The tentative date for the Watchmen, March 9, 2009, is over a year away. There is still plenty of hype to be built at both the San Diego Comic Con and another New York Comic Con. Warner Brothers and DC Direct started early by unveiling their first series of action figures and busts.

The Series 1 Watchmen action figure line includes: Rorschach (played by Jackie Earle Haley), a Modern version of the Silk Spectre (played by Malin Akerman), a modern version of The Nite Owl (played by Patrick Wilson), and Ozymandias (played by Matthew Goode).

Pretty cool, but no Dr. Manhattan?

Deluxe Rorschach will have a place of honor next to my computer monitor. Looks sweet.

Those are some damn fine lookin toys there....Nite Owl needs more of a gut, but otherwise damn fine.

I agree with Gauleyboy. Nite Owl is a bit too much in shape. I still like its figurine, nonetheless. Oh, BTW, March 9, 2009 is UNDER a year away (less than 11 month). I know, I throw a party each 9th of the month to celebrate the closing ;)

o.k. I will bite...What's the deal with March 9? Is it your birthday? or was it the day you first slipped it into some warm, wet female flesh? or could it be you learned that the Spring Fairy was a myth? All valid questions you know, or maybe not, so what's the deal with that date? Please inform this uniformed semi solid geek...

The answer is in the first sentence of the article.
