Are those not the coolest toys you've ever seen? LOOK AT THEM!

And apparantly, they were only 20 bucks before they sold out. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SELL OUT! I'll have to scour e-Bay for these, as I would definitely pay $20 apiece, and hopefully I can find the Cthulhu in green. Seriously, how awesome would these be to just have in your room? I could look at them, show them off, make them fight, have them massacre my old Star Wars toys, oh how it would be awesome.

I have Dagon, he's pretty cool. Cthulhu is a bit wonky compared to how I imagine him looking so I passed on him. There's a ghoul out there too and I think there was a second series planned, though I have no idea if it ever actually came out.

I want a Cthulu that is based on the picture of him on the rock with waves crashing into it. I would buy that in a second.

What story is Dagon from? I have a Lovecraft book, not sure if it's one of the good ones though, want to read the Cthulu book and the Dagon. Dagon looks fucking evil and pant-shitting scary.

Dagon is from the eponymously titled "Dagon." In the book I have, it's the first story of the collection.

Damn, those are fucking cool. I think I would buy some of the Shadow of the Colossus figures I've been drooling over before Cthulu there, but man they are tempting.

Dagon's never actually seen in any books; the only thing in the story is one of his degenerate half-fish followers and an obelisk with a crude depiction of him on it, but he is one of the more powerful beings in the Lovecraft mythos.

And I kinda hate that painting of Cthulhu emerging from Rl'yeh, totally uninspired and bland. He's a greater evil than the world has ever known for god's sake, not your dad waking up from a nap on the couch.

haha, I just like the way he looks in that, more creature like. Some of the ones I've seen he just looks too blobby and almost figureless after the wings and squid face.

Isn't Cthulhu supposed to be to horrible to comprehend?

Posted: Feb 01 2009 03:14 pm

Yeah, technically most everything in the Cthulhu mythos causes instant madness upon viewing since the human mind cannot comprehend what it's faced with, but that doesn't stop artists (including myself) from trying to capture them in ink or other mediums.

Ever since I saw this, I've wanted it even though I've long since dropped out of Clix.

Fuck I want a Cthulu

the creatures in the Cthulu mythos and the way they are referred too make them so damn intriguing.
