Introducing our new
collection Star Wars Mythos
“The Star Wars Universe is limitless with possibilities, its
mythology ever-expanding. Our art team wanted to contribute to that
expansion by telling new stories about some of the most compelling
Star Wars characters. With the encouragement of Lucasfilm, we
created the Mythos line of statues.
This line of collectibles will be populated by characters from new
and existing story lines. We will bring history, unique details and
personal choices to each in order to elaborate on who they are.
Through the design and sculpt process our goal is to delve deeper
into these established characters and offer our own interpretations
of what they have done outside of the Star Wars canon.
Our art team is taking the themes and core concepts common to the
Star Wars mythology, such as love, honor, hope, despair and
adventure, and accentuating those themes to achieve a collection of
figures unlike any we’ve previously offered. Our vision is to
portray moments in the imagined lifetimes of these characters and
reveal them in a new way, in a new light. We hope to capture the
imagination of Star Wars fans all over the world, and share with
them our own adventures in that galaxy far, far away.”

Darth Maul Mythos
Statue
With the Mythos Darth Maul figure, we are paying homage to a story
from the Star Wars Tales comic titled “Nameless.” In it, Maul is
tasked to track down and assassinate a legendary Jedi with
technique so pure he wields only a wooden club. After being once
defeated, Maul fabricates his signature dual lightsaber, inspired
by Sith schematics and weapons of his native people. We have
envisioned him in a strong, almost meditative martial artist pose.
He is dressed in loose garments not unlike that of a Ronin samurai,
with one sleeve off and fabric draped to expose tattoos on his
upper body. He stands with both arms extended, one clutching his
victorious new weapon at his side, and the other out in a Force
push.
