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!

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.)
