Wow, what a great price! I paid about $35 for mine, and I thought I got a great deal. The only downside to having mine is that my grandaughter is deathly afraid of it. Not how I wanted to introduce her to gaming...  :'(

I bought mine the moment is came out, foolish little me.  I tried it out for the Horrorclix game, the big C isn't that impressive.  There's some serious balance issues with the model itself, methinks I'd be happier with one of the DeSota actions figures myself.

So that's what the horrorclicks version looks like. Now I know what everyone has to have one.

I was a dope and believed all the "limited edition" bs, and bought one immediately.  Was quite disappointed, mine is badly out of balance, leaning way back and over to one side on its base.  Eventually fell off the bookshelf and broke off both of the wings.  hard to pin wings that big, and the body is still badly off-balance on the base.  Wish I'd waited for a $20 version.

Very nice, and quite a bargain.

Still possibly too small, though, even to use with 2mm!

Ugh, I paid full price for mine when it was new, and one of the wings and the tip of the tail have since been broken off.  I still need to pin them correctly to get them to work, but it *is* a great looking sculpt.  Just a bit off balance.

Heh! In my imagination, a true 28mm scale Cthulhu would be around 60 feet tall, a 6mm one maybe about the size of a real person. This figure seems about right for a 28mm Star Spawn, to me at least. Gaming stuff tends to get more and more foreshortened the bigger it is in relation to a human though, so if you had to have the big C show up on your table, a much smaller model would do.

Then again, WH40K guys can put Titans on their 30mm tabletop these days, so "smaller" doesn't have to mean "small" :D.
