SOTA's Ultra Cthulhu
Monday, February 25, 2008
This June, SOTA Toys is set to release the most ambitious, detailed figurine yet in its striking Lovecraftian series: Ultra Cthulhu. Preliminary images of this resin statue look incredible. The mild liberty taken with Cthulhu's expanded wings (a slight departure from traditional depictions) actually comes off quite well. Great Cthulhu looks doubly ominous, and ready to unleash madness on the puny mortals of the world. SOTA's epic undertaking boasts of craftsmanship from their best sculptors and painters. Expectedly, this masterpiece takes everything to towering heights--including the pricetag. $250 US will net you this rare piece, testing collectors to prove their devotion with their wallets. Fortunately, the cost should be semi-reasonable for the Lovecraftian art collector, since this statue looks just good enough to qualify as genuine art, and not just a dressed up action figure.
