My favorite of the two is the first Octorilla, but I like the second one almost as much, just not as an Octorilla, maybe some other kind of mythos-spawned nightmare.
Thanks for all the comments everyone! In retrospect I think they are both cool, just serve different purposes! : ) I'm having to resist ordering the top one, I've got tons of unpainted lead as it is!
I approve of all gorillas, octopuses, and chimera thereof.
ReplyDeleteFrom this angle, the Dreamblade kind of just looks like an ape wearing a fashionable Chapeau des Tentacules.

ReplyDeleteThe new version looks like pure Harryhausen. I prefer the Dreamblade one, myself. It somehow seems more alien and yes, Lovecraftian.

The first one can also double as Cryonax in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteI love the top mini which is of one of my favorite monsters! Awesome post for an almost forgotten monster!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the second one is more Lovecraftian, but the first one is more Harryhausen.
