Watchmen 100% Be@rbrick Sets

Now this is a movie tie in The Blot can get behind! On March 3, 2009 Medicom Toy will be releasing two different Watchmen 100% Be@rbrick sets. Set A includes The Comedian, Nite Owl II and Ozymandias, while Watchmen Be@rbrick Set B will include Doctor Manhattan, Rorschach and Silk Spectre II.



Each 3 figure Watchmen Be@rbrick set will retail for around $45 and should be available worldwide. Since no real Watchmen fan could possibly buy just one of the sets, it’s going to end up costing collectors $90 for all six figures. That’s kind of a lot if you ask me. While we can all be thankful Medicom isn’t releasing its Watchmen Be@rbricks as a blind box series, each set ends up selling for about $15 a figure which in my opinion is way too much for 100% Be@rbricks. At least this way it will be extremely easy to complete the set (and that sort of justifies the inflated price).

Marvel Mighty Muggs Wave 6 - The X-Men

The Blot has been wondering for months why none of Marvel’s merry mutants other than Wolverine have been included in any of Hasbro’s previously released Marvel Mighty Muggs waves. Thankfully Hasbro has finally unleashed X-Men Mighty Muggs on the world with its Marvel Mighty Muggs Wave 6. I’m not really feeling Sabretooth’s head (his face looks kind of weird) and it’s been too many years since Scott Summers has worn his original Cyclops uniform to deserve a figure, but over all Wave 6 is pretty solid. We finally get a new Wolverine colorway, this time an out of uniform Logan Mighty Mugg, and who could complain about Jean Grey as the good Phoenix.


On a side note, it looks like Hasbro is raising the price of Mighty Muggs again with multiple retailers pre-selling Marvel Mighty Muggs Wave 6 as a four figure set for between $50-60. You can expect Marvel Mighty Muggs Wave 6 to hit store shelves sometime in February or March of 2009.
