Story

The amazing worlds of Jim Henson brought to life as officially licensed miniature models for collectors and fans.

 Broken Toad is a UK-based company that has produced accessories and models for display painters since 2014. We are now an official licensee of The Jim Henson Company, using our experience to create an impressive range of miniature models based on both The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Black Sun Miniatures has been producing a diverse range of high quality resin miniatures since 2015. Black Sun specialise in fantasy and science fiction subjects, designed for painters, modellers and collectors.

Many factors that have lead us to our love of model sculpture, one of the most influential of these has been the great Jim Henson. We spent much of our youth immersed in the worlds Jim created and are so excited to have been given the opportunity to work with The Jim Henson Company and to create miniature models of our favourite characters.

 Jim was a master visionary and the worlds he created feature rich storylines and complex characters. Our goal is to delight existing fans and introduce these amazing creations to a new generation.

Words cannot express how excited I am about this, even though I will likely not be able to afford much, if any of it.

I wonder if this means they will be doing the Dark Crystal models as a separate Kickstarter.

Oh lord!

@Pingo @malefactus look at this!

 

I will be watching this!

Apparently not

 

[Shadowphaze]

... when?

[Glitterwolf]

This is going to cost me...

[Fire_Eyes]

Have they said anywhere what the scale of these is going to be?

 

Either way, I'm probably in trouble

Ouch.

 

Opening campaign is 4 figures and 4 busts from each property.  Total of 16 models.

 

Definitely going to hurt...

They have shared pictures of 2 or 3 skeksies and Ogra already if you head over to their FB page.  /giddy! 

 

Just watched the video...  OMG!  My poor wallet....

Beautiful stuff!    But would really love to see just a simple range of gaming-appropriate figures for Dark Crystal!    Sadly, these are too high-end for that purpose.

there's a Dark Crystal board game with mins in it..
