Dark Crystal Question

[Rynn]

I have looked all over the web for this, but can't find the answer. Does anyone know where Jen and Kira, the puppets, are now? In a museum? At the headquarters? I'm just curious. This was the first movie I have ever seen, I was 6 or 7 when it was released, and have always wondered what they did with the puppets afterwards. I do have a email address to ask, but seeing as how it's not really for fans to use, and the one for fans never actually appears on henson.com, I might have to break down and use it.

Don't know where they are NOW, but they were on exhibitions about 10 years ago. It was Jen, Kira with Fizzgig, a part of Jen's cloth, a hand of a Mystic, plus Sir Dydimus with Ambrosius (from LABYRINTH).
Was great to see them!

Thanks, I never knew that. likely it might have happened down in Atlanta or up in Charlotte or even further away. I'd like to have seen them.

I did use the email address and got a nice reply! Here's what the company wrote:

Dear Michelle,

As is the case with many of the Dark Crystal props & characters, Jen & Kira are preserved and stored in the New York storage facility of the Jim Henson Company archives.

Thanks for writing and for your interest.

Regards . . . The Jim Henson Company

So now we know! ^_^

Great to know Rynn (from DRAKAN?) !

Do we plan a robbery now? LOL!

Hey, count me in on the action. If anything I claim Fizzgig. I have door crowbars to rip open the doors. Hey Lazlo, can you distract the guards by making a sculpture?

I saw Aughra and a Garthim on display once. Didn't see Jen and Kira, though.

I got to see one of the mystics in Atlanta. The foam rubber was starting to rot off his hand. The also had "fish-face" the goblin from Labyrinth. I've looked for him in the movie but never did spot him.

*smiles* You can mesmerize them with your talent and once I'm doing taking everything, we'll give them a statue to commerate the robbery. They'll never know what hit them either, we'll use the statue to knock 'em out too.
