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.

Watchmen 100% Be@rbrick Set A - The Comedian, Nite Owl II & Ozymandias Be@rbricks
Watchmen 100% Be@rbrick Set B - Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach & Silk Spectre II Be@rbricks
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).
