Diamond Now the Exclusive Distributor for Warpo Toys

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Diamond Comic Distributors has announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with retro-inspired toy company Warpo, making Diamond the exclusive worldwide distributor of Warpo’s merchandise product lines within the comic book specialty market and other select online and specialty retailers.

Warpo’s first line of toys, the Legends of Cthulhu 3.75” action figures, were the result of a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding effort. Warpo’s line of collectibles has expanded with the release of the 12” classic and Glow in the Dark edition Cthulhu figure and is looking to expand its merchandise offerings in the future to include a variety of playsets and plush toys.

Diamond will support Warpo launches through its monthly PREVIEWS catalog, innovative programs to its retailer partners, and other unique marketing and distribution services.

Warpo is a regular fixture on the convention circuit since their Kickstarter, and their booth is consistently hopping when I pass it. Congrats to both.

Professor in Peril! Cthulhu is coming…

Posted on September 12, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Warpo, creators of the Legends of Cthulhu action figures, have released part two of three of Cthulhu: The Great Old One, their retro commercial series for the forthcoming 12” Cthulhu figure.

In keeping with the company’s method manufacturing, the process of development by which Team Warpo creates everything with the mindset and methods of the late 1970s to mid-1980s, the commercial series was created with the look and feel of being an “uploaded artifact” from the era – a rip from an old VHS tape that was used over and over again to capture storylines for the sandbox adventures of childhood.

The 12” Cthulhu figure releases autumn 2015, and is available for pre-order now on Big Bad Toy Store, along with the very limited edition Glow in the Dark 12” Cthulhu.

Lovecraft.

Lovecraft’s stories and characters on popular culture and their work. The panel will hold some fantastic surprises, prizes, and will culminate with a live séance conducted by Brandon Hodge to entice Lovecraft himself to join the festivities.

Gen Con attendees will want to visit the Warpo booth (#2939 in the Exhibit Hall), where they will be greeted by the mighty Cthulhu himself, get their picture taken in front of the giant photo wall than puts them inside their own action figure packaging, and collect all four free daily Legends of Cthulhu buttons. Gen Con fans will also get their first look at the new 12” Cthulhu Standard Edition, 12” Cthulhu Glow in the Dark Edition, and the Legends of Cthulhu Collector Club Kit, all of which will be on display in the Warpo booth, and the full line of Legends of Cthulhu 3.75” action figures and select Kickstarter premiums, such as the LoC coloring book and posters, will be available for purchase.

Warpo’s costumed Cthulhu will be making his way around Gen Con, as well as hanging out in the Warpo booth, providing an opportunity for fans to take and post a pic to social media, with the hashtag #CthulhuIsComing. One lucky winner will be chosen from the social media feeds each day to win one of the Signature Series Legends of Cthulhu figures, and in the final drawing on Saturday, a chance to win the one-of-a-kind 12” Cthulhu Glow in the Dark Edition prototype.
