Tales of the Plush Chtulhu

Evidently, if you like smashing stuffies into tales of beyond the stars, there's a whole genre:
cute abominations and others;

• hello cthulhu;


• pokethulhu;


• yes, virginia, there is a cthulhu.

What (or who) the hell's Cthulhu? A fictional creation of H. P. Lovecraft. Here's some FAQ

I caught those toys a little while back; Goddess only knows what I was searching forwhen I found 'em.
I found HPL when I was a kid, back in the 60's when the Arkham House editions were the only ones in print. Then Ballantine started reprinting, and I lost exclusivity in my appreciation.
I love New England because I read HPL when I was a kid. Creepy, huh?
