An interesting choice and a surprise TBH, given the reveals of KoTOR last time, I'd have thought they'd delve a little more into that before moving on. But I guess they don't see any other potential from that game.

Makes me wonder if Satele Shan isn't far behind. And they can't not do a Republic Trooper right?

Don't forget that female Viszla Bounty Hunter. TVC already got her twice, though

Very cool. I hope this opens the door to other EU Sith like Talon or Plagueis.

Plagueis seems very possible, but I don't see them ever making Talon. That said they did make Aayla Secure and they do have about the same amount of clothing, I just think the way Talon is dressed that's the issue.

If it's deluxe edition hope that means he's getting his younger pre damaged head as well as both the cape and swap out cloak

Truthfully I was never that into Malgus so I have no interest really, especially at almost $30 If i see it for $15 I might get it just to have but at present he's a loner.

I bought a Malgus when he was out for the Vintage Collection but didn't really care for the figure then so going to pass on the larger version as well.

I dunno. I don’t play the games so I’m sure there’s a connection for those that do, but a lot of these expanded universe characters just don’t feel Star Warsy to me at all. They feel like modern day comic supervillains to me. I can’t see how this would outsell some of the OT characters that still have yet to find their way into TBS.

malgus sold like hot cakes when it came out on the secondary market. like revan did on the tvc card. you don't have to play the games. you could read the novels. it's still at least a $65 plus resell. then there is the unpunched card as well.

I'd like Malgus so much better if he wasn't decked out in Red.
Random remark, but he just does not look Sith at all, IMO.

Plagues, Talon and the Tusken who became Sith (in the grey spiky armor) and hung with Talon (name eludes me) would be amazing.

Technically A'sharad Hett but who's keeping track.

Darth Wyyrlok would be a neat looking figure as well, or Maladi.

Before Disney purged the Star Wars Extended Universe from canon - turning its stories into Star Wars Legends - Sharad Hett was a famous Jedi Master thanks to Dark Horse Comics. Becoming disillusioned with his life as a Jedi after the death of his family and homeworld, Sharad exiled himself on Tatooine, where he embraced the culture of the Tusken Raiders, becoming one of their leaders. Eventually, he had a son he named A'Sharad,


technically :)

I wonder if we will ever see a Darth Bane, or if Malgus is the closest to him we will ever get.
I think I'd prefer a Bane, if I had to choose between the two.
Hopefully (eventually) we won't have to chose, and have both!

If they do Bane, wonder if they'd base him off of hid brief appearance in TCW.

If they're open to doing other literary characters then I don't see why Bane wouldn't be considered, he'd of course be the standard $28 for such a release and likely have 50% reuse. They could in a pinch get away with using Darth Maul's legs and just tool a new torso, head and arms. The thing is he is rather obscure compared to Mara.
