Watchmen Action Figures

[Pics taken from Michael Crawford's Review]

Probably one of the many great movies i've seen this year. I know this post should have been posted earlier, but its more fun to do it when we actually can. Plus, i just saw the Watchmen movie today again, and i'm abit more curious about the action figure line, so lets get up to speed with it.

Watchmen action figure line was produced by DC Direct (The Coolest) which only makes collecting from DC Direct more worth it, Even after seeing the movie, and these action figures, it got me thinking whether i should jump in and get me these lines, they look pretty impressive. But don't take my word for it, this is just coming from someone who has an obsession with collecting action figures, im sure you all have these problem.

Now these Watchmen action figures came in 2 wave series based on the Movie. 1st Wave consists of Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Rorschach, Silk Spectre II. Wave 2 has The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl I, and Silk Spectre I. Each action figure measures 6 1/4 to 6 3/4-inch tall and feature multiple points of articulation, presentation bases and are packaged in a 4-color window box. These figures are available as of February 2009. Do you think its still late? There's always e-Bay.

Well there you go, now check out the packaging shown below, looks like the same packaging we all love made by DC Direct, it really is a trademark from them and it does look nice when displaying on your shelves, just makes you itch and be more tempted to open them up.

So last but not least, so you see now why do i want to jump into these figures? No? Well for one, the detail on these figures are just simply amazing, and its a good thing they covered up Dr.Manhattan private parts, makes it more easier on the eye. Articulation is always but a low for DC Direct, but maybe thats because their not just "Toys", their more of a collectibles by all standards, I must admit, my favorite figures here are probabbly Silk Spectre II, Nite Owl II, Rorschach and The Comedian. Why? Coz we think it's a cool line to add to your collection.

Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Batman: Arkham Asylum Delayed

Rumors of a delay for Batman: Arkham Asylum, Eidos and Warner Bros Interactive have confirmed that the game has been pushed back. Speculation pegged the new date in the fourth quarter of 2009, and many thought that meant a definite holiday release. Eidos has now said the game will actually release at the "end of summer 2009," which means it has to release by September 21, still (barely) in third quarter.

The press release states that the additional development time is "to ensure Batman: Arkham Asylum is of the highest quality for gamers." In other words, it's probably about bug squashing and polishing up the game for release, not to mention taking advantage of the high anticipation by hitting just before the holiday release window.

Still can't wait for this game to come out...But hey check out the video preview from gamespot.

Rise Orion of Apokolips

Born Warrior and Bred for Battle, Orion is the Fourth World’s fiercest fighter, channeling his rage into a useful force to reckon with. Orion, who first appeared in the New Gods 1st series back in March 1971, Orion whose based in New Genesis, stands 6ft 1inch, possesses enormous strength in comparison with his fellow gods, as well as a fierce warrior’s instinct; rides on his astro-glider which allows him inter-spatial and inter-dimensional travel.

To forestall a caraclysmic battle between New Genesis and Apokolips, the planet’s respective leaders Highfather and Darkseid made a peace treaty known as The Pact, whereby each god gave up his son to be raised by the other. On New Genesis, Orion’s feral nature stood out amongst the peaceful inhabitants, Over time, Orion was given a Mother Box, a sentient computer that calmed his mind and actually smoothed over his coarse features. Soon after, he was befriended by Lightray and the two became inseparable. Orion was dispatched to Earth, where Darkseid had been seeking the secret of the Anti-Life Equation. At one point, Orion and Lightray served with Earth’s protectors, The Justice League of America. Darkseid and his son battled frequently, culminating in Orion apparently killing Darkseid and assuming the rule of Apokolips.

Empowered by the Anti-Life Equation, Orion began mentally enslaving the inhabitants of Apokolips, New Genesis and Earth in the name of peace. Mister Miracle teleported Orion to the Abysmal Plane, home of “the guardian of the cosmic axis” known as Clockwerx. Orion surrendered control of the Anti-Life Equation to the entities, effectively destroying them. Afterward, Orion later discovered that Scott Free was in possession of the Anti-Life Equation.
