Description: Watchmen. DC Comics' best-selling graphic novel took readers on a journey into a world where superheroes really existed and explored how the existence of masked heroes would alter world history. Visionary director Zack Snyder brought that groundbreaking vision to film in 2009's Watchmen adaptation, bringing to life the characters and the world so ably drawn by British artist Dave Gibbons. HeroClix players can now campaign in the world of Watchmen with the HeroClix Watchmen Collector's Set which includes 25 highly detailed miniatures of the film's characters, including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Nite Owl, and Silk Spectre. Each figure features a sculpt based on the character's appearance in the film, and they are compatible with other HeroClix sets, allowing you to pit your favorite characters against the heroes and villains of Watchmen.Publish Post

In a world where the American economy has all but collapsed to the levels of the Great Depression, infamous bandits roam the country and the law is as corrupt as the criminals it's sworn to stop. Yet one lawman remains a steadfast moral compass for the people: WYATT EARP. Earp has collared more most-wanted men than anyone in history - but after a violent assignment claims the life of his brother, Wyatt sets out to forge a simple life in the only boomtown left: Las Vegas. With gorgeous women and free-flowing money on endless tap, Sin City attracts more people than a modern gold rush.
