About this deal

Fueled by an insatiable bloodlust for vengeance, Darth Maul, the nefarious apprentice of the vile Darth Sidious, vigorously carries out his sinister master’s bidding and relentlessly hunts down the Jedi Knights through the scorching sand dunes of Tatooine. Upon finally discovering his prey, the scowling Sith Lord unflinchingly catapults off his speeder bike wielding his deadly double-bladed lightsaber, primed and ready to exact his vengeance upon his despised Jedi adversaries without mercy. This exhilarating story comes to life in this extraordinary ¼ scale statue sculpted by the exceptionally gifted David Giraud.

Darth Maul’s double-edged blade features an exceptionally long reach, making him appear as formidable as he does terrifying. Positioned above his head in a cascading-like manner, Darth Maul’s homicidal intentions are abundantly clear. No one is to make it out alive.Sent by his master Darth Sidious to the barren planet Tatooine with the mission of eliminating Queen Amidala and the two Jedi Knights, protectors of the ruler from planet Naboo, the mortal and agile Sith Lord with yellow eyes and red tattooed face under a crown of horns, wielding his double-bladed Lightsaber and wearing his dark cloak fluttering on the desert winds, gets ready to face one of his targets, after getting the location of his target’s whereabouts from his Probe Droid next to him. In the month of May, commemorating the Star Wars saga, Iron Studios proudly present their statue "Darth Maul - Star Wars - Legacy Replica 1/4", with his most iconic look just like on his unforgettable premiere in the movies in "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace", one of the most beloved Star Wars villains for the first time in this scale by Iron Studios, fiercely and intriguingly represented as the greatest Zabrak warrior from Dathomir. Combining the iconic character from STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE with the Japanese Ukiyo-e style made famous by Katsushika Hokusai, this is an awesome version of Darth Maul like you've never seen him before! The slight I can point out on this piece is that the lightsaber could have been thinner and could have been more rounded or flattened at the tips instead of pointy. However, given the dynamic and fast-paced movement of this stellar design, it strikes me as a relatively easy issue to live with. Perhaps the one other slight I might add is that we cannot really appreciate Darth Maul’s face from his left side as much as we could as his arm covers parts of it. Then again, the argument could be made that this particular positioning solidifies the maniacal intentions. This clearly was a labor of love for the artist and designers involved in this project as they somehow managed to present Darth Maul in a manner we have yet to see in statue form from anyone else in the industry. This is excellent work. This could very well be the best Darth Maul statue ever produced.

Truth be told, my Darth Maul actually shipped partially damaged. The 7 inch long Sith robe extension located right behind the lower body piece (i.e., right behind the sash) had snapped right at the edge. That area is really thin and looked prone to breakage during transport. At first, I had thought it may have been an engineering design flaw but I’m told that likely isn’t the case. Thankfully, the replacement I received arrived completely intact. The double-bladed lightsaber is made of ABS (i.e., a thermoplastic polymer). It’s a tough, impact and largely temperature resistant material. The Sith robe extensions appears to be made of a similar material (i.e., not porcelain).

There was no painting over lines, smudges, or off-centered eyes, which is always a huge plus. From my vantage point, XM presented a near flawless application of paints, especially on his facial features, arguably the most challenging and daunting task of this design.
