PROFESSOR IN PERIL IN PART TWO OF CTHULHU: THE GREAT OLD ONE, RETRO COMMERCIAL SERIES FROM WARPO

CHICAGO, IL (September 2015): Warpo, creators of the Legends of Cthulhu action figures, today release part two of three of Cthulhu: The Great Old One, their retro commercial series for the forthcoming 12” Cthulhu figure.

In keeping with the company’s method manufacturing, the process of development by which Team Warpo creates everything with the mindset and methods of the late 1970s to mid-1980s, the commercial series was created with the look and feel of being an “uploaded artifact” from the era – a rip from an old VHS tape that was used over and over again to capture storylines for the sandbox adventures of childhood.
