The 2024 Star Wars The Black Series Galaxy Collection Darth Maul brings the iconic Sith apprentice of The Phantom Menace into the modern closed-box era as a fan channel exclusive, delivering a definitive TPM representation with updated sculpting, improved articulation, and a full accessory loadout. This release captures Maul at the height of his menace: silent, predatory, and poised for the Duel of the Fates. Presented in the Galaxy Collection’s streamlined packaging, the figure emphasizes silhouette, presence, and the character’s instantly recognizable visual language.
Positioned within the TPM-focused Galaxy Collection wave, this Maul serves as the anchor villain for Prequel Trilogy displays. The figure includes a double-bladed lightsaber (with separable halves), binoculars, and a soft-goods cloak, allowing collectors to recreate his reveal on Tatooine, his surveillance of the heroes, and his climactic duel in the Theed power generator complex. The sculpt and engineering focus on capturing the athletic, martial precision of Maul’s fighting style while preserving the intimidating stillness that defines his character.
