By “terrible,” I mean “fearsome and awesome in nature, evil and vile, to be dreaded and scorned.” And who else fits that bill but Kanye West Cthulhu?

Not only are these mostly homemade plush and stuffed Cthulhu items amazing, the ski hat may be the coolest thing going. Just remember, like Mr. Blog always says: “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!” And next time you’re in Innsmouth, tell ’em Mr. Blog sent ya!

The Saturday Seen That: Revell Monster Kits

September 14, 2013revell

I saw these two kits at Toys R Us and I had to have them. They are reissues of classic kits I built as a kid in the 1970’s. Although these were the only 2 in the store, the line also contained Frankenstein and Dracula but some peeking around online showed that TRU only carried these two. I have no clue if the others were reissued but if the were, I want them. As a kid I built all the monster models, including the glow in the dark versions, like Godzilla with his glowing hands and scales. So when I saw them on the shelf I snatched them up and ran to the register. Best part? They were on clearance- 50% off! I got them for $5.98 each! Not a bad price for a piece of my childhood.
