I don't understand the question, Avatar. He's from the beginning of the film, of course, and it wouldn't surprise me if his stats are very similar to Veidt's.

That's my disappointment with this set, tbh: too many repeats. Although the different poses are cool, we don't need that many Rorschach's, Dr Manhattan's, etc. I'd much rather have the complete Minutemen there too. As a commenter says:

Kind of disappointed there's no Dollar Bill, Nite Owl 1, Mothman or Silhouette figures.

At least you can recreate The Comedian vs Sally Jupiter.

don't worry i was being stupid, didn't make the connection that it was supposed to be veidt when he attacks the comedian.

i agree, only having half of the minutemen was an odd decision,

Has anyone considered that perhaps one of the 25 figures could be the chick that The Comedian knocked up in Viet-Nam? A removable fetus would be a bonus!!

Oh shit, I made a rape joke? Alan Moore's gonna rape me now...

Anywho, playtest!

Quote:
The Watchmen set is an interesting one. The pieces all interact together fairly well. It's important to remember that this is not a set meant to be played against itself. If that is your goal, this set is not for you, as the team with the Unique Dr. Manhattan will probably win at least 90% of the time.

Oh man. Not getting all the Minutemen really dampens my enthusiasm for this set. This is a most cruel and unusual decision. I need the Silhouette so the Twilight Lady has someone to hang out with.

Who the hell is responsible for making these dumb choices? I gotta suspect -- marketing men. Time to go break some fingers.

Weird competition, the prize is a single figure, but worth a shot for Americans/Canadians here...

Kay; I entered.

I can't say that I'll be jumping for joy if I win, but free stuff's free stuff.

Got it!

Looks good. (hard to take the figures out of the case though, afraid I'm going to break 'em.)

Now to put it on my shelf, forget about it, and never look at it again!

I got a set from the manufacturer for review. I hope to post my review this weekend. I'll even take some photos of all of them.

Cool (especially since you got it for free. Free is good).

I think the packaging is really nice looking. Again, my only complaint is taking them out. They're really wedged in here.

I thought the detail on the figures was pretty good. The only thing that looked odd to me were the eyes. They were oversized and sometimes the pupils went in slightly different directions.

Not sure we needed two different knot tops ( a thug and a leader). The Kovacs one was especially neat.

But all in all, I think it's a very nice Watchmen collectible. It was a nice surprise to see something this cool released so long after the movie. It's a shame I don't play HeroClix (never heard of it before I saw this set).

If you look behind the plastic trays, they have cards for each piece which are very well done. There's no way to know there there unless you pull them out. Did you see those?

Thanks for pointing that out. I never would have found them! A good set just got a little better.

Just saw this
http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/ ... oduct.html

6-pack coming out soon. Nice and affordable for those of us who want to build our Watchmen collection without spending a heap on that original box.
