Watchmen “The End Is Nigh” 100% and 400% Be@rbrick Set

It appears we have another Medicom Toy x DC Comics limited edition Japan exclusive 400% Be@rbrick on our hands. First came the 400% Why So Serious? The Dark Knight Be@rbrick and now we have an all new Watchmen 100% and 400% Be@rbrick set. Medicom did a really great job incorporating different aspects of the comic book/movie on to their classic Be@rbrick platform.


The front of the two figures resemble The Comedian’s blood splattered yellow smiley face pin with the words “The End Is Nigh” (a tribute to the sandwich board carried by a mysterious person throughout the book/movie) written on its stomach. The back features the classic yellow Watchmen title with a black background. I know the Watchmen movie wasn’t for everyone but I loved it, and this soon to be released Be@rbrick set is an excellent way to pay tribute to an amazing comic book series.

The Medicom x DC Comics Watchmen "The End Is Nigh" 100% & 400% Be@rbrick set will be available in select Japanese stores and online to residents of Japan sometime during May of 2009. The Watchmen Be@rbrick two figure set will retail for around $70.

Star Trek One Sheet Enterprise Movie Poster

Even after all of the ads and all of the trailers, The Blot still doesn’t know how Paramount and J.J. Abrams are going to take Star Trek mainstream again. I think years and years of bad PR have left a permanent stigma on this once proud sci-fi franchise. I do like this new Enterprise theatrical one sheet movie poster though and am pretty excited to see the prequel in theaters.


So far my only complaint is the Enterprise’s bridge looks like a giant Mac computer. But Apple is slowly taking over the computer industry, so who knows. Maybe in the future Apple changes its focus to the development of starships with warp capabilities. It might even one day change its name from Apple to Starfleet.

Star Trek opens in US theaters on May 8, 2009.
