Watchmen
Did anyone here buy any Watchmen action figures? They are pretty cool. I got The Comedian today. I now have 6 figures from this series (all the Watchmen, but not the Minutemen).

That's nerd rage because you know, there technically are no "Watchmen"...
I've thought about picking up a couple of the figs, but DC Direct did some strange stuff with their articulation that makes them not so cool in my book. |

For the figures, Silk Spectre II and Rorshcach don't have much articulation, and Dr. Manhattan doesn't have wrist articulation. I'm fine with the rest of the figures articulation. Quote:
Yeah, the action figure's appeal wares off after awhile. |

For casual fans I can totally understand calling them the Watchmen, but for those obsessed with Alan Moore's work it'd kind of be like calling Darth Vader one of the Star Warriors or somesuch. I don't really have an opinion either way. |

And I'm hardly obsessed with Moore's work, buddy. Note how I didn't use the term "graphic novel".

Though you should use the term graphic novel, as its only published now in that form. Old people only refer to graphic novel sized works as "comic books."
