First of all, it's January. There is no need to be making Watchmen movie Halloween costumes, except as a crew mockery of all Moore holds dear. Second, HOLY GOD THESE THINGS ARE TERRIBLE. Third, can you imagine some poor kid knocking on Moore's door in one of these things on Halloween? Fourth, do you think they'll let Moore write comics from jail after he murders a child? Thanks to TR contributor Chris Cummins for the tip. (Via Watchmen Comic Movie)

I like my costume.
-
My favorite character in the comic is Rorschach. He kicks ass. He reminds me of Batman but without the mansion or the high tech gadgets.
-
I think that Hollywood could of made the costumes look more like the ones in the comic. Instead they made them the same way they made the Batman costumes which sucked. The only costume that looks like the one in the comic is Rorschach's costume.
-
Rorschach's costume could be improved greatly with a pair of purple pinstripes pants.

>> So goes another of the beloved things from my childhood. All I can say is if they ever make a film from 'Flaming Carrot', or 'Cerebus' there will be BLOOD. Yknow, I was so pissed when they announced the Mystery Men movie with no FC - then I saw it, and was grateful the Carrot wasn't anywhere near it.

Well, the comedian was a rapist in the book, wasn't he?

Dr. Manhattan costume: Step 1. Get naked. Step 2. Shave head. Step 3. Submerge self in tub of blueberry juice. Step 4. Get out attend Con. You're done. Alternate method: Step 1. Get naked. Step 2. Shave head. Step 3. Submerge self in freezing water for 20 minutes. Step 4. Exit water. Go directly to Con. For added realism, you may want to shave all your body hair and draw Doc Manhattan's symbol on your forehead with a Sharpie. If you wear pants, you're a wimp.

Upon seeing the Rorshach pic, my six year old said "He's wearing a robe. He's a 'get off my lawn' guy. 'Get off my lawn you kids!!!'" It is so, so true.

My imagining of that scene, Snoodle: *opens envelope with the above photos* "Aw, sweet bleedin' Glycon, NO! NononononoNOOOO!!" *hurls an authentic Jivaro shrunken head through an 18th century ritual magic mirror* "Sodding damn hell - MELINDA! WHERE'S ME FOOKIN' WEED?!" *storms off to commune with the undead spirit of Will Eisner, whom he keeps in a bell jar in his attic*
-
Judging from the models, these costumes look like they are meant for adults, which seems way more pathetic. Just, wow. I totally have no respect for the man that parades around in one of these.
-
I love Watchmen to pieces, and those costumes are hideous and disrespectful, but I can't help but laugh thinking of Alan Moore's reaction every single time there's a new piece of merchandise.
-
Templar - the Mysterymen are indeed from Bob Burden's weird, dreamlike universe, and the movie was just about as awful as I'd expected on seeing the previews. Thankfully, the Flaming Carrot himself never showed up in it. I can only imagine how lame the most Dada of all superheroes would be as imagined by that particular creative team. Anyone with a spray-can of blue enamel paint and six months to spend in the gym can put together a pretty convincing Dr. Manhattan costume for cheap, so long as you don't mind the inevitable arrest on indecent exposure charges. Or dying from the blocked pores and system-wide poisoning - but you'd be the hit of that last Halloween party!

Am I the only one that sees Ozymandias johnson? Also, I think Nite Owl is an illegal immigrant.

Wheres the Dr. Manhattan costume?

-
these prove that the watchman movie stuff has gone overboard for only the true fans of the classic will be buying those costumes and what no Manhattan to round out the set?
-
I dare someone to wear these rags to Comic Con. They will be beaten with fake lightsabers and over-sized bags of free junk.
-
Yeah. The only reason I can see buying any of this is because it would be much harder to make a workable Rorschach mask you could see out of than to just buy the one they show on the website. Apart from that, I could make a better Rorschach costume in an hour.
-
Why does Rorschach have a stocking with little Xmas trees on his face? And why is he wearing a bathrobe? He looks less like a terrifying and utterly mad vigilante and more like someone's senile grandad who has wandered off from the nursing home... And yeah, it sort of defeats the irony inherent in the name 'The Comedian' when you laugh on sight of the poor chubby bastard. Looks like one of Freddy Mercury's less successful stage costumes. So goes another of the beloved things from my childhood. All I can say is if they ever make a film from 'Flaming Carrot', or 'Cerebus' there will be BLOOD.
-
They need to have an Alan Moore costume. Now THAT would be scary.
-
@Nick Marino You're right, that's the first thing I thought of too!
-
Things I am rocking this Halloween: That Comedian outfit. Good lord, the shenanigans will be glorious.
-
the silk spectre II looks pretty hot though.. the rest is an EPIC FAIL
-
except as a crew mockery of all Moore holds dear You don't want to mock Alan Moore's crew. David Lloyd'll cut a bitch. And yes, he gives whatever money he makes from films of his comics to the artist. I believe he gave all the V For Vendetta profits and credit to the aforementioned Lloyd.
-
MyNoNos, wtf are you talking about? Alan Moore doesn't own the Watchmen license, so he's not making money from the movie or from recent graphic novel sales.
-
Considering Moore lives in Northampton I don't think he'd open his door on Halloween anyway, unless he wants to get knifed.
-
Yep, the Ozymandias costume should read, "Look upon my nipples ye mighty and despair!" On the plus side, these look to be the first costumes ever that are available in "Husky."
-
No offense but I'm sure the mere sight of that grizzly fucker would keep the trick or treaters far from A. Moores doorstep! Also, until that grouchy bastards gives the millions upon millions of dollars he stands to gain from the movie and all the merchandise that he so despises to me or poor cambodian children, I think he should try keeping his whining to an inaudible minimum.
-
Lookin' good Comedian.
-
It looks like the guy in the Comedian costume beat up Bob Hoskins and stole his Mario costume that he wore in the Super Mario Bros movie.
-
I first thought these were merely 12" figures. Yikes.
