They haven't even been announced yet.

Were the Watchmen ever directly referred to as such in the book? I don't remember that at all.

They were called the minute men, yes inuendo blah blah. They even joke about it in the book.

The DC figures have been, and will be out soon....

Oh, I thought he meant the Hot Toys ones. My bad.

I'll probably pick up the DCD 7" Rorschach to hold me over for Hot Toys' version. Maybe the Comedian too. If I get any more, I'd probably get sucked into the line.

Nope. And that wasn't their name at all.

They were called the minute men, yes inuendo blah blah. They even joke about it in the book.

Actually, The Minutemen only existed in the 1940's and after they disbanded there was no organized "team" until 1966, when Captain Metropolis called everyone to a meeting of what would be named "The Crimebusters" (this is obviously what's been changed to "Watchmen" in the movie). But The Comedian crashed it and shot them all down and that was that. There was never anything more than the one meeting.

So, no... they were not called "Watchmen" in the book. But they weren't even a team at all (except for Rorschach and Nite Owl in the 70's).

I can understand why they made the change for the movie, but I am going to miss the subtle genius of "Watchmen" only being used as reference to Juvenal's Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? instead of a direct name for the heroes in any way.

OMG, those are horrible.
I wonder what Alan Moore would say.

Actually, he'd probably love them. Remember the "Watchmen Babies" on the Simpsons?

those look pretty cool. what joker is that in the background???

 

[IrishJedi]

I'm very happily surprised that Comedian's mask is removable. It looks so much better without it.

I think it's that awful 1:2 bust.

Here's a ton of Watchmen pics.

The Comedian figure looks passable, but Rorschach is laughable.



We will look up and shout save us Hot Toys

And they will whisper... yes.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I don't see what is so terrible about that Rorschach. Looks pretty good for DCD.

No, the Comedian looks pretty good for DCD. Rorschach just looks off. Too big of body, poorly made clothes, etc.
