Funko developed a line of ReAction figures for The Dark Crystal released in 2016. According to his Instagram account,[1] the designs are based on Tim Clarke's work for a line of figures developed by Hasbro in 1983, which were never released.
The first two releases were announced as convention exclusives. The first, consisting of Jen and a Landstrider, was exclusive to San Diego Comic-Con (July 21β24, 2016).[2] The item was later available at other retailers, including the Toys Π― Us online store.[3] The second, consisting of Kira, Fizzgig, and a Garthim, was exclusive to New York Comic Con (Oct 6-9, 2016).[4]
The regular line of figures, released in October, consists of Jen, Kira, Chamberlain, Aughra, Ursol, and a Garthim (a Toys Π― Us exclusive). They are each paired with Crystal Shards that can be pieced together to form The Pure Crystal.[5]
The figures were produced during a time in which Super7 (the original owner of the ReAction label) was partnered with Funko to release ReAction figures. As such, the packaging for The Dark Crystal figures have "Funko x Super7" branding.
