I`ve got to say I prefer grievous with the cape (although it does look awesome without
). Don`t care if he removed his cape before he fought or not, imo it looks better with the cape and to me all that matters. I just think it fills out the sculpt alot more and makes it look more interesting.
As for maul I think it looks excellent and overall that paint job excellent also, apart from the eyes which look a little flat and lifeless. Which is especially disappointing after the excellent job SS did on the lord of darkness bust. Could be worth getting them repainted
