Star Wars Black Series Darth Maul

I thought I'd stick with Star Wars and check out one of the coolest Sith in the galaxy - Darth Maul!

Again, the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series shows why they're the top line in Star Wars toys. Darth Maul is another in the first wave of 6 inch Black Series figures and is another great toy.

I mean the paint job on Maul's face alone is worth the price of admission here. Especially as he comes with two heads!

The first head has his cloak over it and that's made of a kind of soft rubber which also has holes in it that his arms go through. The head pops off of the ball joint that it's on and can be replaced with the non-cloaked version. This shows off Maul's horned head and more of that lovely paint job, but also means that you can move his arms round more and get some very cool poses.

Accessories wise, Darth Maul comes with an interchangeable head, his Sith binoculars, and of course his double bladed lightsaber. Like Luke's lightsaber, the blades come free of the hilt and it even splits in two, meaning he can have one in each hand.

And of course I'd make him fight a Jedi!! Who'd win though?

The detail in these figures, even on a figure as simple as Maul is very nice. Obviously the paint job on his head and face is excellent though there are a couple of more pieces of note. A small piece of his cloak at his waist is fabric which looks great and sits nicely over his legs. The paint on his binoculars is neat but the moulding of the lightsaber and the small pieces of paint on it really show it as Maul's weapon.

So yeah, if you love Star Wars the Black Series are the toys for you. Go Figure!
