12-Inches of Sexual Assault-Committing, Murdering Superhero Goodness
12-Inches of Sexual Assault-Committing, Murdering Superhero Goodness
?
Yep, it’s another Hot Toys figure — looks like the second in their Watchmen line will be the Comedian, everyone’s favorite superhero who shot and killed a Vietnamese woman pregnant with his child and who attempted to rape the original Silk Spectre I. Golden age indeed! I’ve got to say that after the weirdness of the Silk Spectre II figure, Hot Toys seems to have sacrificed the appropriate number of virgins to Satan or whatever so they’re back on their game — this thing is a perfect image of Jeffrey Dean Morgan from the movie. Now that this is coming out, I can’t decide what I want more — a Hot Toys Rorschach or a jury-rigged Silk Spectre I Barbie. You know why. (Via ToysREvil)
