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.

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.

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.

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.

Good point Dukefett, makes me wonder if the Old Ben pics we've seen displayed next to portions of the Falcon, if they'll ever release a Falcon cockpit or ramp. Maybe the bloodfin and Maul won't be 100% movie accurate, but it's still gonna look bad ass on display. I love Star Wars characters but I love the vehicles as well, love the Bandai Model kits, this bloddfin sith speeder has a great sculpt and detail, would love to get a model kit of this as well. I hope they do another Speederbike, and include an Endor poncho and helmeted Luke head, so for those of us with the Jedi Luke figuarts, could do like what we're getting with this bloodfin for those of us who have Maul. I guess I just want more figuarts vehicles like this.

Well that's a relief.

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

[Zorn88]

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 -

I didn't even know there was a Marvel comics Darth Maul miniseries. The paperback is out in a few weeks, guess I'll grab that!

^ It's a really fun read, I highly recommend it.
