A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!
The 1/7th scale Star Wars ARTFX series is back, and it's
back in a big way! Beginning an all new line of great heroes
and villains from the Star Wars universe is the Sith master
of the double-bladed lightsaber, DARTH MAUL. Appearing in
Episode I - A Phantom Menace, Maul, an alien Zabrak, was the
first member of the Sith to act openly in recorded history,
ruthlessly attacking the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan
Kenobi. While he may not have survived past that film, Darth
Maul left a lasting impression on fans with his unique
appearance and amazing lightsaber skills.
The all new Darth Maul appears like you've never seen him
before. Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's traditional
Japanese ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") style,
the Sith warrior balances atop a rocky outcropping in a
samurai-like pose. Stripped to the waist, the Zabrak wears a
tattered robe that twists and flows with incredible sculpted
detail. In his state of undress Maul reveals a body covered
in intricate Sith tattoos, while his snarling face captures
his hatred for the Jedi and the all-consuming rage in his
heart. Of course, no version of Darth Maul would be complete
with his blood red double-bladed lightsaber, and this one
even has a special light up feature!
Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, Darth Maul stands approximately
11 inches (in 1/7th scale with all other Star Wars ARTFX
Statues). With its detailed construction and unique styling,
this Sith menace is a snap-fit kit that can be put together
easily in seconds without glue or modeling skill! |
