Have you pre-ordered the crazy, creepy, colossal Cestoda figure by Miscreation Toys and Toy Art Gallery?  If not, you have until Thursday (7.2) @ Midnight PDT to grab one or both of the unpainted red and charcoal gray editions for $175 (+s/h) each over at TAG’s web shop.  The pre-order is the only way to purchase these debut editions. 

Standing 14” tall with 10 points of articulation, the new sofubi figure realizes creator Jeremi Rimel’s vision of man’s worst nightmare come true, a massive tapeworm like creature that incubates in large mammals such as whales and yes, humans as well.  Hit the jump for the full backstory.

Cestoda Backstory

A blue whale is found beached near Santa Monica Pier. During the necropsy a giant creature emerges from the whale carcass carrying a brood of eggs clustered on its hulking back. It can use any living thing as a host, piercing into them with its spiky tail and inserting eggs. And now it has humans for incubation vessels.

The military step in to contain the infected zones and hunt down the rapidly growing creature. But the monster is resilient. It has large sharp claws and the glands within its tail spray a potent, foul slime that induces a paralyzing effect. Bullets pierce the creature’s segmented cuticle flesh to little or no effect. The military attempt to capture it with more advanced weaponry.

Marine biologists nickname the creature “Cestoda” as it’s biological traits resemble those found in tapeworm parasites. They theorize the invasive species originated deep within the Earth and was introduced to the sea following a recent earthquake that rocked the coast of northern California. They believe the beached whales fed upon deep sea creatures that were infested with the parasite.

While the military tracks Cestoda, scientists race to discover a solution and stop the spread of the parasite. If they fail, Earth will eventually be purged of every living creature- including mankind!
-Jeremi Rimel
