CHICAGO, IL (November 2, 2015): Warpo, creators of the Legends of Cthulhu action figures, announce today the highly anticipated, extra-large 12” Cthulhu retro action figure is now available at toy and hobby shops nationwide.

The 12” Cthulhu Standard Edition, along with the Previews Exclusive Glow in the Dark Edition releasing next week, is the cornerstone of the Legends of Cthulhu collection, with 7 points of articulation and pliable “gripping hands” suited for grasping 3.75” action figures and sending them to their doom. The 12” Cthulhu figure is packaged in an early 1980s-style, full-color box, featuring a brand new painting by the masterful artist Ken Kelly.

To celebrate the launch of the 12” Cthulhu, Warpo releases today the third and final part of the 12” Cthulhu commercial series.

In further Warpo news, the company announces today it has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Diamond Comic Distributors. Diamond will represent and sell Warpo toys to thousands of retail stores worldwide.

"The deal with Diamond is going to make Warpo toys available to a larger global audience, and we’re so thrilled to be aligned with such an incredible partner."
