Weta Releases Two More Dark Crystal Statues!

Weta recently announced plans not only to release two more citizens of Thra, but to further expand their Dark CrystalAge of Resistance line of statues to include the original film as well. 


The two latest releases are favorites that Dark Crystal fans have been waiting for. 

First is a open edition of Kira and Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal. 



FEATURES:
1:6 scale;
Portrays the last of the Gelfling, the Podling-raised heroine from The Dark Crystal (1982);
Clay sculpted by Jane Wenley using photographs of the original puppet as reference;
Translucent wings;
Clutching her loyal Fizzgig;
Base brimming with unique flora and fauna;
High-quality polystone.


Next is a limited edition Skeksil The Chamberlain Skeksis who schemed his way through both the original Dark Crystal and the Age of Resistance series. 



FEATURES:
1:6 scale;
Limited Edition of 500;
Pays tribute to the master of schemes and right hand of the Emperor;
Rich & intricate costume with multiple sculpted fabrics;
Includes skekSil’s staff depicting the Skeksis symbol of aggression atop the Three Suns of Thra, proof of Skeksis domination over all;
Developed from digital scans of the original puppet seen on screen;
High-quality polystone.


Each figure in the line has a special base design. 
The three different sized circular bases across the 1:6 scale Dark Crystal range represent the Three Suns in the skies of Thra; the dying sun, rose sun, and great sun. Familiar iconography from the floor of the Crystal Chamber are featured around the outside. Spy the symbols of the urSkek, which have since been appropriated as signs of discord and Skeksis aggression.
