Ok, I'm done now.  I tried ssooooo hard to drag it out and make it last. I lasted eight days.  So now what am I going to do for a year until next season?

I will add
Spoiler
so glad the Collector died.  No disrespect to Nora Lum, but I really disliked the voice acting on this character.

I agree
Spoiler
at first I thought it was the voice actor for Roz the slug-lady from Monsters Inc! Yes,I found  that voice was annoying too.

Spoiler
I actually liked her voice acting. I didn't recognize her at all until I saw the credits. But I will say that I am glad, too, because the Collector was dis - gus - tinggg...
I can't look at mucus, snot and drool. It makes me feel sick. When his head exploded into a fountain of mucus I was gagging.

I am also glad the Hunter died because that character was too much for me. All that almost-dying, will he won't he, and finally he croaked. I was celebrating.

My fave is the Heretic and I am enjoying the Emperor, too. They did that thing to hjm where a character says "I will never do X" in a prequel and the audience knows he actually will do X. In case of the Emperor he said he will never turn to dust and it made me chuckle. Yes you will be dust, honey. When he took off his nose I gagged again :lol:

Did you guys see the Fizzgig puppet preorder at Gamestop?  I compared it to the original puppet and it is pretty spot on....

Pricey AF but it really does look SO GOOD! I am terribly tempted...

Here is the original puppet-  it was auctioned off for sale a year or two ago somewhere-  a little worse for the wear from being in storage for 30 years no doubt...

Oh and here is the newer puppet used in the recent series...  looks pretty close right?

They are very well made!
I wonder if they will start making costumes?

I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of DCAOR cosplay at the upcoming cons and for Halloween!

I never noticed the second row of teeth! Brilliant! (And he reminds me of one of my dogs!)

Love this series! Never seen the original movie- but the puppets remind me of childhood :heart:
Visit my Flickr for doll & pony pictures!

My wantlist - pony wear, backcards & puffy/flat stickers

It was an excellent series-   the story wasn't spellbinding- but it was good.  The puppetry was beautiful and it really looked like the Dark Crystal "world" -  very enjoyable.

The "making of" was also really interesting and worth a watch

I found an Aughra action figure today at Target!!!  They had the hunter skeksis too, but I would take any other skeksis over him.  I wasn't a fan of him.
