Cthulhu Model Kit by Gecco

Posted on June 3, 2016 at 8:44 am by Joe Moore under Horror Toy News

“In his house at R’lyeh dead C’thulhu waits dreaming.”

Fans of H.P. Lovecraft know that phrase all too well. It is spoken by the cult of Cthulhu in the classic short story “The Call of Cthulhu“. Fans have been treated to some fantastic collectibles of the ancient cosmic deity. Now, H.P. Lovecraft’s most iconic creature is getting a new collectible from Gecco.

Pre-orders are live now via Gecco Direct. They has released photos and new info for their upcoming Cthulhu Resin Model Kit. This unpainted and unassembled model kit (aka a garage kit) was designed by artist Paul Komoda. It stands just over 6.6″ tall when fully assembled. It is priced at $199.99 and should ship out later this month. Keep in mind, you will need some painting and modeling skills to complete this kit.

You can see some photos of the model kit by reading on.

    It's amazing to me how popular Cthulhu has become in the last few years. I was introduced to Lovecraft's works back in the late 80's (as a kid) along with his close friend, Robert E Howard (Conan). I was in a dark place then. Brooding, melancholy, and a bit aggressive; all typical traits of a teen traversing puberty. I still have a fondness for Lovecraft's stuff, but I find it curious that the figurehead of his dark pantheon is gaining traction within pop-culture. I'm not sure at exactly what this says about the current climate of society, but it's quite interesting that more and more people are drawn to this literature and the concepts it revolves around. Maybe Lovecraft's dark god is calling out to his tractable souls..."buy my shit and together we will drag the world into darkness."

    ...anyway, very cool statue...wish it were a 20" fig though.

    DST is actually releasing a pretty large scale action figure. Still waiting on details for it.

    Or: I've never read Lovecraft's stuff...but I heard it's supposed to be cool. Hey, it's Godzilla with wings and tentacles, what's not to love!?! Having that on my desk will make me seem more edumacated.

    Well, ok then! That I can get behind. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

    @Cyclopswc
    His books were very, very cool! Not sure how 'ejumicated' anyone would seem with this on their desk. His works were always considered to be pulp and better suited as gateways of interest for teen-readers who were ignorant of the splendors of the literary world.

    Cthulhu > Godzilla

    Funny bit, that's kind of how I got into it too with help from my dad. I was into Clive Barker in the late 80's myself and My dad suggested I read one of his favorites. What is odd about it all is how forward-thinking Lovecraft was in his pantheon (not in his social views/relations) and how rare it is that other people, "get it." Far too often his writings have been given over to the mass-accepted fear of Satanism or occultism which is faaaaar from what he was trying to convey.
    I attend the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival practically every year just to see how many people have been influenced by his work and, yes, Cthulhu gets all the attention but there are so many other interesting writings he did.
    As far as the sculpt, a very beautiful rendition of the old fellow. As my hobby I am always more inclined toward action figures rather then static statues but this has a very pleasing symmetry and I think one of the better renditions of Cthulhu I've seen in a while, the last one of note was Siderzero's rendition of the idol (enter: spiderzero cthulhu spawn" if you would like to see it.

    I never realized they were supposed to be aliens I have read the books but was reading up on stuff.

    I liked Barker for similar reasons to Lovecraft! Weird aside...you ever play the Lovecraft table-top game?

    @jestermon

    Some were aliens and others were extra-dimensional beings...and of course, there were the old ones. Sometimes I wonder if Richard Dawkins was a fan of Lovecraft given his writings about the human tendency to worship what we can't explain. Hah!

    Probably not gonna drop over $100 on something I have to assemble and paint myself, but a cool find for model people. I wish they'd do 6 inch scaleish Lovecraft beasts. Kinda niche, but if creatureplica can find a market, I'd gladly pay those kinds of prices for some unthinkable horrors.

    I remember getting a compendium of Lovecraft stories and related fiction when I was in 7th grade from the library, "Haunter of The Dark" and "Notebook Found in a Deserted House" still capture me like they did then.

    Oh yeah. It's been a while, I haven't gotten to play a "proper" game since the mid 90's but I remember how different it was from other systems I had played before that allowed you to become better and more powerful the more you played but with that system, once you got done making your character, that's as good as it gets. After that it's all downhill and you just hope you go out with an interesting and memorable end. I remember it being very influential in changing my views of what a story's protagonist is, they don't always have to win in the end.

    Also, the Lovecraft film festival I go to, Jason Soles is almost always there selling his personal wares in the dealers room and he's the guy who did the cover for the old WoTC D20 Call of Cthulhu source book for Dungeons and Dragons...

    Call of Cthulhu (d20 Edition Horror Roleplaying, WotC): Monte Cook, John Tynes: 9780786926398: Amazon.com: Books

    And every-once-in-a-while I get asked to do something Lovecraftian influenced for someone...

    First, allow me to thank you for providing a link to your sculptures. You are extremely talented. The sheer number of creative people on this site never ceases to amaze.

    Call of Cthulhu...I'd forgotten the name and appreciate the reminder. I played 3-4 games with a couple of D&D buddies that introduced it to me in the 90's. It was a logical progression; we went from D&D, to Dark Sun, to Ravenloft, and ended up at Cthulhu... The games I played were all enjoyable. I loved the idea of "sanity checks"...and being a pretty cynical and somewhat dour personality-type, I loved the 'doom and gloom' endings. In most real life perilous situations, the "protagonist" doesn't usually make it. I also got a hoot from the character classes: 'nurse,' 'reporter,' 'detective,' 'jock,' and so on...the pedestrian nature of who you played as immediately heightened the fear-factor. haha! Thanks for engaging me in this convo, it's brought up fond memories!

    Thank you for the compliment, I'm an OK sculptor so at least it keeps the rent paid so far but there are tons far better then me.

    The system I first started on was the Chaosium RPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_o...e-playing_game) and I remember the first time I was at a session the players were dropping off like flies, and with total glee! Everyone would be cackling at the horrid way their characters died and then they would whip-up a new one and jump back in. Afterwards the players would be congratulating each other on their glorious demise and who got it the worst.
    So far none of my friends are interested in that style of game, they play RPG's to win at something and feel superior so all my Lovecraft stuff gathers dust. But Paizo will be releasing a horror themed expansion book for Pathfinder paizo.com - Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Horror Adventures (PFRPG) Hardcover that is supposed to introduce some of the CoC style playing with stuff like sanity points for characters. And Chaosium is still producing the original CoC system and just had a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund their 7th edition. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...on/description
