Polystoned - the art of collecting

XALBAGA, THE CAT GOD | STATUE REVEAL
by Skinner

Behold - the Feline God is here.

We’re beyond excited to unveil our fourth original art statue from the wizardry of Skinner - a cosmic entity conjured from a furball spat straight out of the mind of a true art sorcerer.

Xalbaga, the Cat God, emerges as a shrine to imagination — a monument forged in chaos, mythology, and radiant intensity. This project isn’t just a statue; it’s a portal. A bold leap into realms where art becomes artifact, and boundaries between the real and the unreal collapse.

This is Skinner unleashed - free, wild, and transcendent.

The art of Skinner

Oakland-based artist Skinner is recognized for his vivid, psychedelic and otherworldly art - an agile mix of horror, humour, sci-fi and fantasy. His highly detailed line work, skillful blend of color and composition, make his art amongst the coolest, raddest and most immersive ever.

Rooted in the ‘70s & ‘80s, Skinner created a unique style with rich stories and a thoughtful narrative approach.

The Skinner universe is filled with mystical creatures, dark magic and cursed artifacts, inspired partly by the old school Dungeons & Dragons lore and the cover art of his youth and partly by the pages of illustrated cult magazines such as Heavy Metal and Eerie but also from his love for comics in general.

Mostly focused on his personal work, Skinner has done some cool commercial gigs with Warner Bros, Vans, Adult Swim, Fender guitars, Heavy Metal magazine, Juxtapoz, Kidrobot, Quentin Tarantino, Grammy winning metal band Mastodon and many more.

Xalbaga, The Cat God

In strange heavens, Xalbaga reigned in demonic power as the head of a dark pantheon of old gods. His terror spread across thousands of years until, while meeting a monk on earth to battle one day, he met a stray cat.

The cat had no armor, and no weapons but rolled on its back and wiggled in the dirt. Xalbaga, without thinking, immediately began petting and scratching the cat, as the monk watched from the bushes. The monk knew that the cat had a better chance of overcoming the great demon, than a thousand warriors, and he was right. Soon Xalbaga was on the ground trying to please the stray and hold it in his lap.

No demon god had succumbed so quickly, and Xalbaga soon began the worship of cats on earth, where he kept watch over the wretched little stray that had changed his demon ways with little effort, so long ago.

-Skinner

Original artwork



Original Art Statue

XALBAGA, The Cat God - Scale
The art of Skinner

The mighty Cat God of strange heavens - once feared as the terror of a thousand years - now sits still, in meditative focus. This sacred guardian, our latest art statue from Skinner, captures Xalbaga’s scale with freehand paint detailing so intricate it borders on the divine. Every claw, every glowing rune, every whisper of fur is a tribute to the old god’s transformation - from demon overlord to devoted feline servant.

Perfect scale - large enough to turn heads, but small enough to fit on your shrine.

A mini-statuette in 6 color variants will be available at launch. Photos coming soon!

Nine lives may be spent, but the bones remember.

The cat cradled in Xalbaga's lap isn't just cute - it's removable. And underneath? A tiny feline skeleton, whispering ancient secrets.

Xalbaga, The Cat God – Production Update

Fellow disciples of the Anointed Fur,

Back from a bit of summer R&R with a proper update.

We’ve hit a major production milestone on Xalbaga, The Cat God and we wanted to give you a proper update straight from the catacombs.

The statuette version of Xalbaga (based on the original artwork by Skinner) is now fully produced. If you ordered one, it exists, it's real, and it's getting ready to make its way to your collection.

Now, our focus shifts to the larger statue version. Production on this is in the final phase. That means we're doing quality checks, and last-minute tweaks to make sure the final piece lives up to the concept and craftsmanship you expect from House of Gog.

Shipping Timeline

We're still on track to ship by Q4 2025; possibly earlier if everything continues to move smoothly. As always, we’ll keep you posted if anything changes. Our goal is to deliver a flawless collectible, and that takes time, but we're in the home stretch now.

Why This Matters

This project was born from a shared love of the strange, the sacred, and the unhinged. Xalbaga, The Cat God isn’t just another figure, it’s an altar to chaos, beauty, and Skinner’s wild imagination.

Every time you support one of these projects, you help keep the art alive and our small team pushing forward. We don't take that lightly. Your support is what makes this kind of work possible, full stop.

So from all of us, thank you! You make this dream real.

More updates soon.

PRODUCTION UPDATE
Xalbaga, The Cat God - Statue
By Skinner

Children of the Nine Lives,

The larger-scale Xalbaga statue is in its final production stage. Assembly and quality checks are underway to ready this altar to the Feline God for you, beloved disciples.

Our target remains Q4 2025 as we coordinate sailing schedules and factor in 30-45 days of ocean transit. Assuming no surprises, that’s the delivery window you can expect.

Preorders launched in May 2025, meaning we’re still ahead of typical industry timelines. The team is doing great!

Thank you for being part of the House of Gog. The Cat God purrs with your support.

You rule!

Xalbaga, The Cat God: Final Production Update

Beloved cougher of holy furballs,

The wait is almost over. Production of Xalbaga, The Cat God—the latest creation from the mighty Skinner is now complete. Both the full-sized statue and the mini statuettes are finished, boxed, and ready to begin their journey overseas.

Shipping Timeline

The statues will travel by ocean freight, which typically takes 30–45 days. Shipping by sea keeps costs manageable but does require patience, so thank you for bearing with us during this last stage.

Updating Your Address

If you’ve moved since placing your order, now is the time to update your shipping details. Please send us an email with your new address so we can make sure your Xalbaga reaches the right doorstep.

Payment Reminder

For those who still have a balance due (preorders with deposit only), we’ll be sending a separate email once the statues are closer to shipping. At that point, you’ll be able to finalize payment so we can get your order on its way.

Looking Ahead

We’ll continue to post updates as the statues make their way on their ocean transit. Once they arrive in the US and clear logistics, shipping will begin immediately.

Thank you again for your support and patience. This project has been a labor of love, and we’re excited for you to finally welcome Xalbaga, The Cat God, into your collection.
