I'd heard about this a few years back, the original Hoggle doll from the labyrinth (that Brian, Wendy, and Toby Froud all worked on) was found unclaimed at an airport. He deteriorated over the years from neglect but was restored, he still sits there on display in the lost and found thrift store in Scottsboro, Alabama.
I still love the Labyrinth to this day, and you would think Hoggle being such an iconic character in the movie someone would have gone and picked him up. If I had a way of actually contacting the Jim Henson creature workshop or one of the Frouds directly, wouldn't it be nice to see the Jim Henson company finally take him since it was the last feature film directed by Henson before his death in 1990.
