In the story, Warren becomes obsessed with researching the legends and folklore surrounding Yig.

She was also available in a plastic header-carded baggie for clearance purposes a rare end-run variant , as well as being included in the ultra-rare Emerald City Gift Set along with the other six figures from series one. The second style is cast in white plastic, no doubt to give the impression of underpants much like the black and blue pelvic pieces found on most Type 2 male Mego bodies.

Glinda the good witch gud
Glinda, the Good Witch (Item No. 51500/5): The fifth in the line of Wizard of Oz figures, this item recreates the character of Glinda, the Good Witch (Billie Burke) from the film. Glinda comes on a standard female Mego body (jointed knees and elbows) cast in pink flesh. Her outfit is comprised of an ornate pink lace dress with a gold, vac-metallized heart sewn to the chest. A pair of pink slippers and a tall, gold, vac-metallized crown complete the ensemble. Her only accessory is her magic wand, which is vac-metallized in gold.
Package Variants: Like all of the other first series figures (except the Wizard), Glinda is available in both the "plain green" and "yellow brick road" boxes. She was also available in a plastic header-carded baggie for clearance purposes (a rare end-run variant), as well as being included in the ultra-rare Emerald City Gift Set (along with the other six figures from series one).
Figure Variants: Glinda's pelvis piece comes in two different colors. The first style is cast in pink flesh plastic (to match the rest of her body). The second style is cast in white plastic, no doubt to give the impression of underpants (much like the black and blue pelvic pieces found on most Type 2 male Mego bodies). One wonders why Mego didn't just use the same underwear already available for Isis and Dorothy instead of molding the pelvis in a new color. (In fact, there are rumors that Glindas have been found with white panties, but until I see at least one pantied specimen mint-in-box, I am neither willing nor able to confirm this rumor.) The second "white-pelvis" style of body is infinitely rarer than the first "all-pink" body.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Glinda's shoes are the same style as Dorothy's shoes (only in pink instead of red). Also, Glinda and Dorothy share the same female body, cast in the same pink flesh.
Caution Collectors: As with all vac-metallized plastic, Glinda's heart, crown and wand are susceptible to flaking and fading/tarnishing, so keep any handling down to a bare minimum. Also, Glinda's crown has a pin molded inside the center for mounting into her head, so (as any Thor owner will tell you) you've got to be extremely gentle when removing or replacing the crown.

“It’s a very progressive Protestant denomination. If you go with Stásya, you can just copy what other people do. They’ve got some benches there, since it used to be a Roman Catholic church. A lot of the people stand or walk around during services anyway, since they’re so used to having done that back home. I’m sure we can find some scarves for you to cover your hair with if you go there.”
Yig, often depicted as a mix of a serpent and a human, is believed to hold power over snakes. It is said that those who harm or disrespect snakes will incur Yig's wrath and become cursed. The curse manifests itself in physical and mental transformations, turning individuals into snakes or causing them to display reptilian-like behavior. The curse is portrayed as a symbol of the fearful and unknown forces that lie hidden beneath the surface of human existence. It represents the consequences of meddling with ancient, primal forces and the inevitable doom that befalls those who seek forbidden knowledge. Lovecraft expertly weaves elements of horror, mystery, and cosmic existential dread into the narrative. The story delves into themes of obsession, the fragility of the human mind, and the futile struggle against dark, ancient forces. It is a cautionary tale that warns of the perils of curiosity and the consequences of seeking forbidden knowledge. "The Curse of Yig" stands as a testament to Lovecraft's unique storytelling skills. It showcases his ability to create a sense of creeping horror through the careful construction of atmosphere, pacing, and description. The story leaves readers with a lingering sense of unease and provokes contemplation on the boundaries of human understanding and the mysteries of the universe..
