I would much rather have these than the movie versions.


The 15th anniversary Watchmen plans were scuttled by Moore after some run-ins with DC over content in his ABC comics.

Here is hoping that these see the light of day at some point. I would also love 1/6th scale and of course Mego.

Yup....ask Alan Moore....

"Although collectors were disappointed when DC Direct cancelled the first Watchmen action figures, the ones from the film will more than make up for the initial loss. Because the characters, designs have been improved for realism, the action figures look more dynamic and much better than the original ones shown in 2000. In the end, waiting eight more years paid off for action figures collectors who wanted Watchmen toys!"

Screw this I want a decent Owl , and Ozzy

Yeah it's like, speak for yourself dude. I mean, eight years of toy-making experience will produce better toys, sure... but they're the movie versions. People want the cooler comic versions. And "dynamic" or not, those old figures do look better.

If we can make DC Direct that artistic Specfic I think Theyre capable of TWO Watchmen lines. One Dave Gibbons Watchmen Regular Comic style, amnd one JUST like the prototypes in the Book.

You think Collectors would go for it? 2 lines ? Is it too late for Watchmen Buzz ? @0? years , so many inspirations the original might not hold up to a new generation of Fans?
