Occult animal figurines with a cute-dark character
What sets Cult Cuties apart: every figurine carries occult detailing – pentagrams, moons, horns or demonic naming conventions – that fuses the cute with the mysterious. The pieces come in compact and larger formats and are supplied boxed for gifting. Alongside the figurines you'll come across snow globes, a trinket box, incense stick holders, purses and Christmas tree ornaments in the same series styling, which makes building a coordinated themed display straightforward across very different formats. Every piece comes from Nemesis Now and is hand-painted, with the carefully worked colour work bringing out the contrast between the soft, oversized features and the darker symbolic detailing layered on top. The series has built a serious collector base over the years, particularly among fans who enjoy the meeting point between cute creature design and gothic occult aesthetics.
Characters of the Cult Cuties world
The Cult Cuties appear in many variations, each with its own backstory and signature look. Lucifly is a dragon-like companion with occult detailing that pairs naturally with darker dragon collections. Culticorn is the dark unicorn of the series – mysterious and elegant, carrying the trademark contrast between unicorn whimsy and gothic styling. Malpuss is the black cat with symbolic markings, a true gothic classic in cute form. Shellial brings real humour to the line as a turtle wearing a witch's hat. Further creatures such as Zefur and Azascale extend the cast and reward collectors who follow the series across new releases. Each character carries its own name and visual identity, which is part of what turns Cult Cuties collecting into a genuine pursuit rather than a one-off purchase.
Where Cult Cuties figurines come into their own
Cult Cuties work best displayed as a coordinated group rather than as scattered individual ornaments – a row across a shelf, the top of a bookcase, witches' altar or a dedicated section of a curio cabinet plays directly to the cast-of-characters appeal of the range and lets each piece's individual styling come through. Smaller figurines suit writing desks, mantelpieces and themed Halloween displays particularly well, while larger pieces hold their own as the focal point of a console table or sideboard, particularly when paired with candles, tarot decks or other occult accents for a layered atmospheric interior. The trinket box, purses and incense holders bring functional everyday detail into daily use. Similar styling worlds are also offered by the Gothic Figurines, the Witch Familiars and the Furrybones Figurines – four ranges that share the same playful-dark sensibility and look strong displayed together.
Frequently asked questions about Cult Cuties
What are Cult Cuties?
Cult Cuties are a collectible figurine series from Nemesis Now that combines cute animal motifs with occult symbolism – mystical, charming and unique. Every piece carries its own name and character, blending oversized soft features with darker symbolic detailing such as pentagrams, moons, horns and demonic accents.
What products are included in the series?
Alongside figurines, the range covers snow globes, Christmas tree ornaments, trinket boxes, purses and incense stick holders – the line is continually expanding with new characters and product formats, which makes it particularly rewarding for serious collectors who follow the series over time.
How do I keep a hand-painted Cult Cuties figurine looking sharp?
For routine care, dust gently with a soft brush or microfibre cloth – the brush reaches into sculpted detailing such as horns, wings and occult symbols where dust tends to gather. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based wipes and abrasive sponges, since they can dull the hand-painted finish. For pieces displayed near windows, keeping them out of direct, prolonged sunlight helps preserve the deep blacks and metallic highlights over time.
