Star Wars The Black Series Darth Maul – Hasbro Pulse

It's not clear whether Christensen will be in the famous black suit or if he'll be appearing in flashbacks as Anakin. He comes with brand new soft goods which feature a striking purple on the interior of the cloak and his iconic double ended vibroblade.We really wanted to capture his unique silhouette so we tooled up a new head, shoulder pads, and belt to make him look truly unique from any other Black Series figure we have done up until this point. It feels like an absolute gift any time we can feature Darth Maul in publishing, and having an action figure of Maul in a costume he has worn only in the comic books is really fun,” says Heddle. Jaxxon is one of the most unique and fun figures we have ever done and the publishing program was the perfect place to introduce this character,” adds Franer.

Making a realistic interpretation of the character’s portrait was also a fun challenge, especially since he has been seen in so many different styles throughout the years. The show will use the same technology as The Mandalorian, where backgrounds are projected onto ultra-high resolution screens behind the actors. A loyal servant of the Emperor as a member of the Royal Guard, Kir Kanos was first introduced in 1997’s Star Wars: Crimson Empire comic miniseries, written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley with art by Paul Gulacy.

With exquisite features and decoration, this series embodies the quality and realism that Star Wars devotees love. Correction: An earlier version of this article referred to the Kir Kanos figure as Carnor Jax, as the packaging is mislabeled. This is an opportunity to have a Black Series Luke action figure in a time period that he hasn’t appeared in as an action figure before, so that’s a real landmark for me both as a member of Lucasfilm Publishing and as a Star Wars fan,” says Heddle.

Pulled from Legends tales and current storytelling, the heroes and villains chosen for plastic immortality form a true all-star wave: Luke Skywalker ( Star Wars: Heir to the Empire), Jaxxon (1970s Marvel Star Wars and IDW Publishing’s Star Wars Adventures), Darth Maul ( Star Wars: Darth Maul), and Kir Kanos* ( Star Wars: Crimson Empire). And when word came down that Hasbro would honor that legacy for Lucasfilm’s 50 th anniversary, bringing several characters to life in the popular 6-inch Star Wars The Black Series line, it held deep personal significance. The 6-inch-scale Black Series figure is detailed to look like the Darth Maul character from The Clone Wars, featuring premium detail and multiple points of articulation.

In the films we never see the Imperial guards without their cloak, so we based the figure’s undersuit on [Kir Kanos’s] outfit. Created by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin for Marvel’s 1970s Star Wars comics, the rabbit-like Jaxxon was recently fully adopted into modern continuity thanks to an appearance in a Star Wars Adventures tale by Cavan Scott. We couldn't celebrate the first 50 years of the company without acknowledging some of the great characters and stories that have come from our novels and comic series throughout the years.
