Cool swag, IJ. That Rorschach mask is badass! But what is up with the Woman's Health mags?

Are you on the square?

But have you seen the picture inside?
I have not. I would go pick one up if it wasn't for the inevitable awkward glare the cashier would give me when I check out.
Rorschach and comedian are the only ones I'm contemplating to get... If HT is making watchman, that is.

Indeed. I'm straining myself to avoid becoming creepily obsessed with that woman right now.

Dadadaaaa!
Why isn't there any news from HT regarding the watchmen just yet?!
I need my rorscach and comedian fig on shelf badly!
Btw, how long did it take HT to announce they are making the spirit figures? As I remembered it was right before the movie even hit the theaters right?

My variant (young) Comedian figures have shipped. Hooray!

Every time someone adds a post to this thread I think something has been announced. Of course I am not helping the situation by posting this, oh well.
Yeah this specualtion is getting annoying...what hard news have we besides cloak and dagger whispers and the odd article misprint?
This is why:

The Smiley is actually copyrighted and subject to licensing fees and/or approval. They've apparently negotiated the use of the Smiley as a small part of "Watchmen" stuff (like a Comedian figure wearing the Smiley button) but nothing that actually focuses on it, like a t-shirt with a large blood-spattered Smiley image on it.
The second edition of Absolute Watchmen also features the bloody clock on both sides as opposed to the first edition which had the clock on the back and the Smiley on the front.
In any case, it's crazy but the Smiley isn't a public-domain thing. It's like the "Happy Birthday" song situation.
I got mine today from Cornerstorecomics/Amazingtoyz. It was actually supposed to be released like two weeks ago, I don't know if they were actually on-time though or if CSC/AT had a delay. Series 2 and the Dr. Manhattan variant are supposed to be coming tomorrow. Series 2 should be ready at least since they've already been released at some major retailers. After those five only the variant unmasked Rorschach (and the 13" Rorschach) are left.

Wow, thanks. Wouldn't have thought that a smiley could be copyrighted....

No, they should continue to make multiple versions of the Joker and ALSO make Watchmen figures, the whole lot of them.
New Toys R Us Exclusive announced:
Prisoner Rorschach:
https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3382481
With both unmasked 7" Rorschach figures still unrevealed it's impossible to say if the figures are different aside from the mug-shot sign but I'm guessing that the "prisoner" figure is probably bruised and bloody.
Edit: I just looked in my Absolute Edition and Rorschach is bruised/bloody in his mugshot (and the number matches the plate on the figure) so unless he's not bruised/bloody in the movie (and I don't know why he wouldn't be) that's most likely the big difference between this and the other maskless Rorschach.
