DARTH MAUL NEVER LOOKED MEANER
Darth Maul was a weapon forged by the hateful energies of the Dark Side to ensure the victory of the Sith over the Jedi order. A creature of pure evil, Darth Maul had no personality beyond his ultimate devotion to his master, Darth Sidious. His goal was singular, to exact vengeance upon the Jedi for the decimation of the Sith ranks.

This Darth Maul statue from Gentle Giants is the regular version with the flowing cape. The sculpting on this piece is outstanding in my opinion. From the face, flowing robes, the signature double lightsaber, to the boots this piece is outstanding.

The only problem I have with this statue is that the weight of the lightsaber blades and the casting of the lightsaber itself cause some problems. After I placed the  lightsaber blades into the lightsaber they broke off overnight. I found both blades on the floor along with some pieces of the lightsaber. The casting for the lightsaber is thin and too weak to hold the weight of the blades. I had to superglue the lightsaber back together where the blades broke off. Other than this minor problem the statue over all is a fine addition to any collection.
