Hot Toys Solo Darth Maul 016

Hot Toys has released images and info for their upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story – Darth Maul 1/6 Scale Figure. The upcoming release is based on Maul’s surprise holographic appearance as the head of the criminal organization Crimson Dawn. While the revelation that Maul survived his encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo came as a shock to movie-goers, fans of the Clone War and Rebels animated series knew of his expanded role outside of the films. Original actor Ray Park reprises his role as Darth Maul, but the character is voiced by Sam Witwer, who also voiced Maul in Clone Wars and Rebels.

The figure includes a newly developed head sculpt with movable eyes, robotic legs, interchangeable hands, a new dual Lightsaber, a cloak, a seat, and two holographs. It’s currently scheduled for release between the end of 2020 and early 2021. Look for pre-orders to go live soon. Check out photos and additional details after the jump.

UPDATE:
Pre-orders Live from Sideshow Collectibles. Priced at $274.

We have received a press release from Blue Milk LLC, a new media company formed from former toy industry professionals Derryl DePriest, Rich Alot, and D. Martin Myatt. Their first project will be a comprehensive visual guide book for Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Vintage Collection. They have launched a Kickstarter to fund the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Book, with a funding goal of $50,000. They are well on their way already, with over $10,000 pledged by backers. Check out the press release below, and a few images after the jump.

Former Toy Industry Professionals Form Media Company; Announce Premium Star Wars Action Figure Guide

ROVIDENCE, R.I. – June 7, 2019 – Today, Blue Milk LLC launches Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Archive Edition book on crowd-funding site Kickstarter. Starting from $50 for early bird backers, the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Archive Edition is a comprehensive historical manuscript and detailed visual archive of one of Hasbro’s most popular lines of 3.75-inch Star Wars action figures, The Vintage Collection (TVC).

Written by Derryl DePriest, former Vice President of Global Brand Management and Star Wars brand team leader at Hasbro, the book comprises approximately 300 pages detailing TVC action figures, creatures, vehicles and playsets. Each item in the collection will feature a write-up informed by inside knowledge from the design and marketing team, and will be accompanied by crisp, high-resolution photos. The volume will be printed on premium-quality paper, bound in a deluxe hardcover.

“The Vintage Collection is one of the greatest toy lines of all time, offering an incredible balance between source material accuracy, detail and playability,” according to DePriest. “Our goal with The Vintage Collection Archive Edition is to pay tribute to this amazing series and the team that created it, offering spectacular photography and new insights for the long-time fan while acting as a primer covering the entire series for the newer collector.”

Joining DePriest are co-authors D. Martin Myatt and Rich Alot. The trio will self-publish the book under their newly formed company Blue Milk LLC. Steve Sansweet, Star Wars super-collector and President and CEO of Rancho Obi-Wan, will write the foreword.

“Introduced in 2010 with roots in the legendary 1978 Kenner Star Wars toy line, The Vintage Collection has grown to include hundreds of figures, vehicles, and special sets. Keeping track of everything available is challenging, and The Vintage Collection Archive Edition will be an invaluable resource to fans and collectors alike,” Sansweet says.

The book’s Kickstarter campaign offers a variety of backer rewards for those supporting the project, including a TVC compendium poster by Kim Simmons, Kenner’s principal Star Wars photographer between 1981-2000. In another tie to the original toy line, the poster uses the actual yellow background seen on Star Wars action figure packaging in the ’80s. In addition to the backer rewards, the campaign has stretch goals to unlock more content and chapters.

Book Specs:

  • Deluxe hardcover in an 9.25 x 11.5 inch (23.5 x 29.5 cm) format
  • Professionally designed layout with easy to use reference guide featuring high-resolution photos and detailed write ups printed on premium quality paper
  • Comprehensively covers every The Vintage Collection (TVC) 3.75-inch action figure, creature, vehicle and playset.
  • Chapter breaks with full-page width photos inspired by classic Kenner-era packaging
  • Additional content unlocked with stretch goals
