Nite Owel and Rorschach Action Figures
Comic Book Movie News, Watchmen (2009) Movie — By Nix on April 17, 2008
Who watches the Watchmen? I don’t know, but if you buy the action figures, you can watch the Watchmen. And play with them. And send them on missions. And do other things you’re so inclined to do with bendable toys. At least, I think you can bend these Watchmen action figures. What would be the point of buying them otherwise? In any case, Entertainment Weekly has your first look at action figures for Nite Owl and Rorschach, with Warner planning on release one for each character in January of next year for $14.99 a pop.
Two more figures will be unveiled at the New York Comic-Con on Friday, April 18, so buy your tickets if you want to see them up close, kids.

Rorschach is spot on, and while Nite Owl looks good, he’s perhaps a little too Batman-esque. He’s definitely more svelte than the older Dan Dreiberg from the maxi-series.
I first must ask if anyone actually read “Watchmen” in ‘86 and ‘87. Because if you did read it and understood it, then you may realize that marketing action figures is something that should not be done. I thought that I would give the movie a chance, now I wish I had my $10.50 back. And now you want me to buy my children toys that bastardize my childhood memories? Go to hell Mr.Snyder!!! I will never buy into one of your “visionary” movies again. Ever! All you did to “direct” your newest crappy movie was use the novel as a storyboard, which a trained chimp could have accomplished, and when you did not have the skill to even do that, you leave dialog out or little things (like the fact that Silk Spectre smokes and that Blake was 17 when he joined the Crimestoppers). Watchmen is unfilmable graphic novel and now is the unwatchable movie.
