Three Forbidden Planet stores in the UK have actual puppets used in the making of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance on display thanks to a partnership with Netflix.
The puppets are safely tucked away from Skeksis in display cases or in windows, and it looks like a superb chance to get up close to these incredible props. Here’s where you can find the Dark Crystal characters;
- In Birmingham: Aughra’s attendant, Podling, Fizzgig
- In Bristol: Brea, Rian
- In Cambridge: Deet, Podling, Fizzgig
Forbidden Planet told press;
We’re truly overwhelmed to have these wonderful characters with us. They’re the magic of Thra, brought life, and they’re so incredibly realistic, we almost expect them to move!
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is available on Netflix in the UK, USA and for viewers around the world.
Forbidden Planet already has several Dark Crystal items in stock and the Weta Workshops’ Baffi the Fizzgig is on pre-order.
