Of course they'll be making toys. This is a great oppotunity to get figures and such out there.
The nice part is that they're "classic" designs, not updated or anything like that.

I wish the Watchmen movie toys were 4" though. Would have liked to have a toy version of Night Owl's ship as well.

Yes, 1/18th scale Watchmen would be great. But I do not like that DC is going ahead with this NOT endorsed by Alan Moore.
I will wait until they inevitably collect the series in a TPB or two.

It's all about business and money. I can see why Gibbons and Moore not wanting to participate in this. The Watchman was an original piece of work from 2 artists with a singular vision. Much like a Beatles album. 25 years later, would you settle for a tribute album from various artists. If this was a Moore/Gibbons collaboration with an original tale, then I'd be interested. But this is more of a sell-out. 34 issues of loosely related stories by various talent cheapens the original.

Some guy that worked for 3M designed and invented the Post It note. He created one size and color. 3M owns it, as it is work for hire or invention for hire. I still enjoy Post it notes, but use all sorts of colors and sizes. I prefer the mid-size off yellow, but others have their purpose.....
This crap will be the same way...

It in no way cheapens the original. It has no affect on the original.
I don't think DC needed to make these because there was no need. The original was a complete story. There's no need for more stories to be built off of it, which is the only reason I think a book should be published: if it adds to the story. This is an attempt to get money. That's all. Can't fault the other creators. It's kind of a dream job, to play in the Watchmen sandbox. But it in no way, shape or form cheapens the original.

I have mixed feelings on this, as there was no need for it. On the other hand, Len Wein, Straczynski, you cannot go wrong there!!!
As for the toys, if they are from DC Direct, count me out. If they are from Mattel, count me in.

I don't like that DC is going forward with Superman comics NOT endorsed by Siegal & Shuster.
