This was a pre-order I placed back in August of 2008 from BBTS. It came today and looks great.

He looks badass. Need to get that figure.
The clamshell's shape is refreshing. NECA keeps on rockin'.
Great haul !

Dude, you're not the only one... ;) I collect anything The Dark Crystal that I can find! :D

Not from NECA, at least yet. Hopefully they'll make at least a Mystic, Aughra, Jen or Kira.... The only other "figures" produced were the Sideshow 12" Jen and Kira. Everything else produced has been statues or busts...

Why would they do just one lone figure?

I'd love to have one of those black "beetle" guys from that movie.

Because one or 2 characters will usually sell better than a full line. For Labyrinth, they only made Jareth and then the Jareth/Hoggle 2 pack. I'm hoping they do something similar for TDC. Chamberlain in his robes with the sword would be nice or maybe a Trial by Stone 2-pack with Skekung...

I don't see it that way, I'm actually turned off by a single figure especially of this size. If he was of significant size for display maybe I'd buy. Alone a medium sized figure isn't enough presentation for a display. In a case like this I would like to see around four figures, at that point they become displayable and offer a decent representation/view of the movie. The two gelflings, chamberlin and his good guy counter part would be perfect.

I would love to read a study on how one figure sells better than a few when the source material is not centralized on one character like say Batman or Iron man movies are.

Dude, don't get me wrong. I agree with you 150%, I'm only going by what I've heard and what Neca told me in a Q&A. They for some reason like to do things this way... Myself, I would love the entire cast: Skeksis, Mystics, Jen, Kira, Aughra, Landstriders, Garthim, Podlings, hell even given me some Crystal Bats!!!

I could see them saying that to judge interest in a line or use it as a ploy to keep you watching a line for another character with hopefully hooking you on another totally different series.

Has anyone found Chamberlain at retail? I've been checking for the last 2 weeks but found nothing. Maybe I'll try the comic shop tomorrow...

Great figure ! :)
How articulated is he ? Neck, shoulders and wrists right ?
Thanx for the pics. But why do people tend to use a flash ? It always kills the natural shadows. :(

This is an outstanding figure. Saw a few at my LCS. Will probably pick one up today if possible. Neca did a very nice job on this one.

That figure looks great! My only gripe is the head and his features are a bit too rounded in places.

It's a cult classics figure or it's from another serie?

It's technically Cult Classics.
