For a side-by-side comparison gallery of all the creature figures invented by Cthulhu Mythos writers for the mythos, see our topical gallery Lovecraftian Mythos Creations. (The gallery does not include generic creatures of horror fiction such as zombies, werewolves and vampires, even though they may have been sculpted for Lovecraftian gaming.)
Other Grenadier packs related to the Call of Cthulhu line:
Chill - 8501 Nightmares figures, created by the same Grenadier sculptors are now appropriately included in the Nightmares (Mirliton) line.
2014 Folklore, Creatures of the Night has several figures in common with the Nightmares (Grenadier) line, also appropriately included in the Nightmares (Mirliton) line.

To compare specific Lovecraftian creatures, see our Lovecraftian Mythos Creations topical galleries.
There are other notable companies that make appropriate horror figures, but they are not specifically made for the Cthulhu Mythos. The Rule of Thumb seems to be this: if they haven't produced a Deep One and/or a Great Cthulhu, then they aren't producing for the mythos. Everyone loves the Deep Ones, and you can never have enough for your hoard!
