All your favourite characters and creatures are being collectified as we speak, with the first being revealed at Comic-Con@Home, Unleashed!
It's finally happening and in good hands this time!

I hope they're 1:6 collectibles similar to their Dark Crystal series. I don't want Epics, props or posters.

I will believe it when I see it.

After the BS with Chronicle, I am hesitant.

Weta hopefully didn't hire anyone from Chronicle.

These are my thoughts too. If they do it, hopefully they go all in because I haven't seen much produced on Labyrinth in the past that I've been impressed with. It's all been mediocre effort. The Chronicle debacle really left a sour taste in my mouth.

Why do you say 'if' they do it? They've literally just announced it and said the first products will be shown during Comic Con at home.

As to the quality, a good indicator would be their Dark Crystal line which is brilliant, and of course in the early 2000's they done the line of muppet busts. The artists at Weta love Jim Henson and his creations.

I wouldn't compare Weta to Chronicle--totally different weight classes when it comes to companies even when Chronicle was at its height. Weta shouldn't have any problems churning out Labyrinth products.

Ok I misspoke, when they do it. All I'm saying is it will be nice to see Labyrinth done right for a change. We'll see.

Mini Epics

Jareth



Ludo


Sarah


There is also a 2-pack of Sarah and Ludo.


I went with the 2-pack because I prefer Sarah holding the worm and firey doll.

Not sure if this is going to hit the Labyrinth spot, but it is a good start.
I still hope someone eventually gets the rights to the Jareth on Throne 1/4 that Chronicle #$%&ed a lot of us over on.

Well, It's not a statue line like they did with Dark Crystal as I (we) were hoping it would be, but I'll take it. I pre-ordered also and went with the 2 pack Sarah and Ludo as well. Should they announce statues later on, because that's what I'm truly wanting, I may just cancel the minis.

They've given strong hints on Facebook there will be higher end statues. I just wish they teased something worth my time during the event. I've no interest in mini Epics.
