Just another nerd.
Okay, I get it. The ever-talented Emily Blunt had been cast to play Black Widow in Iron Man 2, but someone exercised a clause in a previous contract to bump her to do a different movie. That’s how Holywood works. I get it.
But couldn’t they have gone out and hired an actress to replace Blunt instead of getting Scarlett Johansson? ZOMG WTF
Todd Franklin over at Neato Coolville posted a scan of this awesome 1965 ad for Great Books (one of those companies that resells public domain classics at ridiculous prices in crappy-looking leatherbound editions).
Of course the problem in the 1960s was that kids were reading comics (hmm…apparently they weren’t looking at sales figures for comics in the mid-1960s) rather than the classics. Of course many of those classics are filled with the sort of sex and violence that would never have made it into Comics Code-era comics.
Intended for use in its Call of Cthulhu CCG, Fantasy Flight Games will be releasing its Bag of Cthulhu in April.
First introduced in our Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Core Set, we are making available this April our Bag of Cthulhu. Included in the Bag of Cthulhu, are six large Cthulhu figures (55mm) and 24 small figures (20mm). These miniature statues of Cthulhu are beautifully carved accessories that can be used as extra domain markers and success tokens for your Call of Cthulhu LCG games, or they can be used to ornament any game which incorporates eldritch horror.
Unlike the six specimens found in the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Core Set, the figures in the Bag of Cthulhu have been delicately inkwashed to ensure that you can spot every non-euclidian detail of these little gems.
These things look pretty cool for just $14.95 for the 6 large and 24 small figures,
