This is one of the precious few times I'm regretful that I cannot take pictures.

Today my Saint Walker and Rorschach figures finally came in.

And the Watchmen Club figures have completely blown my mind! I was expecting pretty much the exact same thing as the standard CIE, only with a watchmen theme to the package. That's reasonable, right?

I opened up the shipping box, and there was the usual white box that Saint Walker was in. But Rory was muuuuch bigger. Almost as large as the white boxes that they send the oversized figures in.

And it's not white, it's black. And it looks very much to be themed on a comic cover. It's black. And it has WATCHMEN on top in the usual watchmen font, and RORSCHACH at the bottom in yellow letters, with the doomsday clock at 11:42 (I'll be interested if this clock changes with each release).
It's the same on botch front and back. But on the sides, it's unique.
On one side, it has black inkblots on a yellow backgrounds, and on the other side it has a black and yellow brck wall pattern (Black bricks, yellow grout), with letters that are part of a graphitti marger than the image, that would say "Who Watches the Watchmen?"
I will be extremely curious if future releases form the entire phrase, when put all together bookcase style.

That was interesting enough. But it doesn't end there.

I opened it and pulled out a friggin COMIC BOOK.

Rorschach's package is a friggin' comic book! It's a very large cardboard and plastic clamshell, with the front being the very iconic main Watchmen cover, with the drop of crimson red blood over the tilted eye.
The white plastic that contains the figure on the outside is molded to look like pages. The spine was the traditional WATCHMEN font, with a yellow and black drawing of Rory.
Inset onto the covor's side of the interior is a large card with Roiry art. On the back of the card is a bio that reads like Prose, and almost sounds like a page from Rory's journal.

Rory himself is gently inset inside his bubble, with no restraints save for the molding of the package. He has a very impressively sculpted grappling hook, and behind him is a sculpted multi-dimentional figure stand (To say 3D would be too much, but it is far from flat like a normal DCUC figure stand).

Rorschach himself is about what you would expect from a Mattel DCUC figure when they're on their game. There's not much else to say about him, because he's great. He's not a surprise wonder like some DCUCs can be, but he's not nearly as bad as people were trashing him from early on.
(Minor note, beware. He does have one of thise clear rubber bands tied around his feet, that will rip through the thin plastic of the sealed bubble if you're not careful.)

This is AMAZING! I am SO GLAD I subscribed to the Watchmen sub! This is definately my highlight of the year so far!
The Watchmen line is more expensive, and I know that turned a lot of people off of it, but they have truely made this something more special than their standard subscription lines.

Also, I appologize if the packaging had been known and reported about. But I recalled seeing nothing about packaging this special when Mattel was talking about the sub.
