I the idea of the Inquisitors more than I actually like them.  But aside from the helicopter lightsabers, they’re not too bad.  I particularly enjoyed the ones that were in the Jedi video games, like Second Sister and Ninth Sister, as well as the live action version of Fifth Brother.  But for whatever reason, I’ve become somewhat obsessed with completing this crew.  They’re nicely numbered, and easily identifiable…mostly.  There are a few weird discrepancies and contradictions within canon sources, which is amazing that even today, with all the attention placed on detail and a crew of official “keepers” of the canon within LFL, they still can’t get it right.  While I don’t think there’s specifically a set number of members of the Inquisitorius, for whatever reason, I feel that twelve shalt be the number.  No more. No less. Twelve shalt be the number of Inquisitors thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be twelve. Thirteen shalt thou not count, nor either count thou eleven, excepting that thou then proceed to twelve. Fourteen is right out. But of course, LFL being what it is, there are problems.  There’s apparently mention of a Third Brother, but it came to nothing.  There’s no Twelfth person, but there is a Thirteenth Sister, as well as a handful of unnumbered members - such as Barris Offee.  Nevertheless, I find myself wanting all of the numbered Inquisitors, and that’s it.  And Barriss.  That’s all I need.  And also the other unnumbered members.  But that’s all of them.  Except maybe the prospective members who didn’t make the cut.  But that’s where I draw the line.  So we’ve got the Grand dude, and 3 of 12 numbered (1 through 13, except 12) members.  Based on things like Rogue One crew, the skiffs, etc., I can calculate that it would take until the year 2525, if man is still alive, to make the rest of the Inquisitors. 

Maul: Shadow Lord gave Hasbro an excuse to give us a couple of Inquisitors that had already made appearances on screen:  Eleventh Brother in animated form, and Marrok in Ahsoka.  Of course, they’ve had plenty of opportunities before then, with Rebels and the video games, in addition to Ahsoka and more animated shows. 

Marrok was mocked for his appearance on Ahsoka.  More accurately, it was his disappearance that made him a bit of a joke.  He’s been called everything from a Green Fart Cloud to The New York Jets.  But still, his armor was kind of cool and menacing, and viewers were simply hoping for something more. 

The figure is quite excellent.  He looks like knight from Game of Thrones or something.  Hasbro dutifully recreated his look very well. The armor is well sculpted, painted in a shiny gray/black, and has some paint apps on the armor that give it a look of depth and wear - and it’s pretty great.  The figure, as expected, has full Jedi Level articulation.  I would say that I was a bit surprised to find that the joints were noticeably looser on Marrok than on other figures.  On the one hand, it makes engaging the joints easier, but on the other hand, sometimes certain poses didn’t hold because the joint would slide.  I managed to get the one shot of him running, balanced on one foot (image 17), but it was extremely difficult to get him to stay upright because he kept rolling his ankle.  Conversely, his head doesn’t have a lot of range of motion at the neck.

For accessories, he comes with his Inquisitor hilt, which is sculpted “folded” in a semi-circle.  There is a peg on the hilt that fits into a small hole in his upper back.  In my sample, the connection was a bit loose, so the hilt kept falling out.  The ignited double lightsaber has the full circle hilt.  I’m not sure if there are moments where he carries an unlit, full circle hilt, but there’s no way to recreate such a moment with this figure.

He’s got a nice soft goods cape, with a single line of stitching at the shoulder.  At first, I thought this was meant to accommodate the semicircular hilt when stowed on Marrok’s cape, but it’s actually meant to be a one-shoulder cape.  It works well - although I may have photographed him with the cape on the wrong shoulder.  I haven’t watched Maul yet, so I don’t know if this matters.  I don’t even remember him with a cape in Ahoska.  Also, I don’t remember why I walked into this room in the first place.  Oh yeah, I was doing this review.

As I mentioned in my last review, I’m over the “single plane wrist hinge.”  It’s not Marrok’s fault, and I won’t deduct any points, but I’m going to mention this until I’m blue in the face.  I’ll make this its own paragraph, so that when Chris Cocks, Bob Iger, and Dave Filoni are having a meeting over one of their lunch meetings, they will read it and make the necessary changes.

Really nice figure.  Loose joints, weak peg connection for the hilt, and minimal neck range of motion prevent it from being perfect.  9/10.
