Another new KS vying for your money. I really love this one. The execution of it, with the packaging and everything is superb.
(Mods, I wasn't totally sure where to put this, so please move if you think another category is more appropriate.)

It's funny... I've gone the other direction. Oh, I still like an articulated figure now and again. But, to be honest, there's a beauty and simplicity in 5 POA that can really get lost when so much articulation is put in. I also like that they actually got Eddy Mosqueda (who did a lot of sculpting for MOTU and other lines) and Ken Kelly to do the art!

oh don't get me wrong. it's really cool, but not my cup of tea. and if i was a MOC guy, i'd be all over these. but i'm not much for that any more.

Very cool!
I wish somebody would one day properly tackle a Lovecraft story and make it into a movie. It should be all about atmospheric horror and dread.

The sad part is we got INCREDIBLY close with del Toro's take on it.

I might need to go in on this. Not enough good Lovecraftian collectibles.

Stop posting cool stuff!

I'm not even that big of a Lovecraft fan, and even I'm tempted to pull the trigger. (I want that coloring book, darn it!) I had some of the old D&D figures back in the day... If only Timiat had survived. It'd be worth a fortune if nothing else.

I do think it's funny they are doing Dark Dungeons. But will it be as good as Mazes and Monsters?



They just showed off the Cultist's accessories! Now I want two more to flank the leader with, wearing their masks!

Re: Legends of Cthulhu Retro Action Figure KS

I like those a lot, but $50 extra for international shipping is a deal breaker for me.

And... BOOM! Funded!

Kickstarted-exclusive stretch goal! Once they hit $65,000, any level above Cultist level automatically gets Conjured Cthulhu!

Re: Legends of Cthulhu Retro Action Figure KS

Now that the goal has been met, you're going to see the rest of the levels closing out quick. I'm almost tempted to buy another set.

I'm in for the Cultist Level and the Ultimate Collector level. I really wanted a set to keep MOC. I don't usually do that. But these are too cool. They seem to be talking about doing some army builder levels. If they aren't HUGE army building sets, then I'd be tempted to get the Cultist and Deep One sets.

The Cthulhu idol that comes with The Professor is looking cool:
