At the McFarlane Toys Booth for Toy Fair 2017, we had gotten our first look at an all-new Labyrinth Jareth: The Goblin King 7″ Scale Figure coming to McFarlane’s Color Tops Collection. Last month, we got our first official photo for the upcoming 7″ scale figure. McFarlane Toys has now released a dozen new photos of the upcoming figure. The new photos show off the impressive likeness to the late David Bowie, as well as some of the accessories and articulation the figure will offer.
A mystical figure possessing powers of transformation, Jareth, is the Goblin King of the Labyrinth. With an ability to create crystal orbs within his hands, Jareth is able to use them to create various illusions to entrance and manipulate others. Despite ruling over the Goblins, Jareth resents this position and often dreams of a different life.
- Detailed 7-inch scale collectible Jareth action figure depicted in his velvet tailcoat from the iconic Ballroom dream sequence
- Figure includes masquerade mask, and crystal orb accessories
- Designed with 12+ points of articulation for dynamic posing
- Figure features a stylized Labyrinth branded display base and showcased in window box packaging
The Labyrinth Jareth: The Goblin King Figure is scheduled to hit stores this October. the figure will be priced at $19.99. Click the thumbnail image for a better look at the figure.
New Preview for Labyrinth Jareth: The Goblin King Figure by McFarlane
Hell yah. I hope we get jennifer connelly too.
I like the tooling, the details great. And I like some of the license they're getting but these are glorified statues. I really wish Mcfarlane was doing leg articulation and more accessories and things. I feel like this is a big step backwards for them. Was super excited to see them get the Destiny license but I don't really want a statue. Figures they made 20 years ago had more articulation. But for those who like these they must be pretty excited. Wonder if their Walking Dead "figures" are selling well, I stopped getting them after they switched to this scale/style.
But the fact that Jareth is in his masquerade garb, means that if we do get a Sarah, we'd get the masquerade Sarah in the dress, I much prefer the "regular" Sarah.
Doesn't matter, as long as the headsculpt looks like Jennifer Connelly, that's the most important!
He looks better than I thought he would. I'll get him for sure.
All that said, I'll definitely pick this figure up. I missed the NECA one several years back and I think I can learn to like the pose for this statue.
I don't see how he can possibly set the industry back. It is so very, very unlikely that any other company is going to follow suit. If he wants to aim more towards aesthetics, I say more power to him. I don't need my figures to be able to auto-fellate.
Where's the bulge?

Those thigh cuts are not supposed to add any useful articulation, are they? Looks almost as if they threw that in simply to justify the name "action figure".

looking forward to picking this one up
glad there is an alternative to the neca jareth coming which has steep online prices
I think McFarlane wanted everyone to know that he can't really hold the mask to his face, the articulation on his arms won't allow that.
Shartimus is Hasbro's pawn, in general most bigger known toy reviewers are bought by one toy company or more (e.g.Pixel Dan).
Is it just me, or does there look like some trickery going on when Jareth is holding the mask to his face? As in, you won't really be able to pose him in that position, but they made the pictures look like you can. The first one (close up) looks like they used perspective to make make it look like the mask is up against his face. The second looks like photoshop.
A Hot Toys Jareth and Hoggle would be glorious lol.
