Title: [KICKSTARTER] Yet another Cthulhu crowdfunding: Stephen Hickman's idol
Post by: achab on March 21, 2020, 07:16:00 AM
Not exactly a miniature, but a nice addition to any gaming table that could also be used as a piece of terrain:

This is a new version of a statue edited by Bowen Designs which fetches obscene prices on auction sites (one is currently offered for $800). The sculpt on the new one is arguably more delicate.

Eh, nice, but not $250 nice. Have a  lot of Cthulhu statues and figures but will pass on this.

$250 seems pretty obscene to me.

From a hobby perspective, I was surprised there was no mention of materials nor casting process.  But I guess that's a different market with different priorities and concerns.

The campaign didn't reach its funding goal, but it has been relaunched: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lovecraft-hickman/lovecrafts-cthulhu-a-statue-sculpted-by-stephen-hickman (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lovecraft-hickman/lovecrafts-cthulhu-a-statue-sculpted-by-stephen-hickman).

Wow, I have the original on an end table.  I had no idea it was worth so much!
