Description This was commissioned by Jake Forbes, the writer of Return to Labyrinth (a manga sequel to the movie Labyrinth. The last volume is coming out very soon!). His website is [link] if you're curious about his doings and work.

I was very surprised when Jake emailed me and then thrilled that he wanted me to make him some plushies. After all, I'm still pretty much a newb (Toby is the 13th human plush I've made! I don't know if that sounds like a lot or a little, but to me it seems little.) Also, Jake will be showing him and the others off next week at the San Diego Comic-Con!

Anyway, this was based off the volume 2 cover seen here: [link] I gave him brown boots to give him a more earthy look...like Link from Zelda. And then I wanted him to be more Labyrinth-like, so I drew Jareth's amulet on the back of his clothes since those green lines on the front had to lead somewhere, right? I also put a part in his hair that's not seen in the photos, but it didn't come out as cool as I thought it'd be.

Toby is 16" tall and poseable. The character belongs to the Jim Henson Company.

Don't know if anyone else has asked this, but did you do this as your 13th on purpose? seeing as everything Jerith did in the labyrinth that was numbered came out to a form of 13,
number of hours Sarah had to solve the labyrinth,
the number of years he had ruled the underground before Toby was called in (x100)
just wondering. >.o

Oh, I want to ask, does his clothes come off or sew on?

Well if his head wasn't there, I could take off his clothes. His boots are sewed onto his legs though so they don't become loose.
