Dance Magic Jareth 023

Labyrinth, the 1986 fantasy film from the mind of Jim Henson mixed puppetry, fantasy, and music to create an astounding and timeless experience. The film featured a very young Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, a teenager who wants nothing more than to escape her modern life for fantasy world. Asked to babysit her baby brother, Sarah makes a fleeting wish to The Goblin King to take her brother away. When Jareth The Goblin King, played by the late David Bowie, shows up to fulfill her wish, Sarah is forced to take on an impossible Labyrinth to rescue her young brother. Along the way, Sarah meets various inhabitants of the Labyrinth who all help in guiding her to the center to face Jareth and find out who she truly wants to be. The film is one of my all-time personal favorites. The music by David Bowie and Trevor Jones is as memorable as the assorted Jim Henson Studio creations.

The new Dance Magic Jareth The Goblin King 7″ Scale Figure is the second Labyrinth release by McFarlane Toys. In late 2017, they released their first Jareth 7″ Scale Figure. As the name implies, the figure represent Jareth’s appearance during the iconic “Magic Dance” sequence. The figure includes a whip, a miniature Goblin, and a figure stand. We picked up the figure from Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. After the jump, you can check out my thoughts on the figure, as well as a full photo gallery.

In 1986, Jim Henson and George Lucas released an outstanding film that has become an absolute classic. In Labyrinth, we follow teenager Sarah (future superstar Jennifer Connelly), as she fights her way through a massive maze to rescue her baby brother from Jareth The Goblin King (the legendary David Bowie). Along the way, she befriends numerous creatures and inhabitants of the realm, each playing a role in helping her to reach the center of the Labyrinth to face the Goblin King. The film has been a long time favorite of mine, with stunning puppetry, costumes and sets by The Jim Henson Company. It’s a wonderful (if at times a bit creepy) tale, with an outstanding performance, both acting wise and musically, from David Bowie.

McFarlane Toys has released their first figure based on the iconic film. The new figure is based on Jareth’s appearance during the Masquerade Ball scene from the film. This is not the first time figures based on the film were produced. In 2007 – 2008, NECA produced two 7″ scale figures based on Jareth, as well as a 12″ scale version. The new one from McFarlane is part of their Color Tops Collection of 7″ scale figures. They have sent along the figure for us to check out. Read on for my thoughts and a full photo shoot.
