(image shown is a photoshopped image from this SW Insider magazine scan)
"The second entry in Sideshow Collectibles Dark Lords of the Sith line (you did preorder the 12" Darth Vader: Sith Apprentice exclusive, didn't you?) is the satanic-looking Darth Maul. Created with an amazing likeness of actor Ray Park,Maul comes with a hooded Sith robe, several lightsaber variations, electrobinoculars, interchangeable hands, and a display base. The regular version should still be available for preorder at sideshowcollectibles.com for $49.99" [via]
there are also "12-Inch Accessory Set-Sith Probe Droids" ~ for which i dun really care much for ... im still drooling over Darth Maul's existence other than that of "Hasblow" ~ and am sure SideShow will do right by "him" ... actual images will definitely follow as soon as i get 'em *heh* :)

"official" 1/6th Darth Maul have turned up here!
the headsculpt likeness is truly spot-on, IMHO. altho some might say it is a tad "too big" for the body frame :p (view the 360-degree Oluf Hartvigson-sculpted head here)
am lurivng the long-cloak that comes with this "inclusive figure" and adds loads to his "mystique" :)
(all above images taken via)
this sudden surge in interest for this figure fascinates even myself (!) or maybe tis the ideal of a well-done Darth Maul figure (as compared to Hasblows or any expensive alternative) that appeals to me ... the downside is, it's making me hanker to collect the entire SideShowToys'-SW line! ... *yikes* :p
