The truth behind The Bowie Bulge at last.
1. Jareth's considerable bulge was an intentional choice made by conceptual designer Brian Froud.
2. The armor on Jareth's leather jacket is a nod to 15th century knights.
3. The short staff with the crystal on the end that Jareth carries is called a "swagger stick," and the crystal was designed to resemble a microphone.

4. The character Hoggle was voiced by Brian Henson, Jim Henson's son.
5. The puppet Hoggle had 18 motors in its face and was operated by four people. The actress inside the puppet did all of Hoggle's body movements, but none of the facial movements.
6. Hoggle was lost in transit and is now on display at the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Alabama.
