Cthulhu (Neon Green)

The Cthulhu Pop! vinyl figure, identified as number 3 in the Pop! Books series, was released by Funko to pay homage to the legendary cosmic entity created by H.P. Lovecraft. As part of the company's early expansion into literary icons, this figure reimagines the Great Old One—first introduced in the 1928 short story The Call of Cthulhu—within the distinct, wide-eyed aesthetic that defines the Pop! line. The design balances Lovecraft's terrifying descriptions of cephalopod-like features and wings with a stylized, collectible form that made the character accessible to a new generation of horror enthusiasts.

The neon green variant serves as a vivid departure from the standard color palette, leaning into the pulp-horror sensibilities of mid-century science fiction and the vibrant, often supernatural glow associated with eldritch lore. Upon its release, the figure was met with enthusiasm from collectors of both literary memorabilia and pop-culture toys, quickly becoming a staple for fans of the Cthulhu Mythos. Its creation reflects Funko's broader mission to bridge the gap between classic dark literature and contemporary plastic culture through a playful, highly recognizable visual language.
