Solo: A Star Wars Story - Darth Maul

[Product Introduction] *The lightsaber will only light up when using the forearm part with the light-up function. Hot Toys' top-of-the-line brand, the "Movie Masterpiece DX" series, now includes characters from the blockbuster sci-fi film "Solo: A Star Wars Story"! Darth Maul makes his appearance! Darth Maul, the apprentice of Darth Sidious and known as the most dangerous Sith, was defeated in battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo, his lower body severed and falling down a shaft, and was thought to have died. However, he survived through sheer determination and was rescued by his brother Savage Opress, who transplanted mechanical legs to him. He continued to operate in the shadows, seeking revenge against the hated Kenobi and to restore his honor, but in the process he became an enemy of the Sith. After the end of the Clone Wars, he rose to prominence again as the mastermind behind the massive criminal organization Crimson Dawn. At one point, Qi'ra, the lieutenant of Crimson Dawn, along with her childhood friend Han Solo, outmaneuvered the organization and killed its leader. After Solo's departure, Qi'ra gives false reports to Maul, the shadowy leader, in an attempt to protect herself within the organization. Maul orders Qi'ra to immediately join him. Darth Maul from "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is brought to life as a high-end 1/6 scale figure, standing approximately 29 cm tall with over 32 points of articulation. The newly sculpted head, featuring distinctive red and black tattoos and horns, incorporates a movable eyeball gimmick. This allows for free adjustment of the gaze, creating a lifelike presence. The body, newly developed, features mechanical legs with visible internal structures such as cables and tubes. The costume, including the jet-black tunic, boots, and robe, as well as the Crimson Dawn gold necklace, are meticulously crafted with attention to texture and detail. Two types of double-bladed lightsabers, with a different design from the previous film, are included as weapons. The first features an integrated LED light-up function in the forearm part. The second feature is that the lightsaber can be held using the included hand parts. Furthermore, it comes with interchangeable light blade parts to recreate the pose of swinging the lightsaber. As accessories, it includes hologram figures of Darth Maul and Qi'ra, allowing you to recreate memorable scenes from the film. A welcome bonus is the inclusion of the chair Darth Maul sat in during the movie! With the various interchangeable hand parts, you can recreate a wide range of scenes. The base features a special design with the film series logo and other details. The flexible pillar allows you to freely change the figure's position, making it possible to enjoy numerous action scenes unique to Darth Maul. Even after surviving and suffering many hardships, Darth Maul's evil eyes still gleam. This item, truly a "definitive edition," perfectly captures his charm and is an absolute must-have for anyone who feels the Force! Hot Toys proudly presents this 1/6 scale Star Wars series with pride and love. Keep an eye out for future releases!
