Sent by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul delivered a fatal blow to Qui-Gon Jinn with his double-bladed Lightsaber™ during the Battle of Naboo. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES includes 6-inch action figures, vehicles, and roleplay items from the 40-plus-year legacy of the STAR WARS Galaxy, letting fans create galactic scenes with a faithfulness to STAR WARS comic books, movies, and series. This 6-inch scale figure is detailed to look like Darth Maul from the first film in the prequel trilogy, STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Comes with his signature double-bladed Lightsaber™ accessory which can be taken apart. Display STAR WARS fandom on your shelf with window box packaging featuring sleek character design.

With exquisite features and decoration, THE BLACK SERIES embodies the quality and realism that STAR WARS devotees love. Look for more STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES action figures to build a collection of galactic proportions on your shelf (each sold separately, subject to availability).

Will you purchasing this release?
 
There are really only two Mauls left to be made.

Deluxe Spider Maul. And Old Man Rebels Maul, who was kinda done in the gaming greats but not really at all to be honest. Neither of which I see happening any time soon, or even ever, despite how well Maul seems to sell.

I also can’t see them doing a new TPM Maul for this. I also don’t think it’s necessary (which maybe makes it one more reason in camp why they might do it come to think of it). But actually I don’t expect anything else TPM other than the Anakin/Padme/Droidekka already announced. Happy to be proven wrong at this late stage but I’d bet it’s just representative of the Villains 5 pack of which I’m sure he’ll be a part of, reissued of course.
 
I rather would bet Hasbro just repacks the original Maul into the modern boxes, like they did with the latest ANH Vader and ANH Stormtrooper. Just for reason to have him in the spine mural of the TPM figures ... Hasbro logic

I'd be in for an updated TPM Maul. The old one is decent but they've come a long way with these figures since the first wave.

Exactly. Detailing has improved quite a bit, maybe even some cloth could work. Hasbro could always kit bash a version together.

We could use a split in half version

I would absolutely love a Deluxe 'Spider Maul' at some point!

I'm thinking this might turn out to be a newly retooled TVC release but would be definitely be down for an updated Black Series TPM figure

I can only imagine how overpriced he would be..Hasbro is really getting good about that.
 
Have no need for this as I already pre-ordered the 3 pack and the one with Sith Speeder. However, good for those that don't care about cloak and didn't want to pay more for the other ones.
 
It looks nice, though Maul is one of those characters that needs to come with three headsculpts to be done justice (blank cold stare, gritted teeth, over-confident smirk). I feel they did a very good job on the latter, but personally, the the thousand yard soul stare is my default favourite Maul expression.
 
I’m definitely down for this! I got the TBS Archive Maul years ago and was so disappointed. It had horrible articulation for such a dynamic character, and my sample had horrendous paint applications on the face.
 
As much as I would like to have his robe, I think this is the best option for me financially.

I’m thinking the same. I have the comic Maul as he’s the only one that was “new” after I began with TBS and picked up the gaming version since I feel he fits with Rebels.

I’ve wanted a TPM version but I just don’t feel like picking up the speeder version unless it would go cheaper. I feel like if I pick up this one the speeder WILL go cheaper…
 
Anyone else notice how they messed up Maul's chin design on all 3 of these new releases?
The design is way too far down, making it look like he has a huge lower lip.
 
I'm really on the fence on getting another Maul.
I don't display my figs in extremely dynamic poses so new articulation isn't a big deal to me.

Really, the horns are all that makes me consider it, and that just kinda ticks me off, I know they could've done far better than blunt nubs on the original Maul, and I've bought way too many re-releases of figs lately.

I have that weird robotic legged Maul that came out about a year ago, may decapitate him for my original Maul's celebrity makeover.

Would love to get Solo Maul. Kinda odd we haven't gotten him yet.
