New on ArtStation Marketplace, a new videogame-ready rigged Cthulhu for $300. ‘Rigged’ means he has a human-like skeleton setup and can thus be fully posed and animated. The look is a bit too squiddy and squid-ink blue, but that could be fixed.

I find the look an advantage rather than an issue.
Green Cthulhu, often plump, green Cthulhu, is a ubiquitous enough interpretation that it comes to mind naturally, which is anathema to the Cthulhu of the novella who is only comprehended in parts because the whole is too alien.
The blue squid look still isn’t nearly incomprehensible enough to fully capture Lovecraft’s intent, but the dissonance of simultaneously recognizing it is Cthulhu and feeling it doesn’t look “right” is for me a good thing.
