So far from Toy Fair '08, the only good news on the Dark Crystal front is NECA annoucing a Skeksis the Chamberlain figure:

http://www.figures.com/databases/ac...actionfigures&topic=155&show_article=458&nl=1

"On the horizon, figures in the works include a variant Beetlejuice with circus head and arms, a second Beetlejuice in red tux, Chamberlain the Skesis from Dark Crystal, and a possible 18” Beetlejuice with sound."

:scary: :scary: :scary:

Finally someone is making Dark Crystal figures instead of busts, statues or over-priced vinyl conceptual art masquerading as a figure of the Dark Crystal motion picture. I like Neca’s treatment of the Labyrinth property more than what I’ve seen of MINDstyle’s work with Dark Crystal and the current stiff-looking Doozer model they’re exhibiting at Toy Fare this year. His hands are open and to his side – not very doozer-like behavior to just be standing around without any tools. Maybe it’s just a work in progress. I can’t help but think that MINDstyle just doesn’t get the Henson fan market at all. :scary:

Ooooh, and Neca’s Hoggle is out there too! I’m hoping for some goblins, Ludo and some Fireys. They get first dibs on my fan dollar. Yes, even before Fraggles. I love them so, but I am waiting to see about the quality and hassle of the figures. I have a feeling when the motion picture finally comes out there will be more affordable and up-front (not blind boxed) Fraggle figures on the market. :excited:

Anyway, go Neca Skeksis! They really are one of my favorite Henson puppet designs. The fact that the other company didn’t start with them I will never know. :smirk:

Thanks for the report.

It is awesome news that neca will be making the chamberlain. Skeksis are definitely my favorite henson creature, although a garthim figure would be pretty darn neat. If Skeksil is scultped half as well as hoggle we will be getting one rad figure.

I just finished my Skeksis Statue about 2 weeks ago.
Strange coincidence...

Maybe you should send them yours and get paid for it! NECA makes some attractive stuff, but I can't imagine their Skeksis being any more beautiful than yours. Um...I hope it doesn't seem like I'm flirting with your Skeksis. He is rather pretty, though. :scary:
