Oh wow. How did I miss this? That is WILD. Somebody let Alan Moore know so he can dissavow this one too! Can't wait to see how they handle the part where he ties all the dead, bloated bodies of his shipmates together to use as a raft. In anime style no less? I can't see it being included in the movie, but it's definitely a story that can stand on it's own.
I thought they'd really have to dumb down Watchmen to make it palatable to the general public, but Zack Snyder obviously isn't intimidated with the scope of the story.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

A shame, the piece is really nicely sculpted, but the delts are just too large.

Spot on criticism. I was checking this out in my LCS and I thought the same. The proportions are a mess. He's too narrow in the hips.

Jon in the house!

I LOVE the sculpt, it's great, sculpted by Tim Brukner, the awesome sculptor who also did the Kingdom Come figure line.

He's beein in sculpting business very long so the proportion isn't a mistake, it's artist perspective and I'm liking it a lot.

I have all the respect in the world for Tim Bruckner, the man is a master.
I don't know if the decision to alter the proportions on this sculpt came from the artist or the art director, it's their decision finally to go in the direction they chose for their product. However, when a guys butt is about the same width as his neck, I don't think it's out of line to say that I find the proportions so out of line to be almost abstract. Perhaps, if that's the direction they wanted to go in, they should have gone even further, instead of making it look like it was just badly proportioned . Just not my cup of tea.

Tales of The Black freighter will be direct to dvd/blu ray. And yes it has lots of gore and dead bodies just like from the graphic novel. check out the trailer http://media.dvd.ign.com/media/142/14256407/vids_1.html And from what I ive read in magazines,The Watchmen movie is going to be very faithful to the graphic novel. It will be rated R so nothing will be dumb down.
