Reaper Bones Cthulhu preview

[obsidian3d]

Sorta like a weird new take on the "Debbie Does..." series of adult films; "Reaper Bones..."!

Did i just hear somebody say; "sweet baby Jesus"? And who's that fellow standing there?

[beefcake]

Now I'm laughing whenever I see this title. Somehow I don't think Cthulhu would stand for it maybe lie down though?

Well, they do say he sleeps rather deeply in his house in R'Lyeh...

Actually it reminds me of Japanese Henti (if I spelled it right), Reaper Bones Cthulu...bones, tentacles and all kinds of crazy stuff in weird sex acts...

Not really thrilled with the sculpt myself, but I assume there's still quite a bit of work to be done on it.  At least the bones material should make reposing/converting the fig easy.

Kind of hoping that Troll Forged's not-Cthulhu "Overlord" turns out cooler looking, but we're still waiting on teaser art for it.  He's certainly got some other lovely nasties in the line so far:

Those parasitized alien hosts are one of the most wonderfully awful things I've ever seen.

I'll be getting this as well, as it's cheap as all get out, but it does have a 'man in a rubber suit' vibe to it.

And the investigator empties his pistol into the monstrosity for 2 D 6 effect!

If it gets funded (pretty likely) lives up to the concept art (again, pretty likely) I think I'm going to like this one a lot better than the Bones one:

Comes out to between $30 and $45 during the Kickstarter, which isn't half bad for a 6-8" tall model on a 120mm base.  You'll even get one "free" as part of the $200 pledge level, along with over 100 other figs, some nearly as big.

Still, nice to have more Big C models to choose from.  I have this mad dream of running an All-Cthulhu Deathmatch Arena multiplayer game at a con some day.

I like the Reaper Cthulu, the size of the wings and the rubber suit look don't matter - it was only $10!!!

It may quiet well be a better sculpt, yes, but it's also looking like it's going to be a lot more expensive and likely it'll also be less readily available in Europe so it's a bit academic for me personally.

As to the likeness as per concepts, the body of the "Overlord" with its bony plates appears more Tyranid-like than I would really prefer and the wings are on the large side for being "vestigal". But as mentioned already in this thread, the original description is based almost solely on the Cthulhu idol so that does leave the details open to interpretion.
