We got a tease of this when Tamashii announced the Darth Maul reissue last week, now Maul's speeder Bloodfin is up at Premium Bandai.
A Web-Exclusive release, Bloodfin costs 5184¥ and includes a display stand, a "Dark Eye" probe droid, two gripping hands for Maul as well as an alternate lower robe part. Bloodfin will be released in April 2018, pre-orders from your middlemen service of choice should be up soon. @Topic: I think this is neat but they kinda missed the opportunity to include Maul's robe with the hood. Because I wouldn't really display my Maul riding Bloodfin without it and it would complement the figure rather well. As is this speeder is just a nice display piece to me but that's about it. S.H.Figuarts Bloodfin |

They posted this up quicker than I expected. I agree, including a robe would have been a great way to complete the display.

I agree, not being able to replicate the scenes from Menace where Maul actually rides this is a bit of a let down. We only ever see him ride this fully robed up, an alternate hooded head could have been included. But, for just under $50 it's an excellent price point for how nice it looks so I may just have to grab it anyways.

It's pretty exciting just because it shows basically that they're going to probably release almost everything they've shown at shows. Doubt every clone trooper and battle droid will but looking to Grevious and even the super battle droid. |

This'll be an easy buy. Though never had to get a web exclusive before. Just hope they don't sell out immediately.

They don't sell out. They basically will take in as many orders as they can until a certain date and produce to order. Sites like Nippon-Yasan will keep their preorders open for almost as long as Bandai does, Anime-Export however puts an order stop after about a month to cut it off.

Yeah I have to say I actually expected it to be a lot higher. I'll definitely pick it up; I agree it'd be better w/ the robes, but I'm still fairly shocked we're getting it after it disappeared from shows for a while.

Also to echo a cloak option would have been nice. Even a poseable cloth one, though that might be the best option. |

YES! Will absolutely buy this.
The robe inclusion doesn't really bother me, as there are great 3rd party options, and I won't be displaying the Bloodfin with my Figuarts figure anyway. My setup will look like this, with my shirtless custom - |
