Worse, although Germany will be getting this "special edition" of Watchmen, they won't be getting the director's cut -- Paramount has the rights to worldwide release of the theatrical cut while Warner Bros. has the extended version, and they either are waiting to release it or still figuring out how to split the future sales with Fox or something. Point is, sucks to be nerdy and German at the moment. (Via Blu-ray Blog)

It still looks better than the Iron Man and Batman mask DVD cases.

I real victims here will be Poland and Austria,followed by France and possibly the Netherlands; those poor guys will take the full wrath of a Watchman shafted Germany.
Its times like this that make me proud to live in the safe confines of the good ol US of A.

Yeah, those head cases are really ugly.
I was stupid enough to buy the Iron Man head case and I learned my lesson.

I think a big blue cock as the DVD box set would be very fitting for watchmen.
For upcoming movies Transformers could be two big balls, each ball a disc.
GI joe could be a steaming pile of shit box with deluxe stink lines.
Terminator could be a big bloody heart.
Star Trek could be a special edition furry Tribble set.

Well that's...special. It does look better than a lot of the 'head' cases around lately though.
Personally I want a sculpt of Ozymandias (sitting in his chair in front of that wall of TV screens petting Bubastis), and then there's a button on his chair that makes the DVD pop out of the top of the TV screens.
Because to me, that would be awesome.

I would buy that, sadly.

I...kind of like those head cases. I've got the Batman and Iron Man ones,and would probably pick up the Rorschach version if it hits Target.

I really love the recent trend of novelty DVD cases (seemingly due to the introduction of Blu-Ray)-- the Big Libowski bowling ball case, the Transformers Optimus and Megatron transforming figure cases, the Batman and Iron Man face/mask cases, the Jack Skellington bust case, the list goes on...
This, however, is just weird.
