Soosootoys Watchmen (2009) line - news and group shots

I really hate that Bane/Ganghood body. Needs a sculpt with the mask, but the rest looks good. I have a couple Worldbox bodies I could switch the uniform to.

After Doomsday Clock made him part of the DC Universe I really want a Dr Manhattan figure. Hopefully SST reveal him next.

Doctor Manhattan is the piece de resistance, the cherry on top, for sure. I think they’ll save him for last. My guess is Nite Owl will be next. But yeah if they make Dr. M. next I would be so hyped.

Oh hell yes. This looks like current HT level.

Given what we’re seeing Soosoo put into this figure, and hopefully Rorschach as well (and we should have some in-hand YT reviews very soon!), my confidence is high that they want to make the whole team.

 

[Alatar]

Thanks to @Hologram AI for posting this in the Comedian thread.

Soosoo confirming that they are committed to making the entire team!

And...

Looks like Ozymandias is next!

 

[Alatar]

Now that we have confirmation I guess this thread can still be used for posting combinations of various Watchmen figures together and for group shots of the whole team.

I know I will try my hand at recreating scenes from the movie. I will probably also have a go at recreating panels from the novel/comics run as well. For Christmas I invested in a 4K camera, chromakey colored green screen fabric, and a ring light. I want to try to start taking some high quality dynamic photos.

Cool looking fig, Just concerned whenever I see that pleather material, knowing it will crumble to dust some day.

Where are you seeing pleather, though? The vest looks like plastic and the straps look like leather. To me anyway. Maybe I'm just seeing what I'm hoping for lol!

Edit: Oh, I see, maybe the pants...

Manhattan is probably one of the easiest to do actually as he’s mostly just a nude figure. Even including the thong and suit are pretty basic costume pieces. It mostly comes down to the body. Is he on a seamless body? Jointed? Will they attempt some light up feature? That seems problematic to me so I think I’d prefer a non-light up body. Maybe a blast effect or two and a watch for accessories? Pretty straightforward but it will be critical to nail them since there is so little to his design.

 

[Alatar]

They could make a quarter scale Manhattan as well, lol. That's a lotta blue peen.

 

[Alatar]

I'd love a 1/6 Archie! Can you imagine!

Silicone like a Phicen, maybe? If so I think they'd have to dye the silicone body. It might fade over time. But better than painting I reckon, since paint eventually will crack and peel.

I'd rather have the body made of silicone than see the elbow, shoulder, and knee joints for a figure like this. Ankle and wrist there's nothing to be done about, those joints are going to show.

The suit for this figure is going to sweeeeeet!

[WhoaItsJBot]

I wonder if they'll ever try Steppenwolf or Darkseid.

 

[Stront]

Damn! Comedian is one of my favorite characters, period, and now they’re gonna do more Watchmen characters and Deathstroke?

These and their other figures have placed Soosoo at the top of my figure makers. Top class stuff.

Why not both? lol

I agree. I like the size of the arms, but there needs to be a new body that isn't as barrel torso'd as this and not the tiny waist of the TTM19 style.

That’s what a lot of folks are saying in the thread! Please give us both!
