"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

By Guest, in News

cthulhu-figure(1).png The Call of Cthulhu is among H.P. Lovecraft's most well-known stories and encapsulates, in one short work of fiction, the themes that had been building in his work prior to its original publication in 1928 and would continue to permeate his work until his death in 1937.

In this story, the appearance of Cthulhu is described for the first time:

"[A] monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. ... The cephalopod head was bent forward, so that the ends of the facial feelers brushed the backs of huge fore paws which clasped the croucher's elevated knees. The aspect of the whole was abnormally life-like, and more subtly fearful because its source was so totally unknown."

It is from this description that we at FFG have created our own miniature Cthulhu figure. First introduced in our Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Core Set, we are making available this April our Bag of Cthulhu . Included in the Bag of Cthulhu , are six large Cthulhu figures (55mm) and 24 small figures (20mm). These miniature statues of Cthulhu are beautifully carved accessories that can be used as extra domain markers and success tokens for your Call of Cthulhu LCG games, or they can be used to ornament any game which incorporates eldritch horror.

This April, the stars are right and Cthulhu and his star-spawn descend on your friendly local game and hobby store...
