They were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings; but something I cannot and must not recall. They flopped limply along, half with their webbed feet and half with their membraneous wings...

Yesterday, we announced that the first wave of Arkham Horror Monster Figures is available through our Fantasy Flight Collector line . Joining the already complete lineup of Arkham Horror Investigators , these stunning hand-painted figures further enhance the visual impact of your favorite Lovecraftian board game. Today, we’re pleased to present a closer look at each of the horrifying creatures available in wave one. We’ll also see how each versatile figure can be used in either Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness !
Don’t stare too long
Risk your sanity and gaze upon the tentacled Dark Young, the many-mouthed Dunwich Horror, or the wicked Goat Spawn. Whether writhing abomination or mortal minion, these unholy terrors have one thing in common: their contempt for all things good and humane.

Each Wave One Monster Figure is available individually through our webstore , and for those who wish to own the entire wave, a complete set (one of each monster) is also available!
In Arkham, nowhere is safe
As practical as they are attractive, Arkham Horror Monster Figures can easily be incorporated into your games of Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness . Both board games were designed to use the same sized monster token, and in both games, a token’s most pertinent information appears in the same place.
This ingenious design means that whether you plan to use them in Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness (or both), Arkham Horror Monster Figures provide a multipurpose accessory. For example, after randomly drawing a Cultist from your Arkham Horror monster cup, simply insert his token into the base of your painted Cultist figure. Showing through the top of the base, you’ll see the monster’s name, awareness modifier, and home dimension. And by picking him up for a quick look at the bottom of the base, you can see the entirety of the token’s back side.
Similarly, if a squirming Shoggoth is summoned before you in Mansions of Madness , just insert his monster token into the base of his painted figure. You’ll see his name, monster type, awareness modifier, and horror rating at a glance, and you can flip the figure and base over to learn his damage, health, and special attack!
