More Toys of the Labyrinth

We had so much fun with the review of the Labyrinth Hanging Goblin that we did back in July, and got such a great response from readers, that we realised just how popular Jim Henson’s movie still is, more than twenty years later. It is with this in mind that we decided to look at what other Labyrinth toys are out there.

Hangable Plush Door Knocker

We weren’t able to look at this one in person, so we’re a little confused how it could be a plush door knocker (it looked more like brass in the film) but there’s no denying that it looks exactly how we remember it from the movie. This is supposed to be part one of a two part series. If you remember in the movie, there were two knockers, one with the ring in his ears, like the plush toy pictured, and can’t hear anything, and the other has the knocker in his mouth. No word yet as to when the second one will be released, but if any of you readers happen to know when that will be, please visit our Who is IGP page and place a comment, so we can update this!

Jareth and Hoggle Boxed Set

I fool around with polymer clay, and one of the main reasons I started that was because I always wanted my very own Hoggle. It took twenty years for a Hoggle figure to be released, but this boxed set produced by NECA more than makes up for it. This reproduction of both Hoggle and Jareth is just about perfect. The likenesses are spot on, and, well, think about how many great Jareth/Hoggle scenes you can recreate with these two figures!

Plush Sir Didymus

Sadly, I’m not as impressed by the plush Sir Didymus. While it’s obvious which character he’s supposed to be, he just doesn’t seem to have enough detail to him. I’d like to see another Sir Didymus released. Maybe a figure of Sir Diddymus like the one shown on camera in Sarah’s bedroom before she enters the Labyrinth or even a figure of him riding his mighty steed, Ambrosias. A Sir Didymus puppet would be interesting too! Given that the plush Sir Didymus has sold out in most places besides eBay, perhaps we'll actually get to see a newer, better version released soon.

Plush Talking Ludo

This is another toy that we haven’t been able to look at (sources say that it won’t be available in the US until around October) but I do like pictures I’ve seen of this one. The texture of the fur looks just like Ludo’s fur. I would have liked to have seen a bigger version though. At nine inches tall, it’s fairly minuscule for this gentle giant. I am, however, very excited to hear what phrases he speaks!
