One of the most exciting aspects of the Figura Obscura line is our ability to explore different themes and character types and to be able to take inspiration from a wide range of different sources, including different world cultures. To date, the Figura line has included characters from American folklore and literature, including the Headless Horseman and the Masque of the Red Death, alongside others from across the world like Krampus (Bavaria), Sun Wukong the Monkey King (China), and Anubis/Bastet (Egypt). For this latest release in the Figura Obscura line, Eric wanted to visit a new part of the world and seek inspiration in one of the most iconic and beloved deities within the Hindu religion.

While Ganesha is not the first deity in the Figura Obscura line, the “Gods of Ancient Egypt” set having been released a year prior holds that honor, he is the first one that is still actively worshipped in our modern age. Figura Obscura has always tried to remain faithful and respectful of the characters we create for the line, but the need to do so was even more important for this release. Diving deep into research of Ganesha and how he is depicted and used in modern Hindu culture, and working with experts on the subject matter to ensure our ideas would honor this important character, we came up with perhaps the most detailed and elaborate (and largest) Figura Obscura release to date.

Ganesha is a brand-new “brute scale” figure from the bottom of his feet to the top of his removable crown. He features the elephant head and 4 arms that this deity is most known for, along with premium soft goods created by CJesim, a number of removable bracelets and other jewelry pieces, and character specific accessories including a bowl of modaka, a parashu (axe), a pasha, bowls of fruit, and a rat. While Ganesha only includes the single head, the crown is removable and that head features articulated ears and a “bendy” trunk. He also includes a number of extra hands and a base for the figure to sit on. The set is absolutely loaded with parts that were newly created for this special release.
