Plan B Toys unveils resin Labyrinth statues at Toy Fair.

[modernwizard]

Look at what I just dug up on figures.com! Plan B Toys [Web site here, but has nothing to do with their Laby line] is showing off its upcoming Laby collectibles at this year's Toy Fair in New York City. It's mostly goblins, but there's an "entrance scene" Jareth and a ballroom Jareth figure. I suppose they count as "busts," since they don't display the full body. They each appear to be about 1:6, using the same headsculpt, but different bodysculpts. "Entrance scene" Jareth is below:



These protos impress me much more than Palisades Toys' vinyl 1:6 Jareth. While Palisades' Goblin King may be poseable, Plan B's resin product holds much finer detail than vinyl, allowing them to get the finer nuances of Jareth's likeness [look -- they even got the smirk and the crooked teeth!] and costume [note the ballroom outfit frills]. Plan B even approximated Jareth's hair well! EDIT: I take that back. The hair looks like geometrical spaghetti.

See the goblins and other views of the Jareths in figures.com's Plan B Toy Fair 2006 photo gallery.

Now I have to find out when these will be released...

The hair -- not so much But the rest of the figure is spot-on!!

Buy the figure, take off the hair, and make a spikey fur-wig?

. . . actually, now I'm tempted >_>

They DID get his teeth right, this fills me with joy!! :D

Yepper. I'd be tempted to give him a bit of touch up in the face paint department, but with the resin hair sanded off and a sig made in it's place, I think it could be to die for.
