Welcome back to the world of Labyrinth, where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems!

This is the perfected version of my original submission, the Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Escher Room. It is sturdier, more intricate and more accurate than ever before!

This majestic collectible, yet playable, display piece is focused on the iconic Escher Room. It’s that room, inspired by M.C. Escher’s Relativity artwork, where confusing stairs are mixed with multiple centers of gravity for a spectacular effect.

There are two big differences from my previous version: The first one being that there is no illegal* technique in any part of the new build - everything is done with SNOTing**, from the arched doorways lying sideways to the double-sided stairs that allow classic upside-down scenes to be recreated. This new technique also helps create a clean, polished finish.

The second one is that, it’s a collaborative project between me and my brother. He has provided advice and a lot of great ideas along the way such that it is just natural that he is now my teammate in this journey. He also designed the new version of the book, giving it a beautiful and textured binding!

But it’s not all! References to fan-favorites characters and scenes are everywhere:
- The beloved Ludo is here, with his friends the rocks,
- The Worm, which can be found beside the posable Eye Lichen, waiting for you with a cup of tea,
- A turnable lipstick arrow on the floor,
- A hidden Goblin King face, as can be spotted at multiple locations in the movie,
- A spying Goblin King, transformed into his owl form, is well established in his own little arch and two more owls can be found on the base near the iconic 13-hour clock,
- Evil Nipper Sticks are transported through the hedges of the Labyrinth, themselves ornamented with obelisks and crystal balls flying around,
- The terrible Bog of Eternal Stench, which can be found on the back of the set, complete with lianas for the characters to escape with - Smell bad!
- Stars, crystal balls and chickens ornament the base,
- The Labyrinth book, Sarah's music box, Sarah's panda slippers, Lancelot, the poisonous peach, Didymus' hat, and a jewel (for Hoggle) top the Escher Room,
- And plates with classic quotes to go with the different scenes!

But a good LEGO set would never be complete without minifigures.
This is why Sarah, with her lipstick and plastic bracelet; Jareth the Goblin King, with crystal balls to juggle with; and adorable Baby Toby are all included and ready for new adventures!

Note: All minifigures posed up-side-down can really be placed this way!

*An illegal technique is a type of connection that official LEGO designers are not allowed to use because it may stress bricks or is not very stable.
