It was ostensibly a live-action movie, although no human actors ever appear onscreen (at least not without being fully unrecognizable), and there are no human characters in the film.Įvery character in the film is represented through puppetry, or someone in a full body suit, or some combination of the two. Jen and Kira, the world's last two Gelflings, must now journey together to replace the Crystal's missing shard in order to fulfill the ancient prophecy and restore harmony to their world. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the Crystal must be restored, or the evil Skeksis will rule the world forever. Long ago, the Crystal, the very source of balance and truth in the Universe, was shattered. 1982's The Dark Crystal is a classic tale of good against evil - Mystics against Skeksis. Jim Henson's first all-creature feature film. This is another one of those times when NECA seems to be looking personally into my own childhood to find out what toys I'd like them to make. This figure was previewed some time ago, and then suddenly appeared on comicstore shelves Such is the case with their second foray into the Jim Henson universe, SkekSil the Chamberlain from The Dark Crystal. Some figures are released with lots of online promotion and magazine previews, while others are dumped to retail with almost no fanfare. NECA lately also has a funny way of releasing product.
They've also managed to get certain fan-favorite figures made when other toy companies (ahem*McFarlane*ahem) had long said they were impossible to produce (see: Hannibal Lecter and Pinhead). It seems like NECA has done this a lot in terms of my "dream" toy lines, making figures from beloved properties like Gremlins and Jim Henson's Labyrinth. And then, sometimes, someone just up and makes them. There are figures you just think they're never going to make, even though you've wanted them for what seems like forever.
