I ordered "The Comedian" from one million comics and it took them over a month to get here. I had to order it elsewhere. Once I did receive it I tried to send it back but they would not answer my emails on direction to return it. They are a poor company to deal with. I will never do buisness with them again.

I got this, Rorschach, and old Niteowl. old nite owl is okay but comes with this block thing and I don't know what to do with it. Rorschach doesn't move a lot, and this one's right shoulder pad breaks a lot.

My boyfriend loves comics. He loves Watchmen, so I purchased most of the character figures for him to display in our house.
These looks great, and come with a stand and scene- however, as nice as they look, they fall over regularly. Not that big of a deal, but there's been countless times when we've arrived home to find one (or none) still standing tall. It seems like the weight of the figures might be a little too much for what was provided.

The Comedian figure is pretty much great. The only complaint I have is the durability. His red shoulder pad broke off after very moderate play. I was able to glue it on after a few tries. Overall good but be careful with it.

The Comedian rocks and so does this "action figure" (read "toy"). He (and others) guard my computers from intruders. ;)

This sculpt is outstanding, although the paint can be "hit and miss" (and a bit sloppy).

It is a good likeness to the character, and good for display. I have two: One for display, and one still sealed in, and never to leave, it's box.

I feel that the only better Watchmen sculpt available, and this is strictly my opinion, is NBite Owl II (Modern Costume).

I am happy with my purchase.

While not quite as accurately sculpted as some of the other figures in this line- his hair should be a bit puffier, given the scene they took this particular version of the Comedian from, and he doesn't resemble the actor who played him in the film as much as, for example, the Hollis Mason figure resembles his actor- this figure makes up for what he lacks in the likeness department in terms of sheer detail. He comes packaged with his two guns, just like in the film, and they even include a teeny-tiny dedication on the handles. One side of each reads "To Edward Blake, with Gratitude", and the other side says "Richard Nixon, 1972"- a nod to the in-story detail that the Comedian murdered Woodward and Bernstein and therefore helped keep Nixon in office.

His shoulder pads are a bit fragile, but, well, he's not a kids' toy anyway. I had a bit of trouble fitting a gun into his right hand and just ended up holstering it instead. This may vary from figure to figure, though- thinking back to my friend's own Comedian figure and the ones I've seen in stores, there seems to be a lot of small, accidental variations from one to the other.

I m a toy collector alongs with comics and movies. watchmen toys are so valued and worth.i must say its uniguely toy more like classic.In the future would be great value as antigue goods.
