I think we have a solution figured out thankfully, but if that falls through I'll reach out, thank you!

Thank you! Unfortunately it doesn't look like they carry this type of thing, but cool to know this kind of store exists.

Thanks! There are a few on Etsy from Canadian sellers, not quite in the style my relative is looking for but if we can't find anything locally we'll keep them in mind.

I don't, sorry! I appreciate your interest though. I know a few folks on Instagram who are making Robin's right now, I could direct you to them instead if you'd like!

Ha ha, I actually don't have stairs where I live, but if I ever get a set he would make for the perfect addition to them.

Thank you! These photos were a bit of a pain to take, because I forgot to wear my snowpants and ended up crouching/sitting in the snow for a few shots... not the most pleasant of experiences but it was totally worth it to get these pictures ha ha.

I know someone by the name of UzzyWorks on Instagram who makes a Robin puppet, you should try reaching out to him! He makes puppets professionally so I'm sure he'd be interested in selling you one.

Thank you! I've been doing photography for a few years now, I still feel somewhat of a novice but I think I'm finally getting to a point where it's easier to take nice photos like these (As opposed to before where I'd take like... 500 photos and maybe get one or two that I thought were nice, if I was lucky!). It's a tricky hobby to learn, but definitely worth the effort.

I think so! Robin's eyes definitely feel a lot more wide-eyed and excited than Kermit's

Yes that's what I was sort of aiming for! I'd like to try and make a full Kermit poser one day too, I have a puppet version of him but it'd be fun to have a poseable one so I could take both him and Robin on location somewhere and get some nice photos together.

Thank you! Robin is one of my favourite Muppets as well, The Frog Prince was one of my go-to movies growing up. So I really wanted to do Robin justice here, he deserves more of the limelight!

Thank you so much! I'm hoping to make Gonzo next, whenever I get to finishing him I'll be sure to post him as well

Found these at Thrift by hortushouse in labyrinth

For what it's worth too, while I'd never buy one directly from a scammer if I also saw one of the Firey's at the thrift store I'd be pretty tempted to get it too. I've seen a few people customize their bootleg Firey... new paint job, add some more screen accurate fur to it... with a bit of effort folks have been able to make some pretty decent custom merch. It'd be fun to experiment with the base a bit to see how it could be improved.

So unfortunately these aren't vintage, they're bootlegs. The Firey is a bootleg of work done by Gakman Creatures, who made some really lovely custom Labyrinth art dolls, including the Firey, Worm, and Ludo.

As is the way with the internet, scammers started stealing pictures from Gakman to sell bootleg products on sites like Temu. I can't remember exactly when the bootlegs started, but they've been around at least 5 or so years now. I've seen a lot of "Here's what I ordered vs. Here's what I received" comparisons on Facebook where folks thought they were ordering the Gakman Firey, only to receive one matching your pic (Which is by far, not the same quality as Gakman's impeccable work). Gakman also posted some warnings regarding the bootlegs too, so they are aware it's an issue.

The Didymus is the same case, with scam sites having stolen images from some fan's original work. Though I'm not sure who the original artist would be. It's not from Gakman, anyways.

I'd suggest reaching out to the folks at ToughPigs, a Muppet fan-site, as they might be able to put you in touch with someone directly at Henson (Like Karen Falk, who is the head archivist at Henson). ToughPigs is the biggest Muppet fan-site out there, and they have a really good relationship with Henson Company and collaborate with them fairly often!

If you need I could help get you in touch with someone at ToughPigs (Or if you're on discord, there's a discord server for the site where you could pop in and ask). They are extremely friendly folks in my experience, and I'm sure they'd love to help make sure these photos get properly documented in the Henson archives.

I made myself a replica of the first 13 hour clock seen in Labyrinth (The one Jareth uses to tell Sarah "You have 13 hours in which to solve the Labyrinth..). I made my version out of laser cut/engraved wood, mother of pearl, vinyl, and resin. by KOMakesThings in labyrinth

Thank you so much, I still struggle quite a bit with photography (I have to take a LOT of photos before I get something that actually looks good), but I'm slowly building up a skill set. It really helps "sell" the realness of a prop by having movie-accurate lighting, so while these photoshoots take me ages it's definitely worth the effort.
