Any real life pics of the Dr. Manhattan 1/6 figure out there yet?

A comic store that is *kinda* near me (40 minutes away) says they got these in stock last week. I was on the fence looking at the official pictures and some of the ones from SDCC. Did anyone pick him up and take pictures yet? It could make or break my decision.

no pics but i saw it in my local comic store. it looks pretty bad for the price i must say, like a 2 up of a marvel legend figure with a hasbro suit on.

That's what I thought when I saw the early shots, too. What was it at your shop? $100?

£79.99

so about $150

Mine comes in tomorrow (Monday). I got it from Joe for about $84, shipped.

cool, be sure to post some futzed pics, i really wanted to get into this line but what i saw in the box looked terrible

I will. But I plan to display him without the suit anyway.

I emailed Joe because my LCS failed to save one for me because of some miscommunication. If he has them I'm getting two (One to pose suited and one without) but then again Manhattan is my favorite.

He looks better in this picture:

That's saying something since I think he looks like crap in that picture. If there was ever a figure that needed a HT muscle body, this is it.

Other than the visible joints and articulation spots I don't think it's all that bad.

I think the thing that's throwing me off the most is that the proportions look very wonky to me. It may just be me, but it looks....wrong.

For 40 bucks it isnt. For a 150 bucks? Its total ^^^^.

$150? I paid half that.

In the states it's 100 tops. When I put together my Lost Predator the other day, I couldn't help but think that it looked stupid without everything on it. I think it is comparable to this figure without the suit. However, with this one, people are probably going to want to display it without the suit, so it needs to look as goof as possible.

Dr. Manhattan does not want to wear clothes!

I hope a HT Manhattan comes with a translucent rubber muscle body, and a light up torso.

You're a 'glass half full' kind of guy, aren't you?

I don't know how well translucent rubber would look on a transulcent TT. I'd just prefer him to be blue.

I think the real question though is would we want him anatomically correct? Wouldn't be a problem on most figures but seeing as he prefers to wear his birthday suit (and even does so in the film) I think this is a serious thing to think about.

Personally, even if he cam out anatomically correct, he would be wearing the speedo - at the very least. Maybe even the suit
