Cryptic sofubi: Shub Zeroth ? ? ?

I know that I enjoy some demonic / hellish / Lovecrafty sofubi monsters, so I'm intrigued by whatever this is leading me to believe. As I do not personally buy & collect resin toys, I am crossing my fingers that Shub Zeroth is birthed in vinyl Hopefully as photos and details surface, this thread can fill out nicely - after all, the teaser sketch looks handsome.

On the Meta-Crypt site, they promise to email you updates, and they thank you for signing up.
You can then poke around the logo in the corner to find a little info, but nothing major.

Over-thinking it, I adjusted dark/light levels of the page hoping for a cryptic message or image hidden in the background of the page . . . but no If anyone else has anything else to add, I'd love to know. Justin is a friend of mine, but I've yet to get any more info or imagery from him.

Wow. This is here! Outed!

I can confirm/clarify several things.:

Shub Zeroth will, indeed, make himself known to us in the form of tasty Japanese vinyl, though there is a small degree of trepidatory talk about a resin prototype debuting for display at a well-known California summertime event.

His likeness has been sculpted by the one and only Miyazawa-san of Shikaruna Koubo. I cannot tell you how much of an honor that is to say.

Fostering of Shub Zeroth—both into and onto—this plane of being is, um, being deftly handled by The Fort. All hail.

Meta-Crypt is a side-pairing between Brian Ewing and myself (whom you can blame for any typos or dumb ideas).

I am beyond excited about the entire endeavor, but am now (of course) terrified that other people know about it.

More as it develops. Thank you for the shove, Randy.

Even more reason for me to whine about not being at the con this year. Pictures are acceptable, but seeing in person and/or handling is always better. I'm really glad to see that Shub Zeroth is going to be at the con in one form or another.

I did do some poking around that logo. Found a pretty sweet picture of the proto's face. This looks very promising. Thanks for the link.

Huh. Screenshot it? I can't find shit and I'm really curious to see what this thing looks like (god damn teasers).

My bad, you guys. I had posted the teaser (sorry banshee!) above and then updated the image on Flickr, which seemed to have broken the link here. 'Tis Fixed.

Will push more photos as we get closer to Con, and of course after the 'big reveal'.

FWIW, if you aren't planning on going INTO Con, but will be in SD for the Lulu event, Shub WILL be at the Super Magic Funtime Unit on Friday night for display.

Haha, thank you. I'm liking it and definitely looking forward to seeing more from SDCC.

A gods-damned dirty tease, in the spirit of taking the power back. Undependence Day.



Shub Zeroth exists outside of time: he is neither old nor young. The infinity of his infiniteness is quite finite, as he is becoming something more (and at the same time less) than whatever he was when he started out as whatever he is. Whatever he was. His menace belies his nature...in that he is entirely unnatural.

He is a celebration of the un-.

I love where this is going !

is this a bust?

is this a bust?

I think it's a freestanding / complete toy.
At least I hope it is. I don't collect busts.

Most certainly not a bust.

It's too soon to put anything in cold, hard type on it, but the idea is that there will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 points of articulation, and he will stand in fully anthropomorphized meta-god glory.

It can be said that Shub Zeroth sees all. Knows all. But it can also be said that he is blind and unknowing. Submerged within himself at awful and crippling depths across infinite time. Unable to thrash or feel or speak...he is. He has always been.Yet, he is becoming. Something...else. And that is terrible.

Somebody go by the booth and post a pic already

I guess he finally heard you

Do want. Sign me very much up.

I hope the stomach is staying plain like that, it's a nice contrast from the tons of detail.

Damn, this looks fantastic!! Really looking forward to seeing a painted version.

this is nuts




looks like a nice adversary to kai thunder

What's up with his feet?

^^
Suction hooves..?

For me this was promising. I wasn't really a fan of the back of the head, but after seeing the the whole figure I get it. The body really bothers me. I don't like the short fat body or the feet. I really liked the arms and head though

The body / legs / arms remind me of Dragamel in a really good way!
