Now that I got your attention (here, have some bleach for the mental image), by a strange twist of fate (or a fiendish plot, not 100% sure which applies) I came across by a couple of blister packs for the Batman Miniature Game by Knight Models.
In particular, I went for a set of the Watchmen figures, because apart from the 1960s' Batman TV show and movie, it's pretty much the only superhero stuff I really like. Don't get me wrong, the Burton and Nolan Batman flicks are rather good pieces of film-making, they don't capture my imagination quite as much. Neither does Spidey or the Avengers except for the first Captain America and Ironman pieces. Never was a superhero fan by any length.
But anyway, I got the Watchmen figures and a handful of the Gotham Police packs since those would be useful for various settings. Not too impressed by the figures, and if the ones I got are indicative of Knight Models' overall quality, I'm happy I didn't actually pay money for them. Poor casting quality, wrong parts (a right hand where it should have been a left) and overall tricky assembly won't see me hurry to get more.
Still, the Watchmen went together well and painted up a treat. I'm considering doing an Owlship plus a Sing-Sing gameboard, since my other option (Times Square ca. 1975) is a bit daunting due to the required investments and work for which I just don't have the time and enthusiasm anymore. Getting old, methinks.
Some nice figures came out of it. Don't know how much more I'll do for this project, but I wanted to show you these for your amusement.
First, a group shot. I quite liked the schemes used for the stat cards and so didn't go for a proper movie or comic book scheme.
Plus individual shots:
Nite Owl II:
Silk Spectre II:
Rorschach:
Ozymandias:
And finally the Comedian:
Thanks for looking! Comments welcome, as usual.
