Watchmen Kubrick Figures

The Blot had a feeling when Medicom Toy first announced the release of its line of Watchmen 100% Be@rbirck figures that the Japanese toy company would follow those figures up with a line of 100% Watchmen Kubrick figures. We now have confirmation that Medicom is in fact releasing a series of blind box Watchmen Kubrick vinyl figures later in the year. The upcoming Kubrick series will include The Comedian, Nite Owl II, Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach and Silk Spectre II.

No word yet on what the ratios of each figure will be, but it can be expected that one of the main six characters will be pretty hard to find. I am also expecting at least one, maybe two, super rare mystery chase figures to be included in the Watchmen Kubrick series. My guess is one of those mystery chase figures will probably be a Silk Spectre I Kubrick.

Look for the Watchmen Kubrick series to hit stores sometime during June of 2009. A case of 24 blind boxed figures will retail for around $260, so each blind box should sell for between $10-11.
