Nice figures, useful for lots of settings.
The creeping chap is reminiscent of an old figure I have from decades ago (Ral Partha or Asgard?) that I would like to build a unit of. Would be useful for SF too

Any chance you could shrink the Top Hat, if it is his old stuff it would certainly be smaller

They are fine I think. They look to be stooping slightly and if they were on plastic slotta type bases they'd be about 3mm higher anyway. I'm very tempted by these.

They would work if they were slightly taller too.

I vote make them slightly bigger and keep the top hat. I'd buy them.

Hey Nick, in your original post you mentioned a "small Cthulhu range", any hint of what else you might have planned for it? Been collecting since the original Grenadier figures came out so always interested in new Mythos offerings. And happy you decided to up the scale just a little, would have picked them up either way, but feel that will probably benefit them.
We haul ours to kick theirs.

I'm going to make the creatures that feature in Dracula's America Forbidden Power.
Dark Progeny- Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath.
Gibbering Spawn- Shoggoth.
Harrower- Nightgaunt.
Mycolyth- Mi-Go.
Planar Beast- Star Spawn of Cthullhu.
Planar Hound- Hound of Tindalos.
Spider-Fiend- Leng Spider.

Not going to do the mighty sized figures, I don't think we can better the Cthulhus available, in design or price, but these beasties above I think there's a gap in the market for (at least UK anyway).

Hey Nick, thanks for the reply, and as someone who has the majority of the Grenadier, RalPartha, Strange Aeons, Cthulhu Wars, Fenris and myriad figures from smaller lines I will definitely be adding these to my collection. And yeah, though not much impressed except for Cthulhu and Hastur went in on Death May Die too. Was suitably impressed by the Dracula range too, have planned on adding some of those to my Mythos collection. Honestly think you will do good wit what you have planned, your sculpts are always nice and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for keeping us diehard Mythos fans in mind and best of luck with these and all your upcoming ventures.

Seriously? They look brilliant. Could you show a picture next to a scale? They might be perfectly scaled for 20mm / old fashioned 25mm.

Ditto, the Hybrids match the quality of Rattrap for me.

Interesting.

There is a short story in (I think) a Chaosium collection about a US Marine (fresh from the "Banana Wars") being deployed as part of the clean up crew in Innsmouth in '27. These, some spawn, some "Church of Dagon" and some "Pulp" marines would make an interesting game.

I look forward to seeing the Mycolyth, space traveling aliens are usable in so many games (together with their grey puppets).

I like them! Very interested in filling in the gaps for the DA supplement too!
