Stuff Those Holiday Stockings With these cute Cryptozoo figures

by Chris HammondDecember 20, 2018

With Christmas just days away, here’s a wonderful idea to stuff those holiday stockings: CRYPTKINS VINYL blind box figures, released by Cryptozoic Entertainment. These 2.25 inch tall cute and creepy figures come in all shapes and sizes and are shipped in mock  “crates”; with legendary creatures such as Nessie, Chupacabra, Cthulhu, Bigfoot, Kraken, Mothman and more waiting to bust free.

Sculpted by Sam Greenwell, the line is released in two different series of figures, with the second line seeing a December release. These tabloid headline grabbing creatures are sure to please horror collectors young and old. Be sure to check out there digital Cryptkins channel app feature on Quidd (available on Google Play and Apple’s app store). Here you can collect, trade, and show off official Cryptozoic Entertainment Cryptkins Limited Edition stickers, trading cards, and 3D figures.

The Curator of the Creepy collectibles. I've been an avid horror fan for over 3 decades. Meeting and writing about some of the finest artists from all over the world is a pure joy. I've written for multiple websites on the art and collectible front. The horror bug that lives inside me is well cared for and has been going strong since I watched my first introduction to horror through a grainy VHS copy of John Carpenter's 1978 classic film Halloween.
