FEATURES:
1:6 scale;
Limited Edition of 500;

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.
