The Case of the Weeping Warthog

Cryptozoological Playset

AlanDP over at Blogonomicon (http://blogonomicon.blogspot.com/) has brought to my attention that Accoutrements is bringing out a set of cryptid figures in February. The Cryptozoological Playset will include five of the all-time great mysterious monsters: Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster (in three segments), Mothman, the Jersey Devil, and a Chupacabra. These figures appear not to be action toys, but single molded PVC figures. The Bigfoot bears a very close resemblance to their scuplt of the Bigfoot action figure, which included an inkpad and a footprint shaped stamp on the bottom of it's feet for making the famous tracks. The price is $14.99, and they are available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth (http://entertainmentearth.com/).

Also in the news at Entertainment Earth: they've pushed back the release for the new Kingdom Hearts figures to February.
