Hypothetical discussion of the HT Watchmen line

[Darklord Dave]

At this point I'd be happy if they just said they'd do more than 2.

 

[batfan08]

Thats fine in terms of a dream figure but realisically thats just not gonna happen, even if you take out everything pertaining to 'prison Walter' its still a huge amount of stuff. I'll be happy with just the basic Rorschach, as long as the coat fits properly. I think the grapple gun is a pretty safe bet to be included. It might be nice to get the 'End is Nigh' sign as well, if only for the kitbashers...

You have cwushed my dweams.

Just being a realist dude, but lets face it all we (I) really want is the main Rorschach...

Sorry though

 

[Josette]

Not just Rorschach. Nite Owl and Rorschach.

I wouldn't say no to Manhattan and Ozymandias, but I wouldn't cry over the lack of them, either.

I dunno, Ozy's a must imo, every line needs a villain.

 

[Centrocal]

I think the best chance we have of them completing the team would be if Dr. Manhattan and Ozy were a 2 in 1 set. Like DX Joker. Manhattan could be on a blue skin body similar to Abe Sapian and be dressed in a black suit from the funeral scene. Then just include a Ozy head and costume, no extra accessories. Price at $150, just to finish the team.

 

[EVILFACE]

By that notion, just release Nite Owl in his suit with a Rorschach head and call it a day.

I think I have to disagree. Watchmen is unique in that it's not really ABOUT the villain, until RIGHT at the end. In fact, especially in the movie (though also in the comic), Ozy is almost a second-tier character that you can easily forget about at times, until it all comes together. Don't get me wrong, I'll buy an Ozy, but I don't think he's 100% necessary, either.

(It doesn't help that, at least in the movie, he's probably the least interesting Watchmen character IMHO).

 

[Josette]

Ozymandias is the least interesting Watchmen character, period - at least for me. Didn't care about him in the comic, either.

 

[Darkseed]

Tell that to HT in regards to XMO: Wolverine line. Whether you liked the movie or not there is a single character WTF.

The Watchmen movie was released in March and eight mos. later the second figure is announced. I wouldn't be surprised if the line gets one more character - two tops.

Silk Spectre II used the new female body while The Comedian used the new muscular body. I predict a Rorschach on the new skinny body and the line is complete. HT can utilizing all their new "body types" in a series and call it a day.

Perhaps a Nite Owl II on the narrow shoulder version which I doubt because of the custome itself. I have even less hope for a Doctor Manhattan or Ozzy figure.

Well if you want to get down to it, all Watchmen characters that weren't Rorschach were second tier. Just look at how many Rorschach scenes/lines were given to Nite Owl and others just to flesh them out more.

 

[MANDO]

The smartest man on the cinder is a must for this line. Manhattan in a suit would totally blow, hell you could kitbash that one in no time why pay over $100 for it?

 

[The Mike]

This line will consist of Nite Owl II, Rorschach, Silk Spectre II and The Comedian. That's it. I actually wouldn't be shocked if The Comedian and Silk Spectre II were MMS figures and Nite Owl II and Rorschach were actually VGMS figures using "The End is Nigh" as their catapult.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I have decided I will only get Rorshcach. Times are tough.

 

[D. Martin]

Wouldn't Dr. Manhattan be fairly easy to make?
Just cast the muscular body in Blue and the Headsculpt,
plus trousers and optional suit?
Sounds pretty basic to me!

I hope that's not the route they'll take. In my opinion the standard muscle body isn't nearly detailed enough to be used as a main focus for someone who's nude/practically nude 99% of the time. Manhattan's body is specific enough to need the use of a specialized body sculpt like Hellboy. At least I hope that's what they would do.

 

[The Mike]

I agree which is A: Why he hasn't been announced yet or B: Why he won't be done.

 

[MANDO]

Not to mention Rocky and the gang just had sleeves that went over the regular TT legs whereas Manhattan would need a more fluid sculpt.
