| Amazon Customer Reviews of this item: (Average Rating is 4.43/5.00)Rating: 4 [ A Nice Expanded Universe Figure! ]Although we have already seen countless figures made of of Darth Maul, this one is worth a purchase. It is meant to depict him in training, Pre-Episode I. He comes in his classic black robes but with some snazzy red stripes for highlights. The tattoos on his face are exceptionally well done, showcasing every line. To bad Hasbro forget to paint the teeth! Maul's classic double lightsaber is updated with a metal hilt and removable blades. The saber is OK, though I worry about the fragile blades snapping. The weapon is held in place by a low-strength magnet in Maul's right palm. It is just strong enough to hold the saber in place; but you can't really twirl it like the package shows. Lord Maul also comes with a well-sculpted Sith Probe Droid, with a clear base to simulate "hovering". All in all, I would recommend opening this figure just for display purposes, since you can get some awesome poses out of him! Not a bad effort, Hasbro! Rating: 4 [ Very cool ] There are tons of different Darth Maul figures out there. Some are a complete waste of money (POTJ Final Duel), but this one is worth picking up. The sculpt, red highlights, and articulation are worth it alone, but it's the metal saber that makes this figure. Maul's knee-cuts allow him to pose for battle or kneel in front of his master. The head is one of the best Maul sculpts yet -except that Hasbro forgot to paint his teeth. His open mouth is completely black. The action feature's not that bad, but seems a tad uneccessary. The arm can be spun at the shoulder and wrist -it seems that one of these actions would have been sufficient enough. Two makes his right arm detract from the figure: it's straight. Maul cannot hold his hilt with both hands. You can fake it by having him hold the very ends of the hilt in each hand, but it doesn't look all that great. The metal hilt is nicely detailed, as are the blades, but they seem a tad short. The Sith probe droid is okay, but uneccessary. A Darth Sidious hologram would have worked better, and looks great on display in front of the kneeling Maul (you can find the hologram with either the Count Dooku or Lott Dodd figures). Overall, this one's a keeper. Rating: 5 [ Getting Mauled... ] Ok, like most I was skeptical about ANOTHER Darth Maul figure coming out but when the figure actually arrived it was a different story. The new scupt is very detailed and really great. His pose is a little funny and doesn't lend itself to much articulation but that's more than made up for by his moving arm, which both raises and lowers, as well as spins the light sabre. Major drawback -> Hasbro has relied on the magnet to hold the light sabre in place and I don't think this is enough. A tighter grip of his hand might have done more than the magnet to keep him from fliging the light sabre. All in all, a cool toy and the drawbacks are fairly minor. |
