Egads, am I insane?
« on: July 18, 2006, 06:19:29 PM »
I don't know what possessed me...but I 'won' a CTHULHU Horror clix Ebay auction the other day....haven't gotten him yet, but he is soon coming...(or at least that is what the cultists in the nieghborhood keep chanting)...


If you haven't seen this guy yet...just type Cthulhu Horror Clix into ebay to see what I mean....I can't wait to see him in the flesh, but I haven't a clue what I will really do with it.  I am sure he will end up locked away and gathering dust....

Run a Cthulhu game and just leave him sitting next to the board. When players ask what he's for, just say, "You'll see."

Then never pull him out. It will drive them INSANE all game.

I got one off of Ebay also...it is truley awesome in person. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet.
I have a vague idea for a summoning scenario. Investigators vs. Cultists. The Investigators have a time limit (possibly random) to stop the summoning ritual. If they fail this, they must try to fight Cthulhu.... :o

Great replies!!  I love the 'just leave him standing there' idea.


That comic is hilarious...we should go door to door with our suits on and hand those out...can you imagine?


So, to those who do have one....Do you think it needs to be repainted?  I am only imagining the paint job my heroclix have and am dreading it....

There's no way I would try to repaint mine. While the paint is not as good as a lot of the people on these baords could do, its a lot better than regular clix figs.
Also, the body is more rubbery than normal clix. I think it would be tough to get paint to stick

Urgh. I hate this soft plastic the Clix are made from. If they'd be more like normal miniatures I'd buy them more likely.

I hate this soft plastic too. The best is when you leave these minis under the sun for too long. They get soft....later they dry out and you can easily break the limps off....I think thats a good idea to get rid of all these evil Cthuloid creatures  :)

P.S. Beware of the sun !!!!

Fhtagn! This incarnation of the great Cthulhu himself is really looking very nice. Damn that it is one of this Clix minis. This one made of wood or stone would be great for my bookshelf.

Actually...if that darn Ebay seller doesn't ship this pretty soon I may actually go insane...

The post lady doesn't like me standing at the mailbox with a deranged look on my face everyday....I think she is scared!

I have seen this at a local dealer today. Very beatiful and larger than I thought.
Later I visited the other shop in town. And there he was again, standing on the desk and staring at me.
I think he's following me.

I had him sitting on my night stand near my bed.

Later in the evening, when I went to the restroom, I noticed he was facing the other direction.

I put a towel over him and moved him to the closet, but I swear I hear strange chanting in there....
