Fresh off the character’s availability at San Diego Comic-Con as a Hasbro exclusive with his Sith Speeder, the iconic villain Darth Maul is returning to the popular toy company’s Star Wars: The Black Series line as an individual action figure based on his appearance in Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
What’s happening:
- Laughing Place has been given the exclusive opportunity to reveal the new Star Wars: The Black Series Darth Maul six-inch-scale action figure. It is recommended for ages 4 and up and will retail for $24.99, with availability beginning in the winter of this year.
- This toy is based on the villainous character’s appearance in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, in which he was played by actor Ray Park. The film, which was the first of George Lucas’s Star Wars prequel trilogy, celebrated its 25th anniversary this past May.
- The figure will become available for pre-order August 13 at 1PM ET on Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers.
