Legends Of Cthulhu Retro Action Figures To Debut At SDCC

Diamond Comic Distributors is partnering with Warpo to bring the indie action figure company's Legends of Cthulhu line of retro-styled action figures to San Diego Comic-Con.

Legends of Cthulhu is a four-figure retro action figure line featuring archetypal characters from the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft – The Professor, The Cultist, The Deep One, and Spawn of Cthulhu. The figures were created using Warpo's Method Manufacturing, which uses era-specific processes to create authentic, retro toys with distinct artisanal, collectible quality. By enlisting sculptor Eddy Mosqueda (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Masters of the Universe), and artist Ken Kelly (Micronauts, Manglor Mountain, KISS' Destroyer album cover), Legends of Cthulhu captures the look and feel of the beloved action figures from the 1970s and 1980s.

Each figure stands 3.75" tall, has 5 points of articulation, and comes with accessories. Figures will come packaged in a nostalgic, retail-exclusive blister-card featuring original painted artwork by artist Kelly.

At Comic-Con, Diamond will debut the Legends of Cthulhu collectibles at the PREVIEWSworld booth #2401 from July 23-27, in addition to featuring Warpo's retro-style TV commercial. This will be time that fans can see the figures up-close after Warpo's successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised its initial fundraising goal of $60,000 in three days, and went on to raise more than double that amount.

The Legends of Cthulhu line will be including in the September 2014 issue of PREVIEWS, making them available at retail for the first time.
