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. 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. 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).

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. 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. As a collection, Sideshow’s Mythos series are fine art collectibles that allow the collector to imagine what could have been, but maybe never was.
