Summary: A pretty good figurine of an awesome dude 2008-02-23
Comment: Everything is vinyl or some kind of smelly plastic, and I don't know if everyone else's is this way, but my Jareth's left arm won't lower, just bend back and forth, so he can't do the stance the image shows, he just kinda has to put his fist up in an odd pose or punch straight forward, which is odd. Also he doesn't come with a goblin (as some sites list him with), but with a tiny crystal ball and an extra exchangeable hand to hold it with.
As for his looks, the clothes are totally cool and accurate-looking, and his face isn't too bad either. Not a spitting image, but not completely off like some other figures I've bought. If you're a Bowie/Labyrinth nut, then this is a buy.

Summary: Jareth 2007-10-19
Comment: It's what it is, a very good likeness of David Bowie from the film Labyrinth. Details are pretty well done, he's antaomically correct like in the film ;), and overall a nice collectible.
My one gripe about it, he comes with a little crystal ball like in the film, and for some reason I can't get his hand to hold it firmly.

Summary: for all the Bowie lovers... 2007-09-19
Comment: One of the best action figures I've seen in a while. they've got the Bowie smirk down pat.
It comes with interchangable hands and the crystal ball. amazing detail.
if you're a die-hard fan of the movie, it'll replace your wedding photo on your mantle.

Summary: A little dissapointing 2007-09-05
Comment: I've hoped for a Labyrinth action figure series for a long time. This was so close to being as good as it needed to be, but falls a little short, in my opinion.
Firstly, original press releases promised a little goblin to come with him, for Jareth to lord over. No such luck. What does he come with? an interchangeable right hand. Why? I don't know, it just makes it from one hand that almost could hold the crystal ball he comes with to a fist,matching the left hand. I had difficulty switching the hands too, his elbow joint likes to pop out as well, at least it popsback in just as easily.
His paint job is a little heavy handed in my opinion, none of the subtle grace that Bowie brought to the role. And the hair looks all sorts of silly. I actually think the figure looks older than Bowie looks even now. He isn't very much of an 'action' figure. His legs don't bend, and all the parts of him that are articulated are blocked by his HUGE cape. While it does look cool, I think I would have liked it to be detachable, like Boromir's of the LotR action figures.
The sculpt isn't bad for the face, and his costume. If I were a customizer I'd be half tempted to redo his face.
The packing is very lovely, at least. Hopefully if the company makes more figures they take whatever criticizim fans have into account and compensate.
