Darth Nihl
Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire
"We will disperse into the galaxy in small numbers, masking ourselves, hiding amidst the enemy. We will infiltrate governments on every planet. All must be brought down for something new to be created. Together or alone, we will slip onto worlds and strike from the shadows. We will be invisible. We will be patient. All that exists will be torn apart from within. Darth Krayt's vision of the galaxy remade will be realized. He lives in us. The Sith will prevail."

Darth Nihl was a Nagai male Sith Lord serving in Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire during the Sith–Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War. A former Nagai warlord, Nihl had been recruited into the One Sith by Darth Krayt, and was initially made into his Fist, or military leader. However, this changed when Krayt's Hand, or enforcer, died, and Nihl was promoted to the position in 130 ABY as a result. One of Nihl's first missions was leading the assault on the Jedi Praxeum at Ossus, in which he killed Jedi Master Kol Skywalker and mortally wounded the Zabrak Master Wolf Sazen. Nihl returned to Coruscant and participated in Krayt's ascension to Galactic Emperor, in which the former Emperor of the Fel Empire, Roan Fel, was thought to be slain, although he actually survived.

Story:
After I had bought some custom fodder from this seller on ebay, I kept an eye on his following auctions. I estimate he sold about 1,500 figures in the bay and this custom figure was one of them. It came with 4 other figures and a couple accessories. The winning bid was at 43€ so I paid less than 9 bucks for this amazing custom. My maximum bid was more than double of that because I really wanted to have this incredible figure in my collection. Luckily for me, people don't want to spend so much on customs here in Germany. Bids reach much higher amounts in the U.S. - and that's good for all creative fans out there! Hasbro's release of Darth Nihl goes for well over 100€ here in Germany by now. And I wish I had bought the 4 Comic Packs back then when they were on sale at Entertainment Earth for $69.99 (see image below)...these Comic Packs are some of the rarest & most expensive today with Jarael, Deliah Blue and the two Mandos...anyhew what I absolutely admire about this custom is the thin fabrics used for the costume. Also the details on his skin are applied very professionally. I suppose it's a PU or pleather material - very thin with a nice texture to it. I'm happy and proud to have a very special version of Darth Nihl in my collection, now. Thank you, Thomas. Your talent is very impressive and inspiring!
