Cthulhu: The Ancient One Tribute Box
This is a mass-produced collectible set inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, specifically part of the 'Running Press Miniature Editions' series. The set includes a hand-painted figurine of the cosmic entity Cthulhu, approximately 3 inches in height, housed in its original decorative 'Tribute Box'. The figurine is constructed from a cast resin or plastic material and finished with a dark, swampy green and grey patina to mimic weathered stone or ancient bronze. It features classic iconographic details: a cephalopod-like head with numerous tentacles, an anthropoid body with large talons, and bat-like wings folded behind. The figure sits atop a rectangular pedestal inscribed with cryptic, eldritch-style markings. The outer cardboard packaging features a grey, stone-textured aesthetic with the ominous phrase 'THE DREAMER WILL AWAKEN' printed at the top. The box mentions that it contains the figurine, a display stand, and a 48-page illustrated booklet. The condition appears to be excellent/near-mint, with the figure still securely housed in the original display window of the packaging. There are no visible chips, fading, or structurally significant wear on the box edges. This item dates to the 21st century (modern) and is a popular entry-level collectible for horror and literature enthusiasts.
