Lego Watchmen?

[Ronan Nissen]

Would you or would'nt you like to have Watchmen sets based on the new film?

[Mr Spielbrick]

Isn't that going to be a violent, violent film? Not very suitable as a new LEGO line. The characters look cool, but I'm such a pop culture nut I'd buy any minifig based on a film or tv character...!

[Deinonychus]

Yeah...we should have those...right after LEGO gives us Halo sets of course ;-)

[the enigma that is badger]

Sexual assault, genocide, and full frontal, bright blue nudity.

Yep, that's got TLC written all over it.

full frontal, bright blue nudity.

And a threesome, no less.

[Dadster]

Hurrm.

Rorschach in Lego form? No Way. Never happen.

[Joebot]

To be fair, I think the original question was "Would you like to see Watchmen Lego sets?" not "Do you think we'll get Watchmen Lego sets?" The answer to that second question is obviously a big, fat NO, given the subject matter.

But to answer the first question ... hell yes! The Nite Owl sets would be very cool.

I'm trying to be optimistic about the upcoming movie, but I dunno.

Oh boy another " new crap license idea" thread :-|

Don't you guys have nothing else to do than request lines that will never happen ??

And names I have to look up to see what it actually is :-D

*yoda*

:-D

I think this calls for a repost!

Here's the deal people...Licensed LEGO themes ARE NOT the vehicle for your personal favorite franchise to be made into toys. LEGO is very careful about choosing what licenses they make into sets. With very few exceptions (Avatar and Jurassic Park jump to mind, but I think Avatar may have been a package deal with Spongebob) they are themes that have a broad, perhaps even worldwide, appeal.

LEGO has also prospered so long by staying somewhat true to a building, learning, and fun angle with their products, and if something can't easily fit into those requirements, then it won't be licensed. I've also noticed the themes that seem to do the best are heavily vehicle based. As in Batman doing relatively well where Spider-Man crashed and burned.

Perhaps I can wedge that into my sig

I knew Spiderman was "hot" at the time, but using him as a line of sets was confounding.

Spiderman's about a guy (minifig) who fights strange enemies (minifig) in city locations (just... buildings...). Must've been some strange licensing package deal, like the one you theorized with Spongebob and Avatar.

Now, if you want a license with worldwide appeal and vehicles... Transformers.

And why not? If Hasbro has Star Wars and Transformers, why not Lego too?

It'd be a great way for Lego to introduce smaller robot faces into our mechs. Lego finally delivered on "fingers", now we need a way to have cool, Transformer-like faces that aren't just 1-piece bricks like the dead Built To Rule line had.

[Ronan Nissen]

Jeez, you guys take topics WAY too seriously!!

[jedikermit]

Ronan, for the record, I love the idea of Watchmen LEGO. We all know it won't ever happen, but I think the designs of the characters, the vehicles and locations would really lend themselves nicely to that particular group of superheroes.

Blowing each others brains out.

*wub*

Yeah, it's a job for customizers.

Good Point! And yes, I agree that a Nite Owl vehicle would be awesome!

Suggest this Smurf pretty daisy? :-P X-D ;-)

I don't know if I want it, not much heard about this watchmen story.

I not wanted Speed racers license, but it have some nice pieces and figs, so maybe I would buy something from it.
