Are there any colossal squid figures on eBay or Amazon?
I recall seeing one a while back but I cant seem to find one anywhere.

There's a Kitan one on eBay.

Pretty sure you can get it cheaper from Mercari or YAJ. You can use Remambo, ZenMarket or other dealers out there. But much better if you combine the shipping with something else.

Looks like the Kitan Club squid is the only figure of a colossal squid. I don't know why the colossal squid isn't more popular. There are plenty of giant squid figures out there, it's time for someone to make a colossal.

I could have sworn the colossal squid was just as if not more popular than the giant squid lol.

Not as a figure or toy. There's probably some others out there, but not like the giant

I don't think so. I don't think most people are even aware of the colossal squid. That's probably due to its limited range in a remote region. Colossals are found around Antarctica while giant squid are found around the world and wash up on beaches with some regularity. Giant squid are more accessible. Entire books have been written about Architeuthis, Peter Benchley wrote a novel about it that was then made into a movie, depictions of the giant squid battling sperm whales are common in media, etc.

There's this generic "unbranded" squid figure seen around eBay a lot that I've always thought was potentially meant to be or at least inspired by a colossal squid:

even though I don't really buy generic figures I might buy this to display it as a Colossal Squid
if the kitan club one gets sold before I fully decide to get it, this will be the second option

Good!
It's a good figure, a bit on the small range maybe but still.
