Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's great to finally have some of the Sith Lords from the Expanded Universe. I got this set particularly for Darth Bane, who has become one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever after reading Drew Karpyshyn's Path of Destruction. KOTOR II fans will also want to get Darth Nihilus.
The Darth Bane accessories are probably not technically accurate according to Path of Destruction, which describes Bane's robes as black. Also, Bane's lightsaber is clearly red and is frequently described as having a hook, like Dooku's. But I like them anyway. Hasbro did a nice job of giving Bane a purple color scheme, with subtle purple highlights on the cape. Also, his lightsaber is amethyst, like Mace Windu's. The overall effect is to give Bane a somewhat more exotic yet royal look, which complements the otherwise ridiculous-looking orbalisks. I have seen some fans repaint this figure black and give him a red lightsaber, but then Bane looks like just another Dark Jedi. This is one case where Hasbro's "mistake" made for a visually more interesting figure. I only wish they had taken more care with the orbalisks. They are a see-through yellowish plastic, which isn't horrible but almost look a bit too bright. Also, when you take the orbalisks off Bane's chest, there's not much underneath - indeed, he looks like he shed 100 pounds.
I haven't played KOTOR II, so I can't comment too much on Darth Nihilus. He LOOKS like a Sith, with the creepy skull helmet. The tattered cloth cape has a great effect, flowing behind him. In fact, this is one of the few figures I wish had entirely cape clothing because I think it would have given the figure a real sense of formlessness. As it stands, this figure is great. However, my understanding was that Nihilus was like a vacuum of Dark energy. This figure has dreadlocks under the hood, which seems to imply that there was a man behind the mask. I didn't like that touch.
And the Darth Maul figure... Do we really need another one? This one's pretty good, but with so many other great Sith Lords out there, it's a shame the third figure in the set is Maul. Oh well.
