GECCO Unleashes Cthulhu Mythos Great Old One Giant Statue
Japanese collectible brand GECCO has announced its latest addition to its line of high-end statues: the “Cthulhu Mythos Great Old One Cthulhu Giant Statue.” Designed by renowned sculptor Paul Komoda, this massive piece celebrates H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary mythos and will be released between August and October 2025, with a reference price of 168,000 yen (approximately $1,275).
This highly detailed figure pays homage to the enduring influence of the Cthulhu Mythos. This fictional mythos has captivated readers, gamers, and creators for generations with its themes of ancient unknowable beings and cosmic terror.
Lovecraft’s Legacy: The Great Old Ones
The Cthulhu Mythos, created by H.P. Lovecraft, depicts an interconnected universe filled with ancient deities whose mere presence can drive humans to madness. Among these deities, Cthulhu is one of the most iconic. Described as part dragon, octopus, and humanoid, Cthulhu is a Great Old One that lies dormant in the sunken city of R’lyeh, waiting to awaken and bring unspeakable chaos to the world.
Through the years, Lovecraft’s mythos have inspired an extensive range of novels, comics, video games, and films, gaining a passionate fan base worldwide.
Paul Komoda’s Vision of Terror
Renowned artist Paul Komoda, known for his surreal and grotesque creature designs, interprets Cthulhu with stunning creativity in this statue. Hand-sculpted by Shinya Yamaoka, the figure emphasizes the fluid, organic qualities of Cthulhu’s monstrous form, drawing inspiration from sea creatures with soft yet unsettling biological textures.
Standing at approximately 40 cm (around 15.75 inches) in both height and width, the statue’s structure is packed with unnerving details—tentacles, jagged claws, and dense textures that evoke feelings of discomfort and dread, perfectly capturing the fearsome nature of cosmic horror.
R’lyeh-Inspired Base and Lovecraft Tribute
The statue’s base draws inspiration from R’lyeh, Cthulhu’s sunken and incomprehensibly ancient city in the South Pacific. Sculpted as a crumbling, weathered stone structure, it reflects Lovecraft’s descriptions of the ancient, cyclopean architecture of the Great Old Ones.
In a respectful nod to Lovecraft’s literary legacy, the base also features a detailed bust of H.P. Lovecraft, depicting him with a thoughtful yet uneasy expression—a subtle acknowledgment of his role as the creator of this cosmic horror mythos.
Preorder Exclusive Bonus
For collectors who preorder the statue, GECCO includes a unique alternate head accessory depicting Lovecraft transformed by cosmic terror into a demonic entity. This unique addition offers fans of the mythos a chilling reminder of Lovecraft’s theme that madness and transformation often accompany a brush with the unknown.
