Darth Malgus Dominates Sideshow

Darth Malgus may not be the ultimate villain of Star Wars: The Old Republic. He may not even be that recognizable to certain players depending on the choices they made and the characters they encountered during the course of the game. But given Malgus' resemblance to fan-favorite Darths like Vader and Malak, he is seen as the most marketable character in The Old Republic's cast.

So it's no surprise that we've already seen a number of action figures and statues depicting this ancient Dark Lord of the Sith, including a mini-statue from Gentle Giant that was included with the Collector's Edition version of the game. These collectibles range wildly in size, from the diminutive Lego figurine to Sideshow's impressively large (and impressively costly) life-size statue. But assuming your Star Wars obsession doesn't justify paying the price of a decent used car, Sideshow has another option in the works. This week they debuted new pictures and details about the Darth Malgus Premium Format Figure.

Premium Format Figures are large statues designed at 1:4 scale. The mixed media approach combines polystone bodies with real fabric clothing.

Malgus measures about 20-inches tall. He's priced at $374.99 on Sideshow's website for an expected March 2013 release. The statue will be released in both a standard version and a Sideshow-exclusive version with the alternate, unmasked head seen in some of these images.
