Any chance of Hot Toys doing figures for Watchmen?

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

I wouldn't mind a Kovacs figure at all.

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

I might go for a Kovacs figure, as long as it came with the big "The End is Nigh" sign. Maybe some people would want Blake in his bathrobe, too.

But then we would have to explain why we have a figure of a guy in his bathrobe in our collections!

^Oh, be quiet.

I agree that Manhattan should just come naked... it's that way in the film and the comics, makes sense to me. And I am secure in my manhood enough to walk by and laugh at his tiny blue wang.

It won't bother me.

As for street clothes versions... I would go for Kovacs or Bathrobe Comedian but that is about it.

I hope he comes with the suit, unitard, underwear, and is correct underneath so every display option is covered.

That would be best for all.

I think that would be the best way to do it. Especially considering that there isn't much you can put in there with it. I guess you could put a watch in there and the photo, but that's it really. So extra outfits would be awesome.

I might also make him a custom Mars base, if they don't... I think that would be very visually appealing on the shelf.

I think all of your ideas would be great. Like you said, he would be fairly minimal with accessories so all of this clothing options should be included, unless he is drastically cheaper than the other figures. Like $100 or less, which I don't really see any more.

Mars base wouldn't be that much different than a detailed Predator base, so I hope they go for it. Heck, I'd love to see the others have detailed bases. A Rorschach base of the gutter for the button would be awesome.

I agree as well, that would help him sell simply because people would feel they got their moneys worth.

And detailed bases for this line would be awesome, I can only imagine the possibilities.

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

Here's a question though. Are either Rorschach or The Comedian even going to be allowed to have the smiley face button? From what I understand the smiley is only licensed for use within the book and film, hence why we haven't seen it on any of the merchandise coming out so far.

Yes, the figures and products can have the button as part of them (the Comedian figures and replica guns from DC Direct have them), but the smiley itself can't be the focal point of any products. No shirts, no actual buttons, etc,

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

That's good to know. It would be a travesty if we didn't get the button with our figures.

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

I'm all for screen accuracy but I'd never display an anatomically correct naked male figure based on a comic book character in my house. Lines gotta be drawn somewhere, and mine stops at blue weiners.

All due respect, if that is how you feel, you either a) don't understand what his wiener represents or b) shouldn't buy and/or display a Dr. Manhattan figure.

 

[D. Martin]

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

Some people have security issues, it seems.

No doubt.

Personally, I wouldn't display a Dr. Manhattan if it wasn't naked, and his wiener will be the first one published on CTR

so get ready for the biggest ^^^^ ever put on the silver screen next month.

I think you're forgetting Tom Cruise.

It'll be a stressful day when 1:6 scaled blue wieners freak me out.

Dude, that has to be your Facebook action.

 

[D. Martin]

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

Ah, but does he not also wear the suit to the funeral? He didn't change his skin color there. Plus he wore the suit before he changed his skin color. We don't even know he will change his skin color in the movie either. It would be an all-time-low variant.

All true, but the skin colour change would make a more interesting variant.

Re: Another Watchmen figure line?

I wouldn't mind a Kovacs figure at all.

What if he had his sign? I'd be all over it.

DONE! Now please go there and comment.

Same here! Like Mike, I will be a completist with the HT Watchmen line all the way. I'm in for whatever they do, most likely including multiples of some.
