Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - 1/6th scale Darth Maul™ Collectible Figure (25th anniversary)

[Futurion]

Darth Maul longed for revenge against the Jedi. He was finally unleashed by his Master, Darth Sidious, in an assassination attempt on Queen Amidala on the outskirts of Tatooine. He battled briefly with Qui-Gon Jinn, the Queen’s Jedi escort, but could not reach his target. Later, Maul waited for Amidala on Naboo, where he dueled with Qui-Gon and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Sith fought with blinding speed and impressive agility, and stabbed Jinn through with his red double-bladed lightsaber; he would prove unable to best Obi-Wan, however. The young Jedi, in a surprising move, cut Maul in two and sent him tumbling down the planet core, seemingly destroyed.

Hot Toys is revisiting the Darth Maul figure for the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and is delighted to present the 1/6th scale Darth Maul collectible figure with great detail. This dedication provides fans with head sculpts that captures remarkable expressions, and the outfit is carefully recreated to ensure a faithful representation of Darth Maul.

The SPECIAL EDITION available in selected markets, comes with a Darth Maul commemorative coin. In addition, this coin has a unique style that is exclusive to those who pre-order this figure at Hot Toys x “Star Wars: The Power of The Dark Side” exhibition in Hong Kong.

Wow! It looks much improved overall! I wonder if there's a version that won't include the speeder bike though? I really don't want that.

New heads, robe and outfit look much better now, at least as far as the proto goes. Love that they got rid of the etched lines to make the tattoos and it's all smooth like it's supposed to be. Hopefully the paint apps survive the production process.

Basically made the head thinner

 

[Rotfish]

I prefer the more exaggerated facial muscles on the previous angry portrait, but no sculpted tattoos is a huge leap. This looks amazing.

I wonder if there's a version that won't include the speeder bike though?

They've posted an album for the standalone figure, looks like there will be.

There it is.

That's good news. Thanks!

 

[BoosterGold06]

Cool for anyone that still needs him. Not good enough to where I feel the need to upgrade.

 

[agonistes86]

Yeah that looks like I have to get at least both heads... I'm a sucker for new Mauls.

Annoying that it doesn’t seem that they fixed the eyes though. Maul needs larger irises (the yellow part) and smaller pupils. That's what the SS V2 did so well.

 

[Jedi_Col]

Well, I think at least I can get him without the speeder. I mean...sure id love the USB light up for the speeder, but I just can't...I have six Mauls as it is, but I can't pass up this headsculpt. Looks great. Finally got that thinner face.

Edit**

Immediately after posting I realized I was just fooling myself and OF COURSE I'll end up with another speeder

 

[Chamberlian]

Day one PO!

 

[jaztermareal]

So sort of 2.0, sas expecting Straight re-release

 

[evenflow]

It does look better but I am not rebuying the set with the bike.

 

[i_amjam]

Man, that headsculpt is one of the best I've seen in terms of likeness. Makes the old Maul look more like a caricature whereas this actually looks like Ray Park in my eyes.

 

[LipSmack]

This is great for me, never got around to the first one, so should grab one this time, hopefully obiwan is coming too

 

[KerotanFrog]

I have my original version with the bike and I'm pretty happy with it. Good for those who missed out. I'm really hoping we get a young Obi-Wan tomorrow... we have to right..?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Looks stellar. Getting flashbacks to the hype for Episode 1. His face was everywhere.

If they show Obi-Wan or someone like Cassian, a new Clone I would be happy with this year's Star Wars day.

 

[webhead05]

I'm just glad I sold my DX16 when I did! Not going to pick this one up because I'm out of the PT game personally, but this is a nice upgrade.

 

[chrisstbh]

Biggest improvement is the flat tattoos. No longer bumpy.

 

[rayeknor]

Nice upgrade, clearly the best Maul by far.
