[The Lovecraftian Collector] More Cthulhu Idols

I wanted to share a few more pieces from my Lovecraftian prop collection. Here is a picture of all of my Cthulhu statues and busts grouped together:

From left to right:
  • Bob Maurus sculpture.
  • This small bust was sculpted by A.S. Koi over at Catalyst Studios. This is one of my favorites, simply because of the shape and style of the piece. Very unique.
  • (Large/In the back) I purchased this one on eBay five or six years ago, and unfortunately I do not know the sculptor's name. Interestingly, this idol is one of the lightest pieces in my collection, despite it's size. Of all of my Cthulhu sculptures this one is the most traditional, and adheres to the description of the idol given in Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu."
  • (Small/In the front) This was another eBay purchase. I really love that this piece looks like it could have been be found in the dense jungles of South America. I am not sure who sculpted this one.
  • Another one by Catalyst Studios, but this time I am not sure who sculpted this one. I would say, out of all the pieces shown here this is my least favorite.
  • This last one I purchased from ToyVault. This one is titled Cthulhu Lives! and it looks like it is out of print and no longer being offered. Unfortunately, I do not know the sculptor's name. Cthulhu practicing transcendental meditation is always cool!
I feel bad that I cannot credit all of the sculptors for their work. If anyone has additional information about these pieces please share.
