I thought I might share a few new images of these vintage horrors. First up, The Lesser Other God:

Here is the creature beside one of my recent 28mm Pulp Figures investigators for size comparison. My old human figs from the Call Of Cthulhu range are smaller, 25mm scale. Those figs are a bit tired and I’m not so happy with them anymore but the monsters from the range still hold up quite well I think. Hence, this thread.

My take on an Elder Thing from HPL’s At The Mountains Of Madness, done for the official Call Of Cthulhu range. Sculpted in about 1989 I think.

The second pic has a more recent Pulp Figure for size comparison.

Not just a great sculpt, but also a really good paint scheme. Much more fitting than some of the other colour schemes I’ve seen used on this model. Are any of your most recent Cthulhu monsters getting a UK release?

The mountaineer is also a lovely piece of work - I can see what you mean about some of the earlier humans that you sculpted for the RAFM range, they are a bit on the small size and hand and arms are sometimes a bit on the skinny size - still classic sculpts though! The style you use for pulp figures as seen here is very different and very distinctive - but totally identifiable as your work.

The Formless Spawn of Tsathoggua, lurking in the foul depth of the earth.

I picked up quite a few of your monster sculpts back in the 90's.  You would think I could have painted more of them by now.  lol

Nyarlathotep. I sculpted this version of The Crawling Chaos in the early 90s. It has three legs, one not being visible in the picture. I’ve never done Nyarlathotep’s human avatar. I might have to rectify that.
