XM Studios is proud to present our next Star Wars Premium Collectible Statue, Darth Maul! Darth Maul is brought to life in an incredibly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain format. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue individually hand-painted with the highest possible finish. Depicted leaping from Bloodfin, the personal Sith speeder of Darth Maul and a modified Razalon FC-20 speeder bike into a fierce battle. David Giraud and the XM Studios design and development team offer the fanbase a fabulous action themed interpretation of Darth Maul which features virtually every signature design typically associated with the character, most notably his Bloodfin speeder bike and double-bladed lightsaber. Expertly sculpted using actual reference materials from the Lucasfilm archives, ARTFX Darth Maul stands ready for combat at an impressive 1:7 scale with his double lightsaber drawn. Twin removable energy blades allow you to display Maul right before he ignites his hilt. And the distinctive crown of horns atop his head and the red tattoo markings found on his face and chest denote his Zabrak™ heritage. As an added bonus, an additional base extension is included so you can display the previously released ARTFX Ahsoka Tano™ (sold separately) with Darth Maul to recreate their breathtaking lightsaber duel! Darth Maul's speeder bike, the Bloodfin, was sculpted by Giraud's sculpting assistant, Greg Rassam. Rassam's attention to detail on Darth Maul’s 18 inch long Bloodfin speeder bike is outstanding. The Bloodfin, aplty named after a fierce aquatic hunter Darth Maul once battled on an ocean world in the Outer Rim territories, is a repulsor-lift vehicle with a powerful rear thrust engine. Its systems and schematics were designed to provide the rider with fast acceleration and easy maneuverability. Its small size also made it near impossible to target with a blaster, making the rider a formidable adversary. The curved seating on the Bloodfin allows Darth Maul to spring forth from the vehicle, immediately combat-ready, to take on his enemies by surprise.

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. A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. 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.

Rassam did an exceptional job on the Bloodfin. It literally looks like it just leaped off the silver screen on to my display shelf. The Bloodfin is positioned in such a way to make it look like it crash-landed into the splashed sandbank base with the engine still running. The battle-damage and wear on the speeder bike personifies warfare and combat. This is an excellent addition to this statue as it presents as half the story being told. The pristine seating on the speeder bike actually looks like real leather too. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more examples of Rassam's work in the near future. It's extraordinary. The statue comes with a relatively easy to follow assembly booklet which identifies what goes where, when, and how. Extremely helpful.
