  Rygel: Dominar of Hyneria
  Comes with Royal Costume, Throne Chair, Bomb Case, Bomb, Dagger, and Crystal.
  Sculpted by Raven Hood
  Painted by Edward Wires

• From the toyVault website:

  "Raven Hood has done several sculpts for the cold cast statue hobby market under his label Wondermass Idealab, and worked for Walt Disney and McFarlane Toys, among many other companies."

• From Raven Hood's interview with Karlsweb:

  "I originally worked based on some photos of the original clay sculpt of Rygel. This was great because it was a solid and I had several shots of it (several is never enough) but it was also really rough and didn't have all the details of the final puppet. Since I got started kind of early on this figure, the 'based on clay version' was around for a couple months while I finished other projects and the second series of figures were still being locked down. We even had a paint up at ComicCon that summer. But when Janis Beauchamp (Henson Art Director) and I started reviewing it, we determined he was pretty stiff and some details were not accurate. Here it got tricky. A human face changes a lot with expressions and mood. Puppets stretch to achieve these emotions and should be easier to reproduce but puppets do not have bones like humans do. Rygel's whole face elongates for some expressions and his body even collapses on its self at times. With humans you can always grab someone and say 'do this' but I don't know any little alien puppets I could get to pose for me."

• From the Edward Wires website:

  "Edward Wires is a commercial toy prototype painter. He has been in the business just shy of four years and works for several different companies; Toy Biz, Palisades Toys, Toy Vault, and Dark Horse to name a few."

  "He has painted literally hundreds of figures (and each one requires up to 2 to 5 copies), for a multitude of exciting properties ranging from Lord of the Rings to The Muppets. From Spiderman Classics to Farscape. And from The X-Men to the WCW."
