figures always sell faster than the good guys do. This is because the
bad guys are usually cooler to look at and come with better accessories.
And in this case the theory applies.
The
sheer size of this figure allows for excellent detail, especially the
head. The horns and tattoos, coupled with his fearsome expression, give
Darth Maul that "I’ll kill you then strangle this innocent
puppy" look. He’s rotten to the core! The detail of his clothes
are good and are sculpted in such a way as to look like he’s caught in
mid-motion. His two-handed light saber is accurately represented.
Dim the lights and turn him at the waist to activate his light-up light
saber action. (2 "AA" batteries required but not included, fit
in his back.) His only point of
articulation is his neck. Though, his
head does look good in any position. He stands easily and is well
balanced so he doesn’t get knocked over easily. The light saber halves
fit nicely where they’re supposed to but little kids have a tendency
to insert them in their ears.
For
a perfect display get the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn figures, also with
light-up light sabers. (They have no points of articulation but look
fantastic.)
My
one-year old likes pitting Darth Maul against the Hulk. The Hulk usually
wins.
