“You will never be strong enough to protect your pupil, and you will perish for your failure.” It was 2023 when the last Star Wars Black Series release packaged for and sold at Disney Parks and Disney Stores as an exclusive was released: the Dok Ondar figure from Black Spire Outpost. Now, some three years later, the Black Series is heading back to Disney Parks with a new 2-pack release of the Jedi Temple Guards, as seen in the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels. The new Jedi Guards pack is a closed-box design, like Ondar, with an opening front cover, which, unlike Ondar (who arrived during the plastic-free era), reveals a window and the figures underneath. The box is the same profile in terms of height, depth, and width as a standard Black Series 2-Pack but uses the Disney Parks branding with a grey outer border around a hexagon-shaped ‘door’ in which we have an illustration of the two included Jedi Temple Guards in grey-scale art. Above them, and in a deep red band is the name of the set. To the bottom right of the front cover is the foil Dok Ondar merchandise sticker. The back of the box has two further greyscale images of the two guards and some background text that talks about the Jedi Temple Guards' role as ‘anonymous sentinels’. The front, once open, features more text that goes into detail about their ‘formal robes and identity-concealing masks’ and their dual-bladed weapons. This sits alongside an identical version of the artwork used on the back of the box Inside the box and set into an inner tray are our two Jedi Temple Guards and their lightsaber weapons, with the tray then framed at the sides and behind with a deep red cardback that matches the wider colour scheme of the box. The first Jedi Temple Guard is the same design, from The Clone Wars, as released in 2025 as a single figure in the Galaxy Collection, part of the 3rd Fan Channel Wave of that year. He is wearing the more ornate robes, which are applied over the base body as softer rubber sleeves to create the cross-robe tunic in white with golden painted Jedi symbols on the chest and over the shoulders. This runs down to a two-piece skirt, the outer skirt being plastic while the inner skirt is a soft goods piece in beige with a lighter cream trim. Around the Guards' waist is a belt, part of the skirt piece itself, painted in browns and with several ornate keys hanging around its width. These are each painted in gold or silver. Under the robes there is a basic torso in tan brown, with matching arms that then include darker beige bracers and gloves. The legs are a grey colour, again plain in design with the outfit concluded by a pair of knee-high boots with a more ornate knee guard and visible clasps and straps that are left unpainted. The Guard’s hood is also a softer plastic, white in colour with beige trim and shaped to frame the head naturally and to line up with the main tunic so they appear on first glance as the same piece. Under the hood is an individual headpiece sitting on a neck piece. The facemask is the brightest white of the whole figure, with the sculptural markings each picked out in gold. vs 2025 Galaxy Collection Single Release (right) Comparing this new 2-pack release with the original 2025 single figure shows no changes physically and only very minor paint variations that we might expect from different factory runs. Our Jedi Temple Guard is armed with a dual-lightsaber pike that comes in a gold and silver hilt with a peg to one end that can be used to holster it on the Guard’s belt. The central silver grip fits into either of the Guard’s gripping hands and can be displayed as it stands, or ignited with two translucent yellow blades included - shorter than the usual saber blades - that can clip into place. The second Jedi Temple Guard is new to this set, and is based on a different outfit worn by the Jedi Temple Guards in flashback scenes from Star Wars: Rebels Season 2, Shroud of Darkness. These Guards are without their outer robes and hoods. The main suit of the second guard is a simple set of grey trousers and a varying grey-sleeved tunic. Over this sits a white set of shoulder and chest armour, sculpted with the ornate gold scrollwork and Jedi symbols that are then painted in white. The arms sit under the shoulder pauldrons and are the exact same ones used on the first Jedi Temple Guard, including the bracers and gloves in two tones of light tan brown. The waist has a simpler belt in dark brown with gunmetal clasps and a pair of hip-protecting panels sitting on either side in the same white as the armour and with flashes of gold trim at each corner. The legs underneath are the same upper legs as the first Guard, but the boot design has been changed to remove the ornate knee design to better match the visuals from the episode of Rebels. The second guard has the same head as the first, just this time it's not enshrouded in a hood and is fully visible. The main mask is white, with gold painted sculpted scrollwork across the front section. At the back, we have a plain grey panel that lines up with the mask to complete a fully enclosed helmet. The neck piece is the same as the original figure, but painted up differently in two tones of grey to tie it to the main outfit. This Guard also features a twin-bladed lightsaber pike, but this is a variation on the other Guard’s weapon and features a folding ability similar to the one we see Rey wield in her Dark Side Vision in Rise of Skywalker. Like the other Guards' hilt, this is silver and gold in colour with each half also including a ribbed collar painted in black. The folded weapon can be holstered by way of a peg and corresponding socket on the belt. Otherwise, it can be gripped in either or both hands. There are two further translucent yellow blades for this saber, allowing an ignited look for display. As both figures share most of the articulated parts, articulation is the same overall, with 17 points of articulation in total on each figure. The legs see the removal of the thigh swivel, and the rotation now sits within the knee joint. The fully robed guard has some level of restriction with the longer skirt piece, while the second guard is more poseable in terms of kneeling or combat positions. The upper torso is jointed at the waist with a ball joint, and above it the neck has joints at the top and bottom. Again, the robed Guard has reduced movement in the neck/head thanks to the hood, while the second guard has a full range open to him. The arms include butterfly shoulders, elbow joints and wrist pivots, and both guards can achieve two-handed weapon positions for their lightsaber staffs, either guarding their post or in battle against an enemy of the Jedi. This Jedi Temple Guards set is beautifully packaged, but in packaging that aligns with Disney Parks collectibles and not the wider Black Series, where figures in this style of box are a minority if you are a boxed collector. Its also one of the first Disney Parks pieces to not be directly tied into Galaxy’s Edge or the Black Spire Outpost. The price tag is higher than usual, with Disney charging $59.99 in the US. The UK availability has been difficult to say the least, with an early listing on Hasbro Pulse now ‘disappeared’ and no Disney Store pages. There are, however, some options for import stock from the Far East through UK etailers, which is how our set was sourced. With this set is not being brilliantly handled by Hasbro/Disney/Distributors, so this could go either way. It may become super hard to find and therefore shoot up in price, or it could just as easily be plentiful and even on clearance in the next few months. With the UK having no solid Disney Store apart from London, and no Parks, this is one you will need to source online. In terms of value for money, the set offers nothing extra considering the price equates to £30 per figure. The same robed Guard was a £25 RRP less than a year ago, and while the new figure is impressive and aligned to Rebels rather than The Clone Wars, it should really have been a single Galaxy Collection Rebels release rather than making it exclusive to this set. Overall, while the figures are well executed and welcome additions to a collection, there isn’t enough to warrant the increased price other than the box and artwork. The set is perhaps missing a few added extras such as a Pau’un head for the Jedi Temple Guard that would become the Grand Inquisitor.

"I shall never quit. To quit, to surrender, is to fail." Jon Bernthal’s Punisher had a very good run across 2025 into 2026, returning to the Marvel Universe in Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, followed by his own Disney+ TV special ‘One Last Kill’, and finally a role alongside Spider-Man in Brand New Day. That, of course, led to new figures of Frank Castle, the first of which was based on his Born Again appearance and arrived in 2025. This was followed up in 2026 with the announcement of a second Frank Castle Punisher as a Marvel Legends special release. This 2026 Punisher figure started shipping at the very back end of July, almost to the day that Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered in cinemas. The figure uses the usual single Marvel Legends box set in jet black with the Legends logo to the top left, and Hasbro’s logo at the bottom right. There was no specified source material for the figure; instead, it is branded only with the Punisher logo alongside the character name and on the bottom rail under the figure window. To the sides, we had images of the figure itself, with a full-length image of the new figure on the back alongside background text that summarises Frank’s origin story, talking about the murder of his family and his transformation into a ‘vengeful vigilante’. Inside the box and backing the inner tray containing the figure is a backing card containing a large Punisher skull logo. Out of the box, Frank arrives with his full beard, so despite the lack of a logo or a specified source on the packaging, this is The Punisher more or less as we leave him in One More Kill, fully kitted out and with a full beard. It was indicated by the Hasbro Legends team that the figure was based on concept art, and due to the changes in Frank's final costume on screen, this was released under a generic Punisher TV series header and not directly from One More Kill, or as some might have hoped, from Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The figure starts with a pair of black cast trousers, reused from the Hawkeye Disney+ figure from 2021, which does mean they include a thigh swivel and also have the variation in the plastic colour between the upper thigh and the rest of the legs. The upper body includes a hard cast combat vest with strapping and buckles all left unpainted. Around this is wrapped combat webbing and a belt with various ammunition pouches, a knife sheath, and a handgun holster. Over the top of the vest and down onto the ammo pouches is the Punisher skull logo, applied as though spray-painted into place. The arms are short-sleeved, an inaccuracy in the figure compared to One Last Kill where Frank was wearing longer sleeves. Between the vest and hands, the skin tone is cast in the base colour and includes sculpted muscular detail and veins. Frank is wearing a pair of combat fingerless gloves, another reused part having been taken from the John Walker Thunderbolts figure. The headsculpt on arrival is a neutral-looking Castle with a full beard, and part shaved back and sides. Facial printing enhances the likeness to Bernthal, and includes wound damage with a cut on the nose and over the left eye. This can be swapped out for a screaming, angry Frank with the open mouth coloured to include the tongue, gums and teeth. The same battle damage is applied across this head. They swap out easily enough with each other, but be mindful of over-swapping, as this can result in the twin-sided ball joint popping out with the head rather than staying in the neck. Frank can also have his hands swapped out, with a second set of clenched fists included - again courtesy of Thunderbolts John Walker - for hand-to-hand combat positions. vs 2025 Born Again Punisher (right) inc. ability to headswap across both releases When you compare this new Punisher figure side-by-side with the Daredevil: Born Again version, you will see similarities, but no obvious reused parts apart from perhaps the neck. This means the heads from both versions are interchangeable if you’d rather have this figure without the beard. Ironically, the longer sleeves on the Born Again version would have been a much better choice for the One Last Kill figure. Accessories are plentiful in the set, starting with a pair of smoke grenades that are cast in black with silver rings and base trim. These have a socket on the reverse of each that connects to enlarged pegs on Frank’s belt. That means they are both part of the costume, or an accessory that he can pull from his belt and throw at his enemies. Up next, and also stowed on his belt, is the combat knife that was included in the Born Again version. The knife includes a relatively crisp level of detail, including the grip and the blade serrations. It is, however, cast solely in a grey colouring. As well as being holstered, it can fit in either hand and be wielded in a forward or backhand grip. The final holster on the belt is for Frank’s handgun. Again, this is the same as was included on the 2025 release and is also cast in one solid colour with no paint apps. It is intended to go in the right hand, but the issue with re-using John Walker’s hand here is that this is a pointing position and not one originally designed to hold a gun. The fit is ok, but you will struggle with the finger getting into place. Up next, and another re-use, is the fire axe from the 2025 release. Similarly cast in grey and able to be slotted in either right or left hand, ready to be used in hand-to-hand combat, or thrown at approaching (or retreating) enemies. And new to the set is a new shotgun piece, the most detailed of the lot with a painted brown stock and forend grip. There is also a sculpted bullet in the magazine picked out in silver on one side of the weapon. The grip into the right hand is problematic here also; in fact, it is worse than the handgun, with the extended finger not getting close to locking into the trigger, while the grip is tighter and further back than it needs to be to secure the shotgun. We can achieve some positions, but not fully firing positions. To mimic firing, the final accessory is a plug-in effect piece that simulates muzzle flash. Cast in translucent orange, it securely slots into the barrels of either the handgun or the shotgun to give an enhancement for display. All of these accessories and the various positions for firing, fighting, or throwing are achieved through 19 points of pinless articulation. As mentioned, the donated Hawkeye legs still include a thigh swivel, as well as a double-jointed knee and a robust ankle rocket. Castle can therefore kneel as well as sliding into wider leg stances or forward attacking positions, the more dynamic of which will require an aftermarket stand. The arms are devoid of a butterfly at the shoulder, which is another impact to the shotgun positioning in particular. Down from the standard shoulder is a bicep swivel, dual-joint elbow, and a wrist pivot. The torso joint bisects the front Punisher Skull log, so while there is movement forward and backward, engaging this joint will disrupt the look of the figure. The final joints sit in the neck, top and bottom, giving the head plenty of range. While it doesn’t say so on the box, this is very much a Punisher: One Last Kill release, mirroring much of the final outfit Frank Castle wears with the exception of the arms, which needed to be longer-sleeved. As a special release, it does command a slightly higher price of £26.99 RRP in the UK, but you cannot argue with that price considering the volume of accessories and parts. As well as being inaccurate, the figures' arms are also problematic in terms of posing. The hand choice is not a good one for weapon grip, and while it just about works, there must be better options out there that Hasbro could have used for the shotgun in particular. A solid overall release, but not one that will really go with your Spider-Man: Brand New Day figures considering how different Frank looked in the movie. I suspect that Brand New Day hole may not be filled any time soon, if at all, considering this release was likely developed to bridge the Disney+ One Last Kill and into Brand New Day. That in itself is a shame, as that leaves this figure standing solo on display with no contemporary figures to sit with it, and the Brand New Day display can’t complete the trio of Spider-Man and Punisher vs The Hulk.

"Is this what our future holds? Always running." Maul made his triumphant return to the Star Wars Universe in 2026 with a new animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord, continuing his story from The Clone Wars and bridging the gap until his brief cameo in Solo and his eventual final appearances in Star Wars: Rebels. A four-figure wave of Star Wars Black Series figures was unveiled for the first season, and these were shipped in July 2026. The wave features Maul himself along with Rook Kast, the Eleventh Brother Inquisitor, and Devon Izara. The Shadow Lord collection for the Galaxy Collection was assigned another red tone, a brighter version than that used on Andor and Attack of the Clones, but still very similar. The focus colour is applied over the black box in terms of the numbering and character details as well as on the side artwork. Devon Izara is number 04 in the collection, pictured straight on to camera in her cloak, looking to one side with her lightsaber in hand and angled towards the floor. As Devon is shorter than most of her peers in the line, the imagery sits her lower in the wider montage with the cityscape of Janix behind her. The artwork connects to the previous figure of The Eleventh Brother and will connect into the next Maul: Shadow Lord release, Marrok. The picture for Devon is used again on the back of the box with a short piece of text that positions the premise of the show rather than the character, and this same text is used on all the Wave 1 figures. Inside the packaging, Devon Izara is set against a red-hued backdrop that includes an embedded image of the same Janix skyline we see on the side art. Devon has, as is the case with all animated characters, been converted from her on-screen look in Shadow Lord to what she might look like in a live-action setting. Her sole outfit from Season 1 of Maul has been replicated with a dark blue tunic top, beige arms and grey bracers, on the left of which is a beige tan band/communicator. Her belt is a soft plastic individual piece used to hide the gap between waist and legs, and this is also coloured in beige, with a grey band around the centre. Devon’s legs are sky blue and otherwise plain in their design, working down to a pair of lighter brown boots with a tan upper section. Over all of this sits Izara’s cloak. This is sculpted rather than being soft goods and features a rough, hewn texture which wraps around her neck, covering the lower part of her face. It then sweeps down over the shoulders, running almost to the floor. The cloak can be removed, but the head has to be popped off first. Once the cloak is off, the head is fully revealed as a live-action interpretation of Devon Izara, complete with pink skin and facial print tech to pick out her eyes and mouth. The Leku head-tails are wrapped with a leather-look cap at their base and then extend as a softer plastic down Devon’s back. Sadly, the more subtle markings of the Leku seen on screen in the animation are simply missing from the figure. The likeness is difficult to judge with no actor on which it can be based, although there are elements that do look like her voice actor, Gideon Adlon. Devon comes with 19 points of pinless articulation, which includes an upper body with a ball-joint waist, which allows the ability for forward, sideways, and backward leaning. The neck is jointed top and bottom, providing extra head movement and the ability to mimic some of Devon’s mannerisms. The arms feature ball-jointed shoulders, elbow joints, and wrist pivot. The legs provide a stable base for posing and include a hybrid of the older and newer leg configuration with an ankle rocker, rotating single knee joint, thigh swivel, and hip joint. Without the cloak in particular, the range on the legs allows for sitting, kneeling, and lightsaber form posing. Her lightsaber is included as an accessory, and this is a silver piece with a brown central section and grip. It includes both a loop at the far end and a peg on the side. This is designed for two holstering positions on the figure's belt. The loop allows it to be hung on her right hip, while the peg slots into a socket right at the back for a hidden position behind her cape. The hook works fine, but the peg is incredibly difficult to engage. Like the Rook Kast blasters from the same wave, the principle is sound; the execution is not great. Devon Izara is another relatively strong conversion from animated series to Black Series live action styling, but does look a little vanilla in that likeness considering the expressiveness of the animation. She is missing that scowl, and like Rook Kast is missing some of the angular features, the face being softened completely. The lack of markings on the head tails is also disappointing, while the wider outfit is a decent replication - but a little too clean. The plastic cloak works fine, and still allows a range of posing when it's in place. Taken off, Devon has a wide range of movement with or without her lightsaber and provides companion pieces for the other Maul figures to date, either displayed alongside Maul himself, or facing off against the Eleventh Brother. The key will be if we can ever unite Devon Izara with her Master, Eeko-Dio Daki, from Season 1, as that will be an impressive pair for your display.

"Since you claimed the throne of Mandalore, I have followed you without question” Maul made his triumphant return to the Star Wars Universe in 2026 with a new animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord, continuing his story from The Clone Wars and bridging the gap until his brief cameo in Solo and his eventual final appearances in Star Wars: Rebels. A four-figure wave of Star Wars Black Series figures was unveiled for the first season, and these were shipped in July 2026. The wave features Maul himself along with Rook Kast, the Eleventh Brother Inquisitor, and Devon Izara. The Shadow Lord collection for the Galaxy Collection was assigned another red tone, a brighter version than that used on Andor and Attack of the Clones, but still very similar. The focus colour is applied over the black box in terms of the numbering and character details as well as on the side artwork. Rook Kast is number 02 in the collection; her artwork connects to that of Maul on her left and the Eleventh Brother on the right. The artwork features Kast with her blaster out in front of her, and in the background, her Mandalorian Kom'rk Class fighter transport in the background. The image is used again on the back of the box with a short piece of text that positions the premise of the show rather than the character, and this same text is used on all the Wave 1 figures. It is worth noting that for some reason, Rook Kast's box art colouring seems out of line with the other Shadow Lord figures, the artwork sitting a little darker and with a more sepia tone. Inside the packaging, Rook Kast is packed into the usual inner tray which then sits in a cardboard backing tray that uses the same red accent colour, embedded with a further image of her Gauntlet Fighter ship in the background. Rook Kast is making her debut in the Black Series despite making appearances on screen in The Clone Wars. She is an entirely new sculpt, replicating her unique Mandalorian armour with its burgundy armoured components over a dark grey and black undersuit. The armour is sleeker than that of Bo-Katan or Koska Reeves, and while this does give Rook Kast a slimmer profile, this is still realistic in style rather than a direct replication of her animated character. The armour features pauldrons, applied with the black icon of the hand of the Shadow Collective on the right-hand side and what appears to be the coiled veix symbol of House Kast on the left-hand side. Around the waist is a longer skirt section which includes a fan design with black inserts and grey protective panels at either side. The legs are black and grey with red knee armour and red shin armour with black boots. Further paint detail to enhance the armour is applied on the chest strap clamps and around the back on the jetpack. The jetpack itself is not removable, and is slimmer than the usual format with a wider profile and smaller rocket sections. It is painted in black, red, and with silver sections. Rook Kast arrives in the box unmasked with a brand new sculpted head. She is voiced in Shadow Lord by Vanessa Marshal, but the likeness does not lean into this to translate the head sculpt to a live-action setting and instead creates an interpretation of what Rook Kast might look like if cast directly based on her Clone Wars and Shadow Lord looks. She is extremely pale-skinned, with a shock of purple hair and photoreal application on the eyes, the eye makeup and the lips creating a stark contrast of dark makeup against the lighter skin tone. Likenesses on figures translated from animation are always hard to judge. Rook Kast is certainly recogniseable, but perhaps looks a little younger than maybe she should be, and she does lose some of her prominent angular features we see on the show. Kast comes with her helmet, but in order to keep the shape of both the helmet and the hairstyle, Hasbro has been unable to make this a removable helmet, so it is included as a swap-out head option. The way it's designed still allows the helmet to be used as an accessory held under Kast’s arm, or it can be swapped out with the unmasked head by way of an extended neck peg and ball joint. The helmet is angular, coming to a more prominent point at the front. The visor is painted black and is shaped in the same way as Bo-Katan with the Nightowl lines. The helmet includes red and grey markings across the top, paying homage to Maul and the Shadow Collective. Around the visor is weathering and wear in a grey finish that also extends around the side, giving a worn look. This is particularly effective, but then is out of line with the armour, which is presented clean and undamaged. Rook Kast comes with her pair of WESTAR-35 blaster pistols. While these are similar to other releases, they do appear to be new, as they each now incorporate a very short stubby peg and are handed right and left to correspond with sockets on the belt. This holstering option is not particularly good, nowhere near as good as what we often see on Jedi figures for their lightsabers. On the figure we purchased, one side just about locked in place, but the right-hand blaster seemed to be too short on the peg to hold in place. When not holstered, the blasters fit in Rook Kast’s hands where a trigger finger drops into place ready for the weapons to be fired or cradled ready for battle. Articulation is formatted as per the current layout with 17 points in total, with two lost by the removal of the thigh swivels, which enhances the aesthetics and does away with that older issue where the two different sides of the thigh sometimes came in variant colours or finishes. The legs use ankle rockers and a rotating knee joint for posing alongside the usual hip joint; there is even mobility on the knee armour, which can be moved and aligned correctly when the knee is moved. Rook Kast is stable once posed with tight joints. She can kneel - just - with the skirt section sitting just high enough to not impede the pose, but the knee bend is not quite enough for a true kneel, more of a sideways lean as though sliding into a firing position. The chest has a ball joint tucked in at the waist with limited movement. The arms include butterfly shoulders, rotating elbows and wrist pivots and have a good range of movement for firing positions, or more generic poses including holding her helmet. The twin joint neck gives a reasonable amount of rotation and tilt, but with the upper ball joint sitting so high this is less than we might normally expect. Overall, Rook Kast is a faithful replication of the character we see in Maul: Shadow Lord, converted more or less to a realistic style although perhaps still not quite bringing with it the angular features of Kast, who is given a more rounded and marginally younger face sculpt. The armour is a nice variation in both design and colour to the Night Owls or Covenant we’ve seen plenty of over the years thanks to The Mandalorian. I accept the helmet being an alternative head rather than removable to maintain the proportions of both, but I do feel the holstering solution for the blasters is pretty poor in execution. While there is potentially Mando-fatigue out there for collectors, the different styling of Rook Kast and her alignment to Maul and his Shadow Collective should serve her well, and I can’t wait to expand the Shadow Collective further, having Maul and Rook Kast joined later this year with the recently announced figures of Icarus and Kebris, the Super Commando.

"You lie to me and expect Imperial favor?" Maul made his triumphant return to the Star Wars Universe in 2026 with a new animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord, continuing his story from The Clone Wars and bridging the gap until his brief cameo in Solo and his eventual final appearances in Star Wars: Rebels. A four-figure wave of Star Wars Black Series figures was unveiled for the first season, and these were shipped in July 2026. The wave features Maul himself along with Rook Kast, the Eleventh Brother Inquisitor, and Devon Izara. The Shadow Lord collection for the Galaxy Collection was assigned another red tone, a brighter version than that used on Andor and Attack of the Clones, but still very similar. The focus colour is applied over the black box in terms of the numbering and character details as well as on the side artwork. The Crow is number 03 in the collection, pictured looking back over his cloaked shoulder with both lightsaber blades extended and a backdrop of a fire. The artwork links Rook Kast on one side to the fourth figure in the wave, Devon Izara, on the left. The Inquisitor image is used again on the back of the box with a short piece of text that positions the premise of the show rather than the character, and this same text is used on all the Wave 1 figures. Inside the packaging, the Eleventh Brother is set against a red-hued backdrop that includes an embedded image of a fire in the background, both applicable to scenes in Maul but also paying homage to his first appearance in Tales of the Jedi where he fights Ahsoka in a burning village. The Eleventh Brother is a brand new figure even though several Inquisitor parts already exist in the line. Like those other Inquisitorial releases, the suit the Eleventh Brother wears is predominantly cast in a dark grey, with black gloss used on the boots, gauntlets, and on elements of the softer plastic belt and skirt piece, which also has a silver buckle and red and white indicator lights to the side. The aforementioned gauntlets are interesting as they work up to a large circular elbow section that starts to look robotic rather than biological. At the other end of these gauntlets are a pair of clawed black gloss hands which will not only grip the weapon, but are shaped to also be posed reaching out or manipulating the force. The cloak is soft goods, a dark black tailored piece that is connected at the neck and tied into a circular clasp on the torso. It features the Imperial cog-wheel symbol on both shoulders in a slightly faded white print directly onto the cape. The head and hood are sculpted and sit over the cloak and shoulders of the figure to complete the look. This is all black apart from the beaked mask, which is a white bone finish with some black fine-lined markings. The eye sockets and all the space behind the mask is left blank and in deep black, trying to give some level of impression of the mask not quite sitting on a face or head behind. The Inquisitor comes with the circular twin-bladed lightsaber hilt, another new piece that is a harder plastic in grey with painted components that include red and silver panels. There are no holstering options, either at the belt or on the Eleventh Brother’s back. That leaves the ability for the Crow to hold the saber, which is via the clawed hands, the right being most secure but the left also doing the job. There are two translucent red blades included, allowing for an ignited saber display either as a single or dual blade option. The articulation supports some degree of two-handed posing. Articulation is 18 points in total and interestingly uses an older configuration on the legs with a thigh swivel, while still featuring a rotation knee joint. While there is no obvious re-use, it is interesting that these seem to use elements of both the current and prior leg configuration standard. The legs are solid, robust, and able to kneel or sit in wider battle stances. The arms include butterfly shoulders which support the two-handed posing with the saber. The soft goods cape means there are no arm restrictions, and you do therefore get plenty of options. The issue, however, is that the waist ball joint has barely any forward lean to have the Eleventh Brother hunched over ready to fight or standing over his victims. The head is also a single hooded-shaped piece on a ball joint, and due to the design, it is more or less fixed in position, looking straight ahead. If you do turn the head, it tends to pop off the joint. That does mean that, ironically, the figure cannot achieve the pose seen on the artwork of the box where he is looking over his shoulder. The Eleventh Brother is arguably the best Inquisitor figure to date, looking menacing, mysterious, and intimidating - translating the animated style in which he has now featured in two properties to a real-world setting with a strong level of accuracy in terms of proportions and design. The decor is perfect, remaining dark and brooding while still creating variance between the greys and black with the odd red or white indicator which nods to Darth Vader’s own suit. The clawed hands are well made, and still have a gripping option, and the included lightsaber, while missing a holster option, is easy to fit in place and wield, with the blades arriving straight and true and looking good on display. The main problem with the figure lies in the head, which lacks movement, and when we consider how similar this principle of hood over a mask is to the Jedi Temple Guard, that one was executed much better. As a release, the Eleventh Brother ticks the box not only for Maul: Shadowlord but also for fans of Tales of the Jedi and his brief appearance fighting Ahsoka. As the Maul collection grows, the Eleventh Brother's presence will grow when we add Marrok to the display with him, and perhaps also a legion of TK Troopers if Hasbro ever gets around to these.

“Use your rage and unleash your potential.” Maul made his triumphant return to the Star Wars Universe in 2026 with a new animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord, continuing his story from The Clone Wars and bridging the gap until his brief cameo in Solo and his eventual final appearances in Star Wars: Rebels. A four-figure wave of Star Wars Black Series figures was unveiled for the first season, and these were shipped in July 2026. The wave features Maul himself along with Rook Kast, the Eleventh Brother Inquisitor, and Devon Izara. The Shadow Lord collection for the Galaxy Collection was assigned another red tone, a brighter version than that used on Andor and Attack of the Clones, but still very similar. The focus colour is applied over the black box in terms of the numbering and character details as well as on the side artwork. Maul is number 01 in the collection, kicking off the side montage with an image of the un-cloaked Maul stood side-on and brandishing his dual blade lightsaber. This connects onward to Rook Kast and the other Shadow Lord figures. The image is used again on the back of the box with a short piece of text that positions the premise of the show rather than the character, and this same text is used on all the Wave 1 figures. Inside the packaging, Maul is set against a red-hued backdrop that includes an embedded image of the underworld of Janix. Maul arrives wrapped in his hooded cape as seen in the first episode. In the box, this looks slightly flat and uninspiring, but in hand it is relatively well tailored with the hood sitting quite naturally. The cape is split from the neck downward so can cover the torso of Maul fully or be opened to the side or both sides, revealing more of the sculpted body beneath. It is removable, coming off easily over the head. Maul is presented in the same costume as we saw him at the end of The Clone Wars, with a black open tunic revealing his red and black tattooed chest below. This tunic is a rubber sleeve over the sculpted and fully painted torso. Each arm features a grey pauldron and brown sleeves that run to long-sleeved black gloves with a trio of sculpted straps, painted in silver. The belt piece and its attached skirt is another rubbery plastic sleeve and also represent where Maul's organic body finishes, and the cybernetic legs begin. The belt is wrapped in three silver coiled straps with subtle blue and gold markings added to the silver. From under the short tunic skirt, the legs are in the same brown as the sleeves with sculpted pockets, which then become the fully revealed robotic legs at the knees with a gunmetal silver finish and darker metallic inset panels to add contrast. Maul’s headsculpt is very much based on the Ray Park Phantom Menace appearance, rather than the thin and gaunt animated Maul from the show. This, as is the case with all animated characters, converts the figure from animation to a live-action setting. The face is printed with red markings over the black base, with Maul’s eyes picked out with their yellow irises. The horns are sculpted as part of the head and are then painted in bone white. vs the 2022 The Clone Wars Maul (right) This is the same base Maul figure as was released in 2022 as part of The Clone Wars Galaxy Collection. Apart from the addition of the soft goods cape, everything else remains sculpturally the same, while the paint tones are the same with minor variances such as a brighter red on the new figure and a brighter tone on the metal legs and bands around the waist. Maul comes with his lightsaber, the newer version where he has combined one half of his original dual saber with a second hilt to create the dual-wielded blade. These are the same as included in the 2022 release and cast in silver with painted detail such as black on the grip of the newer half and a red activation button on the original half. They connect by way of a plug and socket to create a single piece. The original hilt, or the fully combined hilt, is intended to be plugged into Maul’s belt for a holstering option. This is not ideal in terms of how it's engineered, with the saber quite awkward against the shape of Maul’s hips, and the plug being quite small and sitting too loose in the socket. The saber hilts fit into either hand, with sufficient articulation for dual-hand and dual-blade wields. The blades themselves are translucent red and slot into place to display Maul with sabers ignited and ready for battle. Articulation for Maul is 19 points in total, the standard for circa 2022 and inclusive of the thigh swivels, which have been phased out since. Maul also gets a rotation at the knee, which itself bends to just past 90 degrees. The ankle rockers have quite wide gaps in the ratchet, and that can make it tricky to get the feet positioned as flat to the floor, and I found Maul a little harder to position standing as you had to kind of ‘pause’ the ankle rocker partway between the two clicks of the internal ratchet. The upper body uses butterfly shoulders, which helps in fighting positions but also allows Maul to almost reach a folded arm position as seen in the show. The ball joint waist, disguised behind the belt, provides plenty of forward and backward lean. And the head is dual-jointed, which allows a lot of Maul’s mannerisms to be replicated in the figure, such as how he looks down and glares out at his foes, or how he tilts his head and stretches his neck before battle. It would be difficult for Hasbro to launch a new Galaxy Collection based on Maul: Shadow Lord without making Maul the launch figure in the number 01 slot. With no significant change in looks between The Clone Wars and Shadow Lord, I am not overly concerned with the re-use of the original 2022 figure, and I am happy with the addition of the soft goods cape, although treating us to a wired version would have super-charged this figure considerably when you see the visuals of Maul on screen with cape billowing out behind him. The paintwork on the new 2026 version is crisp and brighter than the original, while the accessories do the job apart from that belt holster option. Articulation is fine, with a range of options available that can vary between a Maul monologue with his hand rubbing his chin, to a dual-bladed attack with his twin sabers. It will now be interesting to see if Season 2 begins his transition of outfit to that we see in Solo and then finally in Rebels.
