Warpo Toys exploded onto the scene in 2014 with wildly success Kickstarter for their initial toy line, Legends of Cthulhu. Marrying H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos and the vintage look of beloved action figure lines of yesteryear, the figure line looks like the best forgotten toy line of the 70s and 80s.
Warpo has gone far beyond their Kickstarter goals and the Legends of Cthulhu, as the line is now available from Diamond Distrubitors and BigBadToyStore.com for roughly 20 dollars per figure.
What’s next for the “Great Old One’s” retro figure line? Warpo is looking to go big, 12″ to be exact. Following the current trend of classic figures being presented in larger scales, we will see Cthulhu grow from 3.75” scale of the current line to beautiful foot tall figure. The figure will debut at a $100 price point and will be unviled at this weekend’s New York Toy Fair.
