Product Description
Step into the dark, mystical world of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance with Weta Workshop's Essence Vial Prop Replica. This 1:1 scale reproduction captures the chilling essence of the Skeksis' malevolent invention—vials used to drain the life force of Gelflings, collecting their vital energies in liquid form. Created by the twisted scientist SkekTek, these vials were instruments of horror, powered by the corrupted Crystal, allowing the Skeksis to extend their unnatural lives. This replica serves as both a haunting reminder of their treachery and a beautiful collectible for fans of the series.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Essence Vial combines glass and resin, replicating the look and feel of the original prop seen on screen. The vial is more than just a visual masterpiece—its unique LED lighting system mimics the eerie, glowing essence of the life force it contains. With a simple switch, the replica comes to life, casting a sinister glow, reminiscent of the Skeksis' vile experiments. The lighting feature makes this piece stand out, especially in low-light settings, adding an immersive touch to any collection.
Measuring 8 x 12 x 6 cm, this prop replica is a compact yet striking addition to Weta Workshop’s The Dark Crystal collection, perfectly suited for display. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the world of Thra or new to its fantastical lore, this Essence Vial is a tribute to the richly layered storytelling and intricate craftsmanship that have defined the series. It’s more than a collectible—it’s a piece of dark fantasy history brought to life.

The original film's unique visual style and elaborate puppetry, crafted by Henson and his team, established a rich, otherworldly lore that has continued to captivate audiences.
Following the film, the franchise expanded with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, a Netflix prequel series that delves into the backstory of the Skeksis' rise to power and the Gelfling rebellion against them. Additionally, the franchise includes various tie-in materials, such as the Legends of the Dark Crystal manga, which further explores the universe's mythology and history.
