Toys and Games Reviews of Watchmen Movie Rorschach Action Figure
Customer Review: Hrmmmm
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been waiting a long time to get a Rorschach action figure. The original comic book had a section on a proposed Watchmen figure line featuring Rorschach and Night Owl, and as a kid that had me drooling in anticipation. I wanted those toys so badly! Next, I saw the prototype figures for Watchmen figures at the 2000 San Diego Comic Con, and although Rorschach wasn't among them you knew that he would be coming along soon enough. But that figure line was canceled due to complaints by author Alan Moore. I understood and respect his point of view, but I still wish I had those figures!
But at last, here we are. Not exactly the action figures I was hoping for, as they are based on the film adaptation, but it is hard to complain. Of all the Wave 1 figures based on the new "Watchmen" film, this is obviously the figure to get. Not just because it is of Rorschach, but because unlike Nite Owl, Silk Spectre and Ozymandias, Rorschach's costume wasn't changed from the original comic book.
This is clearly a collector's figure, and not really meant for play. On the box they even call it a "Collector Action Figure", just so no one misunderstands. It is much more of a plastic statue than anything else, with limited posability. The arms can bend at the elbow and rotate at the shoulder, but the legs are immobile. As far as the sculpting goes, it is perfect. He looks exactly what Rorschach should look like. In the modern era of laser-scanning technology, one expects nothing less.
It stands about 6-7 inches high, maybe a little bit more if you include the base. The base, which looks like a vaguely industrial stand, is important, as the figure can't really stand on its own. It attaches in a method I haven't seen before, where you push a peg up from the bottom into the figures foot. You have to be careful, as I almost threw out the little pegs along with the packaging before I realized what they were! There are three spots for the peg, so you have a little choice on positioning although not in pose.
They could have done a little more with the figure, like giving you a "Kovacs" head to swap out and a "The End is Nigh" sign-board. (Although you can buy this version as a variant figure.) One of the hands can be replaced with a gripping hand to hold his included grappling gun, but that is about it. For the price it is a bare-bones figure.
Not quite the figure I wanted so badly as a kid (and still want!), but it is pretty cool to have a Rorschach figure on my desk menacing my other figures, including the original hero Rorschach was based on, The Question.
