Aughra is Thra. And Thra is Aughra.

Aughra has spent years looking to the skies. She took her eye off of Thra with the understanding that the Skeksis would maintain her world just the way she left it. But when the Skeksis began corrupting the Crystal even more by draining Gelfling, Aughra feels the brunt of that corruption physically. She is Thra. So when Thra starts to die, so does Aughra.

Tapping back into the world by relearning the Song of Thra, Aughra attempts to save the Gelfling and guides the main heroes on their paths.

EDITION SIZE SET BY YOU

Orders for Mother Aughra were open for a strictly limited time from December 4 – 18, 2019. The edition size of 360 was determined by the total number of orders made during this period.

I wanted to pay homage to both the series & the original film by incorporating Aughra’s iconic amulet into her pose. I was over the moon that Netflix used our work in the first episode to explain how the Skeksis arrived & distracted Aughra by turning her eye to the stars.

Crafting Collectibles from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

OUR DARK CRYSTAL COLLECTIBLES

So rich and visionary was Jim Henson’s 1982 passion project that it inspired dreamers across the creative arts, including a whole generation of film effects artists now working at Wētā Workshop. Released at a time when many of our crew were young and beginning to explore their own creative energies, The Dark Crystal was an eye-opener: it was possible to bring imaginary worlds to life, and it could be a career! For years, those of us who had fallen in love with this world hoped that someday Thra might return to our screens. Thanks to Netflix, it has, and now we have the chance to express our fandom by creating super faithful, highly detailed collectible figures and prop replicas from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

And this is just the beginning! More Dark Crystal collectibles are coming soon.

  1. Fantastic Sculpt
    Second Weta collectible I\'ve purchased. Just as well crafted and extraordinarily detailed as the first. Absolutely beautiful piece of shelf art. I love the fact that the Great Conjunction symbol is removable, so you can have Aughra giving almost anything her scowling, questionable expression. Some of the bits of rope and hair look almost real!

  2. “I am Mother Aughra! I am Thra!”
    Very happy to have Mother Aughra. One of the most iconic characters in a well detailed figure. Thank you Weta.

  3. She is Thra
    Received Aughra today: she was definitely worth it. Im so glad I put in an order for her. As usual, the sculpting and detailing are brilliant; the colours rich and deep. (Just waiting for Deet now). Thanks WETA- proud and very happy to add her to my collection.
