Darth Maul
The Sith apprentice made a menacing debut in the 6-inch scale with this Star Wars: The Black Series release. Captured as he appeared in The Phantom Menace, this #02 figure from the original 'Orange Wave' was a landmark release for the line, featuring an intricate likeness and a revolutionary design for his iconic double-bladed lightsaber that set the bar for Sith figures in this scale.
Technical Details
- Character Likeness: The head sculpt is a standout for the 2013 era, capturing the Sith Lord's menacing stare and intricate Zabrak horn pattern. The facial tattoos are applied with impressive precision, maintaining the symmetry required for an authentic Ray Park likeness.
- Tunic & Soft Goods: The figure utilizes a clever combination of sculpted PVC and soft-goods fabric for the lower half of his Sith robes. This hybrid approach allows for a realistic aesthetic while maintaining the range of motion needed for dynamic lightsaber duels.
- Articulation: Darth Maul is built for high-action posing. With butterfly joints in the shoulders and a highly flexible torso, he can achieve his signature low-slung combat stances and overhead strikes with ease.
- Display Utility: As one of the 'Original Four' figures in the Black Series, Maul is an essential piece for any prequel-era display. He pairs perfectly with the Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi (#08) to recreate the Duel of the Fates.
Accessories & Equipment
- Double-Bladed Lightsaber: Maul's signature weapon is faithfully recreated. The hilt can be separated into two individual sabers, and both translucent red blades are removable, allowing for multiple display configurations.
- Alternate Head Sculpt: Includes a secondary head featuring a different expression, providing collectors with options for either a cold, calculating look or a more aggressive combat face.
- Electrobinoculars: A small but detailed accessory that Maul can hold to simulate his scouting mission on the Tatooine dunes.
