though. It's just not for me.
agreed always liked that pose!!!!!

Attakus is infinitely better for at least three reasons. First, bigger is better. The impact of the Attakus statue over the GG is partially due to its size.

Second, both the GG Vader and Maul figures look like they are in the midst of scenes from the movies, like part of dioramas. This makes it harder to display them for those who care about such things. Just imagine placing the GG Vader next to the GG Maul. Would you have the capes blowing towards each other or away from each other. Either way, it would feel wrong because there is no consistency in wind direction.

FInally, as with the Vader 1, the Attakus Maul pose connotes the power and violence of the character without being part of an implied action scene. You don't need to have huge billowing capes to show that Maul and Vader are powerful and deadly.

And what a terrible way to put the lightsaber. It will take too much back/front space.
