This bronze Cthulhu idol is brought to us by UK artist Nigel Quine-Bentley. As a side note, by my count this is the 100th finished Cthulhu idol featured here on Propnomicon. I'm amazed at the sheer number of variations artists have created.

The Golden Goblin
Joe Broers brings us an extremely obscure Mythos prop- the Golden Goblin. It's based on one of the fictional occult publishers invented by Lovecraft.
The original creation of Golden Goblin Press was a fictional publishing company in the Cthulhu Mythos. The publishing house first appeared in Robert E. Howard's short story "The Black Stone" (1931). Golden Goblin Press was founded in New York in 1908 by two brothers, Samuel and John Addleton, and was named after a small Native American figurine owned by one of the brothers. A story entitled “The Golden Goblins” which featured evil golden goblin idols was written by Manly Wade Wellman and published in Weird Tales, January, 1944.

Alien Fetus
This nicely done alien fetus is the handiwork of Lee Hartnup. It was formed from sculpting wax, which gives the skin a wonderful translucent effect.

Siberian Bloodworms
Nathan Shumate brings us some preserved Siberian Bloodworms. Two thoughts cross my mind given the number that have been captured. The first is that the small population of Siberia is perfectly understandable given how prolific they seem to be. The second, and more disturbing, is that someone is farming the things for sale to decadent westerners. Best not to muse on just how those specimens are being fed.

The Clarksville Specimen
Jacob Petersson's work has been featured here many times, but his latest project is a bit of a departure from his amazing fantasy specimens. This time he brings us the unfortunate pilot of a craft that was shot down near Clarksville, Kentucky by the the United States Air Force in 1948. As usual, Mr. Petersson has done a fantastic job on the supporting accessories for the central figure. That includes the clothing, or in this case the exo-suit.
