Some sculpture inventories are available in Dan and Jenn Boger's Peeron
Database
http://www.peeron.com/inv/theme/LEGO_Sculptures
and in particular you can find the Mini Figure's inventory at
http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/3723?withpics=yes
(wow; a source of 2x8 blue bricks to put the Moon Landing to shame. . .)
I don't know about the Darth Maul bust, but it sure would be nice if someone
did an inventory :-)
