An Old Unaired Watchman Toy Ad or Something Else?

by

While looking for a fodder for a post that allowed me to do the least amount of work possible, I ran into a toy ad on YouTube. It’s an un-aired toy ad for an Ozymandias action figure toy that was never produced… or is it?

Ozymandias is a character from the seminal Watchmen comic, arguably one of the best graphic novels ever produced. The ad was made by this fellow for a Watchman contest that had users making ads for products by Veidt Enterprises, the company owned by the fellow who is Ozymandias. While this ad is clearly not real, it’s still pretty sweet. Gotta love the use of the big Ken doll for Ozymandias. It kind of fits the character to a T. I also love his tiger thing. I don’t remember it from the comics but it’s been awhile.

Anyway, anyone else looking forward to the movie? I know there will be millions of fanboys that will hate it because it won’t be close enough to the comic, but I’m hopeful that it will turn out well.

    Bubastic was the tiger’s name.. And yeah, it was in the story.

    I’m looking forward to the movie(and the action figures that accompany especially) but I am afraid that it might end up sucking. I think it’s fair to fear that this movie may suck, because 300 wasn’t exactly the most psychologically challenging movie ever, and while I loved the Dawn remake, it wasn’t exactly up to par either.

    But as long as they remain true to actual pages of the novel, it should be really good.

    I love the smear of jelly on the kid’s breakfast plate. Nice and subtle…
