Regarding shipping costs, you need to use their "pledge calculator" (linked to in the main KS campaign page)
And you won't like what you see once you do :?

With the caveat that I only calculated for the Shub-Niggurath and another small set so the postage will probably not double the price for the larger sets. Did kill my personal interest in taking part tho.

Can't say I really like any of these, while technically good - they all have legs. I hate legs on mythos creatures.

Can't say they're to my taste either (Dagon's human arm muscles...
). Good for everyone to have more options, I suppose, but I've yet to see any Cthulhu creature sculpts from any company that come close to working for me. Always either poorly sculpted, too unimaginatively chimeric (literal goat legs... gawd), or too cartoony. Usually at least two, too often all three.
History viewed from the inside is always a dark, digestive mess, far different from the easily recognizable cow viewed from afar by historians.

While I picked up the Bones Cthulhu from the first campaign (afterwords) and only pledged for the Cthonian-ish GOO during the second campaign on this one I also gave a pass not being particularly impressed by any of the sculpts aside from the Cthulhu statue which I'll probably pick up later. The Shub and the Dagon were pretty disappointing to me (and I won't even start on the Dark Young.) Choice is great to have but I'm more than happy with my Cthulhu Wars versions so far.
We haul ours to kick theirs.

Theres been a few models, but for the most part I completely agree with you - most are boring and unimagive and they always focus on damn cthulhu and deep ones (yawn) - the litteral goat legs are as annoying as when they make hounds of tindalos "litteral" hounds too. Shame considering theres so much great artwork out there to draw from too. If I ever get the time (ha!) maybe ill do my own mythos game.
