7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator: First review

This set, evolution of the versions already released in 1999 (7151 Sith Infiltrator) and in 2007 (7663 Sith Infiltrator), consists of 479 pieces and 4 minifigs: Darth Maul, Captain Panaka, Padme Amidala & Qui-Gon Jinn.

Note the presence of stickers and two instruction booklets. Regarding the ship, nothing very exciting. Little playability, a nice design but no frills and it is still Darth Maul's speeder that I find the most successful ...

Minifigs are much more interesting. Darth Maul sports a "crown" of thorns and retains its ominous look. A hood is also provided with this minifigure.
Qui Gon Jinn is equal to himself with his look of .... bearded and haired Qui-Gon Jinn.
Padme Amidala is she a little disappointing: her silly eyes and coarse hair deserved better. Natalie Portman must be annoyed to see herself thus reduced to a minifigure dating from the 80s decked out in false eyelashes and a "brown" lipstick.
Captain panaka, despite its very "cartoon" side is the one that I like the most in this set. The colors of his outfit and his cap are homogeneous.
