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.

I didn't know that. I thought there were 'Watchmen' because The Comedian refered to them as 'Watchmen' in the scene where he burns the map with his lighter.

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.

I agree, The Comedian is an awesome action figure. I like his sculpt and his guns are cool that fit in the holsters.

Yeah, the action figure's appeal wares off after awhile.

I was just explaining to you why the other guy responding with jibberish. Probably beating his head against the keyboard.

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.

That's because the movie is terrible and you should read the comic book.

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."
