NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid Staction Figures

Meh. My ex would go crazy for these...

Be great if they did Sarah, Hoggle and a few more from Labyrinth... Would buy each and every one of them!

While the Jareth figure they show looks pretty much what I would expect a McToys figure to look like, the Dark Crystal figs look pretty dope. Any info on scale and articulation?

will it have articulation?

Did you guys not read the part that said "7 inch fully articulated'? These will be on my want list...

I'm pretty sure they said the Color Tops line would be "fully articulated" too. They claimed each figure would sport around 15 points of articulation but so far the majority of those 15 points have been useless "hey we said 15" joints. They could have listened to the complaints regarding useless articulation but until then I'm assuming more staction figures are incoming. Honestly I'm okay with that but it is lame that they keep promoting their figures as highly articulated when you can't actually work with them.

I was excited and then I saw McFarlane...anddd it's gone.

Yeah, McFarlane. I'm not excited by that.

But there is also part that says McFarlane........

It says the Labyrinth ones are, it's not clear from the text what's up with the Dark Crystal figs. Is that an actual pic of the figures??

From the article itself "The upcoming toys will include a 7-inch figure of Labyrinth’s Jareth The Goblin King, and for The Dark Crystal, fans can look forward to figures of Jen and Kira. Each figure will be highly detailed and come fully articulated to recreate infamous movie scenes. These figures will also debut in new window box collector packaging and will come with Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal branded detailed bases."
And the pic looks like it's from the movie or some other source so I'm assuming not the actual toy...

That can be read as two separate things--7" Goblin King and Dark Crystal figures of unspecified size and quality.
