This review is from: DC Comics Watchmen Movie Comedian 1:6 Scale Figure (Toy)
Having gotten the Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan 12" figures off of Amazon at reduced price, I was pondering over getting one of the Comedians, especially as the price dropped as well. Then again, if you want a set of the Watchmen figures, you can't really avoid him.
As much as I don't like this amoral character in the graphic novel which is an expected reaction as he isn't supposed to be likable, this figure is actually very impressive and imposing. Unlike the reviews I've seen elsewhere on the Net, my Comedian's smiley badges on his lapel and guns weren't plain but had the smilies on. If this only happened with the latter batch, then the last few on Amazon will be gobbled up pretty quick with that knowledge. There are somethings to be careful of. The mask just rests on his nose so be careful how you lift him or spent time on the floor looking for it. His cigar is permanently stuck in his mouth. The spare pair of hands don't grip the guns very well, especially when its compared to Rorschach, but it looks neater if he's lighting on with one hand and resting the other over his guns. Don't forget to tilt his head slightly for the typical pose. Having said that, a great model. Just wish they'd do a Nite Owl II at this scale.

This review is from: DC Comics Watchmen Movie Comedian 1:6 Scale Figure (Toy)
I was happy to get this figure at a reduced price to go with the Rorshach and Dr. Manhattan figures from this line. Opening the figure, I was impressed by the detail in the outfit (each shotgun shell on his belt is a separate, removable shell!) and the rest of the figure. The alternate set of bendy hands seemed to hold the supplied pistols well and even though the cigar in his mouth is not removeable, it makes a nice addition.
The bad part of this figure is the quality. A pose as simple as turning the torso to put the Comedian in a firing his gun action pose immediately caused it to break at the midsection link where the peg attaches to a spring. Trying to fix that caused the leg strap on his left leg holster to come apart and it will not attach firmly again now. Then, trying to actually get the brittle stand to go around the figure's waist results in that plastic piece snapping off and becoming useless as well. Given these figures are meant for display and not extended play, I did not expect a lot of durability, but I at least expected to be able to put them in one, single pose and then leave them alone for display without anything breaking, but apparently that too, is too much to expect from DC Direct quality control.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best values in 1:6 scale figures,

If your a fan of the Watchmen film, there is no way you should pass on this figure. Accurately sculpted and accessorized to look exactly like Jeffrey Dean Morgan's portrayal, the Comedian is easily the best figure in the 12 inch series thus far. My mask hugs his face well, so the mask may vary from figure to figure. Great attention to details throughout and the paint job is top notch. I wouldn't pass on this opportunity to own a high quality figure. I also agree with Geoff. I hope one day they make the Owl in the 1/6th scale as well.
