but here comes ROBOCOP!



"they said 'we better wait for another day!'"
"sting and robocop have asserted themselves here!"

"and i've got somebody in a box... that'll make the joker look like mickey mouse..."
"supe... superman... i call him supe..."
"spidey baby..."
"left and right turn indicator in your car..."
"i gotta get doctor frank in here anyway..."
"he's not a nice man, is he..."

where is my watchmen button? seriously. i'm really hoping that the theater people have a huge sack of these smiley face buttons (with the dollop of human bean juice) when i get to the door of the midnight showing next week.

the watchmen merchandising machine so far is looking pretty nice, with the wooden doomsday clock and the rorschach mask/grappling gun or the comedian's framed guns and dog tags set (both a bit pricey for my currently cash-strapped pockets). but, even though there is a pin set available, there is not a smiley face pin to be had!

what gives, guys?

semi-related note: does anyone else remember back in 2000 when dc direct (always on point with the correctness!) was going to release a set of action figures based on dave gibbons art? toyfare had pictures and i'm pretty sure i physically drooled onto the page.

thanks to alan moore vs. dc kerfuffle no. 4080, the set got scuttlked at the prototype stage.

overall, i want toys and merchandise that's related to the comic, not the movie. i'm down with the movie, most definitely, but the comic is what i love, and want more than almost anything to be able to show appreciation for. y'heard?

holler in the comments or some sich nonsense if you got something to say.

BOOM BOOM BOOM LET'S GO BACK TO MY ROOM...
