After taking so many pictures of my collection I decided to post them all up here, each row with an explaination of what's in the pictures. Included also is an introductory explaining how I first got into Maul. Enjoy!
My father subscribes to magazines such as Newsweek and TIME, each have sections on entertainment and the latest movies. One day in early May there came an issue of Newsweek boasting a painted rendition of the original Star Wars movie poster, only this one was set to represent Phantom Menace. I had been keeping abreast of the latest news about the movie, being an avid fan of the original trilogy, and this cover intrigued me.
After swiping it from the kitchen table, I eagerly delved into Lucas' new SW's world. The snarling face of Maul caught my eye the most and it held my interest. I searched the articles for information on him and found very little. Slightly disappointed, I waited for more magazines to feature the movie. I found more info in the TIME and future Newsweek magazines.
I didn't start cutting out the photographs of Maul until weeks after the first article. I thought he was cute even then, in the sinister sort of way, and started to collect whatever I could find on him. My first visit to Toys R` Us proved wonderous as I browsed the special section set aside for the movie. I recieved my first Maul figure and it started. The rest is obsessive history.
