Rondo Hatton Awards

Wow were we late on posting these results, lol. Better late than never, here are the results for the 12th Annual Rondo Hatton Awards. 

For the uninitiated the "Rondo's" are a fan based awards show that real people vote in all of the Horror categories from magazine covers (ie Rue Morgue,Fangoria,etc) to DVD Horror Collections, modelling, Horror Hosts (Svenghoulie,Elvira,etc) to the actual Horror Movies.

As well the Rondo's fill the gap that various mainstream awards just are too afraid to handle, because they are cowardly sniveling rats! lol.

Cthulhu Mythos Retro Action figures.

Turns out there is a kickstarter campaign (love these things!) to get Cthulu action figures made.
Sign me up!

The Legends of Cthulu series of action figures look amazing and will be made by WARPO toys.
"June 9th, 2014 – At 8 a.m. Warpo has officially launched our first Kickstarter for “Legends of Cthulhu”, the first retro styled 3.75″ action figure line based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft."

From what I can see these guys know their material and are fans of the Call of Cthulu RPG's from the 80's and Dungeons and Dragons and are passionate about getting it right. Interestingly the figures put me in mind of the Dungeons and Dragons toys from that time (which the Kount and I were HUGE fans). For further authenticity the team had hired Eddie Mosqueda (of 80s Mattel and TMNT Fig fame)There is also a Pinterest page here
