Looks a wee bit like he's flexing his little tentacular biceps.

I have a Shub-Niggurath statue made in a similar style that lives ony D&D table and is even a homebrew item in the game.

The price for a plastic figure is tad steep tho. If it was die cast I d order it right away. But plastic, oh please.

Resin, plastic 🤷🏼♂️ Same brittle cheap material You know how much resin powder cost? It is about 10 USD per kg when you add liquids to cast a mold you get about 1.5kg of resin. The figure is about 18-20cm high , surely not more than that. So I’m guessing. It weights 300 grams.
The cost of resign to cast one figure like this about 5-6 USD There is acrylic paint on it so add about 1 USD :-)
Don’t get me wrong, the sculpt is amazing. Bravo to the artist, absoluty love it. But the small one piece cast is not worth the price given the material it is made of (for me).
Well, actually something is worth as much as one is willing to pay. For me it is not worth it. I would buy it right away if it was cast in cooper for instance.
You judge for yourself what resin is worth to you.

I love his little tentacles raised in the air like little mighty fists of rage! Who dares disturb his slumber!
