I just wanted to point out you can get them cheaper on eBay.I only paid $5 each for my Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep and Shoggoth dolls. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

Yes, I think the point is that they're life-sized Cthulhu dolls. You can't find many of those around anymore.

Cthulhu was a character for one of HP Lovecrafts stories if I remember correctly... right?

Indeed.Check out the link the Google ads brought up..."Warehouse 23"...I'm guessing they did their research to come up with that number. They have a gratuitous Hyperborea reference in this toy of theirs.Ryan, am I wrong, or did they mess up their shoggoth? Theirs seems to be more of an Elder Thing - shoggoths don't look like that. We should write and complain and get a Golden Stalin award like Stefu.

I have no idea where they associated an ice dragon with Hyperborea. HPL referred to Hyperborea as being north of Leng, atop the Mountains of Madness in Antarctica.The Elder Ones have a barrel-shaped body with protruding tentacles and starfish-like feet. Their eye stalks were also starfish-like (recall the eldritch symbol). They look like this.The shoggoths, which were slaves of the Elder Ones (albeit rebelling slaves), were amorphous and could assume many shapes. I seem to recall them being referred to like a big amoeba. So yeah, the doll is actually vaguely correct. Nyarlathotep is the doll that actually doesn't match HPL's description. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.
