The Jim Henson Company teams with BrokenToad

Range of new miniature figures launches following a deal brokered by Rockpool Licensing.

The Jim Henson Company has teamed up with BrokenToad for a new range of miniature figures.

In partnership with Black Sun Miniatures, BrokenToad has developed highly detailed sculpts of characters from Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, two of Jim Henson’s most popular films.

The deal was brokered by UK agent, Rockpool Licensing.

BrokenToad produces all of its model kits in the UK, in-house and by hand. The kits are sold unassembled and unpainted, ready for collectors to build and paint for display at home or for participation in miniature model painting competitions all over the world.

The new range was launched with a Kickstarter campaign on April 24 and achieved its funding goal in just 13 minutes – reaching 500% of its target within just 48 hours.

“The team at BrokenToad have done an exceptional job with their Labyrinth and Dark Crystal sculpts” said Vickie O’Malley, md of Rockpool Licensing. “The quality of their work has been met with great enthusiasm from the Kickstarter community as well as within the collector and enthusiast press.”

BrokenToad’s Kris Lawrence added: “Many factors lead to our love of model sculpture and one of our biggest influences was 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.”
