Product Information

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.

Fandom: The Dark Crystal

Item UPC: 9420024730058

The grim fruit of malignant science, essence vials were small glass receptacles into which were distilled the drained life essences of captured Gelflings.

A cruel invention of the Skeksis Scientist, SkekTek, essence draining was accomplished by strapping captives into a device which used the power of the sickening Crystal to suck from them their vital energies, collecting them in liquid form.

These delicate flasks of life force were greedily consumed by the pernicious Skeksis, thereby artificially extending their own long, thin lives. The act was a vile betrayal of the power of the Crystal and of the Gelflings, who trusted their draconic lords with its custodianship and their own safety. The uncovering of this secret crime and its consequences will shake the foundations of Thra.

The Essence Vial joins Weta Workshop's exquisitely detailed range of Dark Crystal collectibles; a range that pays homage to the richly layered, fantastical world of Thra.

FEATURES:

  • 1:1 scale prop replica;
  • Crafted from glass & resin;
  • Unique LED lighting to replicate the radiant essence seen on screen. Cast a sinister glow from your vial by switching on the battery.
  • Dimensions: 8 x 12 x 6 cm

The Dark Crystal

The Dark Crystal franchise, originating with Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy film The Dark Crystal, is renowned for its intricate puppet work, imaginative world-building, and dark, mythic storytelling. Set on the planet of Thra, the franchise explores the conflict between the oppressive Skeksis and the noble Gelflings, centering on a prophecy involving a young Gelfling named Jen who must restore balance by healing the Dark Crystal. 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. The franchise is celebrated for its deep storytelling, elaborate world-building, and its contributions to the fantasy genre through its distinctive visual and narrative style.

If you need more help, send us an email at hello@poggers.com or call us at our warehouse (262-476-5047) on Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST and we'll help you out!

Poggers Frequently Asked Questions

We fulfill orders as quickly as possible when we're at the Poggers warehouse, Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST—usually within 24 hours of receiving your order. If you place an order over the weekend, it will be fulfilled that following Monday. We aim to hand the package to the shipping carrier within 24 hours, but depending on when the order was placed and how busy we are (we're a small family business, after all), it may take up to 48 hours to get it into the carrier's hands.

The time it takes for your order to arrive depends on the shipping method you choose and when we fulfill the order, as explained above. Carriers typically have a 24-hour handling time before your package enters their system and they start counting the shipping days.

For example, if you select a 3-day shipping method on Monday, the carrier will likely receive it on Tuesday and won't begin counting the 3-day shipping until Wednesday, meaning you should expect it to arrive by Friday, Saturday, or possibly even the following Monday, depending on whether that carrier operates on weekends (e.g., UPS usually does not deliver on weekends). Due to the variability in shipping times, we strongly suggest placing your order as soon as possible if it's time-sensitive.

We're located in a small town of around 2,000 people named “Belgium” in the state of Wisconsin, USA. And no, it's not the country of Belgium—it's a tiny town called “Belgium” that you probably haven't heard of. There's not much going on here, but we do have a nice gas station that recently opened, where we usually get our morning coffees!

Poggers is the best toy store in the world, of course! Well, we might be a little biased... (probably). We're a small, family-owned and operated business with just a handful of employees working out of a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse in the Midwest, USA. We sell all kinds of toys, games, collectibles, anime merchandise, and pretty much anything you’d want if you like having fun!

It's true that when you place an order, we make a couple of bucks, but instead of helping those super-rich shareholders of massive corporations get even richer, you can support us!

To be transparent, we're currently saving up to open our first brick-and-mortar location, so every order helps! We're trying to build a really cool and fun business, with (hopefully) a store that makes you say, “Wow, this place is cool!” when you walk in. The only way we can do that is with your support. So please help us out by clicking that “Add to Cart” button!

Love it!

★★★★★ Taber Long

Fits exactly as I was hoping! I've struggled to find a hat that has a theme I like while not having a massive dome that makes it look huge when worn. Quality is superb. Also love being able to support a small business that appreciates their customers!

What Other People Say About Poggers

One big wholesome nerdy family.

Just a very fast, friendly, group that feels like a classic family owned toy shop.
Every step of the way, they made sure my package was sent, tracking data and even wanted to make sure it arrived. Like a friend wanting to make sure your present arrived on time.
When it arrived, there were surprises as well, which wasn't necessary, but made me smile.
I ordered a card game, but friends of mine have ordered figurines and plush toys and have had also a great experience.
The fact this was placed during Thanksgiving and during a rough weather storm in Wisconsin was equally amazing!I
love this group and recommend it, even if it's $2-3 more compared to Amazon and other Retailers, this is such a caring retailer.
Give it a try, the service stands out!

- Jordan H.

Best Apprehension Buy Ever!

I was slightly wary originally to purchase from this story because I'd never heard of it, and when it comes to figures I am extra worrisome but I took the chance because they had a Gojo figure I'd been searching for and couldn't find without it costing an arm and a leg.
The price was fair, so I gave them a chance and I'm happy I did because the figure came in original packaging and clearly unboxed.
It was pristine and exactly as pictured, and it came rather quickly I'd like to add.
The note attached to the invoice was super cute and made me smile. (Shout out to Ray, a fellow JJK fan.) I will certainly buy from here again in the future with no apprehension.
All I ask is that you get the JJK0 Geto noodle stopper figure soon!

- Chasedy H.

Absolutely Fantastic!

I was hesitant at first because I'd never heard of this store and they are quite new, but they're absolutely amazing! Professional and yet delightfully quirky with emails and update, and the site it's self is easy to navigate! They have stock that's old and new at very good yet legitimate prices, and seem to have a range of products from Hatsune Miku to Batman to Pokemon to Skyrim! Big store variety with little store charm, will be buying from them again for sure!!!

- Ginger H.

First time customer at Poggers

Great price for a Catan expansion! Skeptical at first because they had the lowest price on that item and I've never heard of the company before, so I did a quick google search for the reliability of the company and decided to give them a try.
They're very accommodating with request. Quick and fast response/service.
Item shipped out the next business day.
This is a legitimate family owned company so I'm definitely going to give them more of my business when needed.

- Phuong

Just placed my first purchase with POGGERS…

Just placed my first purchase with POGGERS! I found what I was looking for, had a good price & received it today in a very properly wrapped box.
I KNOW my grandson will love this. I believe I have found a GREAT toy store!!
