January 13th - Jareth the Goblin King from 'Labyrinth'


Jareth the Goblin King from 'Labyrinth'

a Neca action figure

I guess the term 'action figure' is used pretty loosely nowadays. Jareth here is more of a nicely sculpted, plastic statue. Sure, his arms and head are poseable but, he lacks any defining action feature that toys of old might have. Then again, what kind of action feature should a David Bowie figure have that would be appropriate for anyone other than singing an dancing? No, this figure can't turn into an owl or turn babies into goblins like in the movie but, at least, his pants buldge is sculpted movie accurate.(sorry its obscured by his cape in this shot, but we dont want to offend anyone, do we?)
