Went down a rabbit hole just now with amazing pinball machines that started with the John Wick one at this first link, and then the Godzilla and Labyrinth ones at the other links 🤯

"What wilt thou have, Hans My Hedgehog?"

"Father,” [Hans] said, “bring me bagpipes, then go to the forge and get the rooster shod, and then I will ride away, and never come back."

The father was delighted that he was going to be rid of [Hans].

Just added to our online historical archives: the (1986) pocket program and program book!

Of note: this was the mid-80s, before the big media cons, and SF/F cons were an important outlet for studios promoting their upcoming films.

For example, one of the pros and panelists that year? !

The featured movie previews?

Oh, to have been in the room when Henson himself previewed Labyrinth….

Many authors depict the Minotaur sympathetically. For example, Borges presents a lonely, melancholy figure yearning to escape the Labyrinth while Jim Henson's "The Storyteller" presents a bestial child struggling to learn concepts such as "sunlight" or "family."

fans! is taking preorders for a 25th-anniversary, boxset of all 88 eps, , & other bonus features.

It is $300. And that will be a hit to me. But, dren, I want to support this show. If we are watching shows on holograms in 20 years, I want them to release a data chip of this show so I can watch in on my clamshell.

Happy 37th anniversary to Jim Henson's cult classic musical fantasy 'Labyrinth', released on June 27th 1986, with George Lucas as executive producer, starring Jennifer Connelly as Sarah Williams and David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King.

David Bowie as Jareth holding baby Toby.
Scene from the film showing Jareth the Goblin King dancing with Sarah.
Scene from the film showing Sir Didymus (a fox-terrier like character), Ambrosius (a white fluffy dog serving as Sir Didymus' steed), Ludo (a large beast-like character with horns), and Hoggle the dwarf.

Anyone know anyone else who is huge into Jim Henson Creature Shop or Muppets?

I have what I believe to be a full set of mint super rare Jim Henson Creature Shop toys. Originally set to be released and then canceled when the Chick-fil-A leadership were found out to be shitty.

I'd rather sell to someone who would take good care as opposed to going for biggest dollars on the likes of ebay.
