| Description: | Weta Workshop is thrilled to be exploring another world from the mind of Jim Henson, this time bringing you high-quality collectibles from the iconic 1986 film Labyrinth.It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new collectible piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work. A careless wish sees a young girl's baby brother taken away by the mystical Goblin King. With just 13 hours on the clock, sixteen-year-old Sarah must solve, navigate, and survive the many trials and riddles of the mysterious Labyrinth. The endless walls of the Labyrinth continue on for what seem like an eternity.Though the infinite depths may seem quite lifeless at first glance, things are not always what they seem, for many a quaint and curious creature can be found within those stony walls. The mysterious denizens of Labyrinth come in all shapes and sizes, and each is just as likely to help as they are to hinder. As Sarah collapses from exhaustion whilst seeking an entrance to the maze, a small but cheery voice calls out to her, «Ello.» A single worm, small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand, with three tufts of dark blue hair rests near a small hole in the Labyrinth's walls. After offering a moment of brief respite to our young heroine and a promise of hospitality that is rarely shared among strangers, this inconspicuous creature reveals one of the Labyrinth's many hidden secrets, opening Sarah's eyes to the first of many illusions to come.
