The dark side hungers once more. Hot Toys has officially announced a haunting new addition to their ever-expanding Star Wars line: a 1/6 scale Darth Nihilus figure, inspired by the iconic Sith Lord from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords.
Standing 12.2 inches tall and steeped in the raw energy of the dark side, this new collectible brings one of the most terrifying figures from Star Wars Legends into stunning physical form. Known as the “Lord of Hunger,” Darth Nihilus is infamous for his ability to consume the Force energy of entire planets, a fate he shared with countless victims across the galaxy. And now, he’s poised to take a place of honor—or dread—on collectors’ shelves.
Hot Toys has gone all-in on the details for this release. The figure boasts a newly developed masked head sculpt that perfectly mirrors Nihilus’ eerie presence in KOTOR II. A finely tailored, flowing black robe brings his spectral silhouette to life, while his signature red lightsaber comes with light-up features for added drama. For those seeking dynamic display options, the figure also includes swappable hands and red Force lightning effects—ideal for recreating the Sith Lord’s most devastating powers.
Darth Nihilus isn’t just visually iconic; he’s one of the most compelling villains in the Star Wars universe. Once a mere human, the trauma he endured during the Mandalorian Wars shattered his spirit and left him a hollow shell of hatred and hunger. Transformed into a being of pure dark side energy, Nihilus lost his identity, his voice, and even his need for a physical form. What remained was a mask, a robe, and an insatiable need to devour.
His story, though relegated to the Legends canon, still resonates with fans today. As part of the fearsome Sith Triumvirate alongside Darth Sion and Darth Traya, Nihilus embodied the unrelenting and destructive potential of the dark side. It’s no wonder that nearly two decades after his video game debut, he remains one of the most requested characters in collectible form.
The Darth Nihilus 1/6 scale figure is now available for pre-order exclusively through Sideshow Collectibles, priced at $265. Collectors can expect this dark force to arrive in September 2026.
For fans of Knights of the Old Republic, Sith mythology, or just great villain design, this figure is more than just a collectible—it’s a statement piece. The dark side never looked so good… or so hungry.
