The 2023 Star Wars The Black Series Darth Maul (Cybernetic Legs) captures one of the most pivotal transformations in Maul’s entire character arc — the moment he emerges from madness, reforged by Savage Opress, and rebuilt with crude, brutal cybernetic legs. This is Maul at his most feral: half‑machine, half‑Sith, driven by rage, trauma, and a singular obsession with Obi‑Wan Kenobi.
This figure represents Maul’s second form in The Clone Wars Season 4 — after the spider‑legs but before the Mandalorian armor of Season 5. The design is leaner, more functional, and more predatory. The cybernetic legs are forged from scrap, asymmetrical, and brutally utilitarian. The sculpt captures that rawness with sharp mechanical detail, exposed pistons, and a stance that feels unstable yet deadly.
As a 2023 standard retail release, this Maul filled a major gap in the Black Series Clone Wars timeline. It complements Savage Opress, Asajj Ventress, and the Season 4 Obi‑Wan sculpt, completing the “Brothers / Revenge” arc in physical form. The figure’s proportions, articulation, and deco make it one of the most display‑dominant Maul releases in the entire Phase IV era.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
Maul’s sculpt is built around a lean, wiry upper body contrasted with heavy, angular cybernetic legs. The torso features:
- sharp musculature
- clean panel lines on the belt
- sculpted tattoos with crisp edges
- natural torso proportions
The legs are the highlight of the sculpt — asymmetrical, jagged, and industrial. They include:
- exposed pistons
- layered plating
- mechanical joints
- reinforced shin armor
The silhouette is aggressive and unstable, reflecting Maul’s feral state during his early Clone Wars return.
Head Sculpt
The portrait is one of the strongest Maul sculpts in the line:
- sharp Zabrak horns
- intense photoreal eyes
- crisp tattoo pattern
- angular jawline
- snarling expression
The paint application enhances the sculpt with deep reds, matte blacks, and subtle shading around the eyes and mouth.
Body & Outfit
The upper body features Maul’s Season 4 wrapped tunic:
- layered fabric sculpt
- reinforced belt
- textured wraps on the forearms
- clean separation between skin and clothing
The contrast between organic upper body and mechanical lower body is one of the figure’s strongest visual elements.
Articulation
Maul’s articulation system supports both acrobatic and predatory poses. The figure includes:
- ball-jointed head
- hinged neck base
- swivel-hinge shoulders
- butterfly joints
- swivel-hinge elbows
- swivel wrists
- torso ball joint
- ball-jointed hips
- mechanical knee joints
- rocker ankles
The cybernetic legs have excellent range, allowing crouched, stalking, or lunging poses. The torso joint provides expressive twist and lean, essential for Maul’s dueling style.
Paint & Deco
The deco work is crisp and atmospheric:
- deep red skin tones
- matte black tattoos with sharp edges
- metallic silver and gunmetal on the legs
- subtle weathering on mechanical components
- clean red blade coloration
The overall palette reflects Maul’s raw, unstable state during his Season 4 resurrection.
Accessories & Equipment
Double-Bladed Lightsaber (Red)
Maul’s signature weapon:
