My Little Cthulhu is a seriously cute yet dark and brooding figure based on the major figure within the cult mythos created by H.P Lovecraft. Cthulhu is an entity which first appeared in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu" when it was published in Weird Tales in 1928. He (it ?) is one of the Great Old Ones and is described as being of huge size, having a hideous appearance and evoking terror in the hearts of all who see him.

My Little Cthulhu takes the horror of Cthulhu and turns it’s into a strange, eccentric and cutesy vinyl figure which is 8” in height. It is beautifully constructed with a very large head from which sprouts three tentacles. It has little beady eyes and two arms which have been made to hold its victims, who can be torn into three pieces. Two horrified victims come in the pack, you can purchase more separately. My Little Cthulhu comes in bright green and has yellow markings on his back and front as well as two small wings.
