No kickstarter. He has said it is a straight to retail release

Massive post on Facebook;

Finally got all sculpts approved and all pictures added, the cast is complete!

Spoiler:

**matphat**

Obviously the Jim Henson sculpts will look better than the human sculpts, so I'm not going to bother nit picking the accuracy difference. I'm in as soon as they are available. This is awesome.

**Compel**

I really really hope that some of those 3-ups will be available for collectors.

**Schmapdi**

That Goblin King is a bit rough - the paint job seems pretty poor too compared to all the rest. :/

**Joyboozer**

The goblin Kings groin needs more work, that's not anything like it appears in the movie!

For those looking for miniatures with a Dark Crystal vibe to them, might I suggest Twilight? Not my creation, but I've got some of the minis and they are nice sculpts/casts, and the fluff is solid. Rules seem nice and unique too, but I've not played yet.

So, not THAT Twilight, and the shop needs a sign-in.
Try this one instead:

Grrr. You made me go and look!

Given the 'paint' is entirely Photoshopped, I think it's more the rough photography than lack of paintbrush skill!

That's... broken, by the looks of it! I'll send an email to the chap who runs it. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Chap gives his apologies!

**RiTides**

Some really adorable sculpts here

and spot on with the movie!

**SlaveToDorkness**

Oh Man I'd forgotten how much I adore Ludo!

**Jehan-reznor**

Game spotted at GAMA (via Games of Berkeley)!

I hope the mini's are pre-production ones because they look a little flat.

**Nostromodamus**

Oh my.

If that's what the production pieces are going to look like, that's tragic...

**Compel**

Maybe they're mockup 3d prints?

*Trying to be optimistic*

**insaniak**

They're passable as boardgame tokens, but extremely disappointing given the renders shown.

Game box looks very 1980's... Undecided as to whether or not that's a good thing.

I don't see how you can put images from Labyrinth on the box and NOT look very 1980s.

And yowch - if those are the quality of the minis I am out and very sorely disappointed. :/

**Pete Melvin**

Oh lord, I hope those are just pre-production test pieces because otherwise...well, its tough cleaning bits of sick from out between the keys of my keyboard

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Even if they are pre-production test miniatures...should they be that rough? The mould lines on poor Ludo make me sad.

Am a bit gutted if that is the quality level, I was going to paint up the Goblin King for a friend who is a Bowie nut.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Those do indeed look woeful,

but I wouldn't be surprised if they were the level the final game will provide (hopefully not though)

Alessio has confirmed that that those are nothing like the final models on the Facebook page

What you see there is a mock up I personally stuck together using our office printer (glued on a mix of Waterloo and Shuuro bits...) and models printed using our (very cheap) office 3d printer, then sprayed grey to look a bit like the final pieces...

**insaniak**

Honestly, even if they did have the signs on them, they would have been better off just showing cardboard cutouts with the renders on them than those miniatures.

Mock-up or not, it's going to serve as a very visual reminder that the final product generally doesn't look as good as the render, and make people wonder just what they will get.

**SlaveToDorkness**

"Ugh....Ludo Saaaaaad...."

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Do River Horse have an actual "go to" PVC (I assume, like the game pieces for Loka) producer?Or is it just a contract to contract thing?

**Duncan_Idaho**

GAMA is not a consumer-fair, hence these mock-ups will do.

**Jehan-reznor**

Here is a picture of a rule book page

**Nostromodamus**

Like the map.

That map is so cool! Bummer it will have 4 creases in it, though...

I hope this is not the final version and that the retail version has a real board
