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.

We’ve received a Press Release from McFarlane Toys. They are teaming up with The Jim Henson Company for figures based on The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.  Check out the details below:

THE JIM HENSON COMPANY TAPS MCFARLANE TOYS TO PRODUCE FIGURES FROM CLASSIC FILMS LABYRINTH AND THE DARK CRYSTAL

Tempe, AZ and Hollywood, CA – May 19, 2017 –The Jim Henson Company has partnered with McFarlane Toys, which will harken back to its roots of “Movie Maniacs” to create figures of classic characters from two of Henson’s most well-known features Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.

Directed by visionary Jim Henson and executive produced by George Lucas, Labyrinth is a fanboy favorite and wonder of puppetry. Stuck babysitting her brother, teenager Sarah, resentfully wishes The Goblin King (memorably portrayed by David Bowie) can take him away. When her wish comes true, Sarah must head into the Labyrinth herself to save him. Since its 1986 release the film has garnered a cult popularity and is still reveled in today’s era as a timeless classic.

The Dark Crystal, directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, brilliantly weaves a timeless myth of good and evil. In another time, The Dark Crystal, a source of balance and truth in the universe, was broken, dividing the world into two factions; the wicked Skeksis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the crystal must be healed, or darkness will reign forever. The Dark Crystal’s fanbase has only risen since the film’s debut and has also developed a cult following of fans across the world.

McFarlane Toys has produced highly detailed figures and construction sets for various entertainment properties and this collaboration with The Jim Henson Company will give fans of these iconic films new and unique action figures that are “true to life” replicas of their on-screen personas.

The upcoming toys will include a 7-inch figure of Labyrinth’s Jareth The Goblin King, and for The Dark Crystal, fans can look forward to figures of Jen and Kira. Each figure will be highly detailed and come fully articulated to recreate infamous movie scenes. These figures will also debut in new window box collector packaging and will come with Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal branded detailed bases.

“Fans of both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal continue to grow, while both brands also enjoy the passionate and loyal support of committed followers for decades,” said Vice President of Global Consumer Products for The Jim Henson Company, Federico San Martin.  “We are looking forward to McFarlane toys introducing the characters that defined these classic adventures to our legions of fans around the world.”

“Jim Henson was one of the most visually creative minds, and these incredible movies are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Todd McFarlane, Owner and CEO of McFarlane Toys. “We pride ourselves on our creativity and attention to detail, and to be able to make figures of these iconic characters is something pretty special.”

McFarlane Toys’ Labyrinth Jareth The Goblin King figure will be available at major retailers this November carrying an MSRP: $19.99 (and now available for pre-order, HERE).  The Dark Crystal Jen and Kira figures are slated to release Spring 2018.  For more information about The Jim Henson Company visit www.henson.com.
