Star Wars / Episode I The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul (2.0)

[Product Introduction] *USB-C is used for the light-up function of the lightsaber. Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series welcomes the sci-fi film masterpiece "Star Wars" to its lineup! From "Episode I: The Phantom Menace," Darth Maul (2.0 version) is here! Darth Maul, Darth Sidious's apprentice, is one of the most dangerous and highly trained Sith in the history of the Sith Order. He wields the double-bladed lightsaber, which is said to be difficult to use, with ease and overwhelms his enemies with his superior tactical abilities. Sent to Naboo to capture Queen Amidala, he ends up facing off against Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. Darth Maul as he appears in "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" is brought to life as a high-end 1/6 scale figure, standing approximately 29cm tall with over 32 points of articulation. Two newly developed heads are included. The first head has a closed mouth, and the second has an open mouth. Both are sculpted to be more faithful to the film, including the facial expression and the crown-like horns. To recreate the skin covered in red and black tattoos and wrinkles, each piece is hand-painted. Furthermore, the eyes, which are the yellow eyes that symbolize the Sith, are equipped with a movable eyeball gimmick. This allows for free changes in gaze, creating a lifelike presence. The costume, including the jet-black tunic and boots, is meticulously crafted with attention to texture and detail, resulting in an exquisite finish down to the smallest detail. The removable robe has been newly tailored to fit the body better. It has a built-in wire so it can be posed. Two types of double-bladed lightsabers are included as weapons. The first type has a USB LED light-up function. The second is a standard type that can be hung on a belt or displayed on its own. The standard type can be changed from double-bladed to single-bladed. A single-bladed lightsaber with a USB LED light-up function is also included. Each lightsaber blade can be swapped out to recreate the pose of swinging a lightsaber. Accessories include binoculars, a probe droid used in the search for Amidala, and a replacement gauntlet for the left arm with a wrist link. A variety of interchangeable hand parts allow for the recreation of numerous scenes from the film. The base features a special print of the floor of the Theed power plant. A flexible pillar allows for freely changing the figure's position, enabling you to recreate Darth Maul's iconic action scenes. Even 25 years after the release of *The Phantom Menace*, Darth Maul remains a vividly memorable figure as the most formidable Sith. This "definitive edition," further evolved with Hot Toys' latest technology, is an absolute must-have item that will make you feel the Force!
