Today I found the unmasked Rorschach at TRU, a Nite Owl (Modern) at Spencer's, and all of the rest at my local comic shop (which was somehow magically cheaper than even TRU). Including the classic Comedian variant, which apparently is becoming very difficult to find.
The only 2 figures I don't have? You guessed it.
Dr. Manhattan, and the translucent variant. Yes, that's right, the only figure I was originally considering getting.
However, I'm incredibly happy with all of them. I wish Rorschach had more articulation, but I can ignore it. The rest of them are surprisingly well articulated, considering they are DC Direct figures. Not to mention they look great.
Rumor also has it that the classic Nite Owl and classic Silk Spectre are being left out of new figure shipments, so I'm really happy I got them.
I shall post pictures at some point, most certainly. These are great figures, and with each passing day I find myself becoming more drawn into Watchmen. I could never cheat on Batman, but the themes from Watchmen take the existential crisis of Bruce Wayne and turn it national.
It's apolitical in the highest sense, and to Alan Moore: even if you're pissed about everything, I still appreciate it. Thanks, bud.
