Posthuman God

Dubbed as the Most Supreme Being of DC Comics, I present to you, Doctor Manhattan, named after the Manhattan Project. A nuclear physicist, who after being deconstructed, his reanimation made him teeming with superpowers. A character created by one of the most celebrated graphic novelist, Alan Moore.

Going Nuclear!
The blue man consisted of 11 pieces – 1 head, 1 leg connector, 2 legs, 1 torso, 2 arms, 3 hands, and 1 basic baseplate with 4 studs.

Deconstructed Doc Manhattan
The torso is straight forward, much like the character in comic version – just outlines of chest and abdomen.

Blue Mannequin
The head is printed with the eerie white eyes, black eyeliners and dark blue shadows. The iconic bull’s eye mark looks like a third eye. Fans would be disappointed to find a perfect mark where the outer circle should have a dot at the top center. Nonetheless, the head represents Doctor Manhattan.

Don’t stare!
No dual printing in the head and the back torso has simple lines.

Who that?!
The legs have no printing and the connector is plain black, to represent Doctor Manhattan’s creepy beach guy look.

Blue Legs in a Black Trunks
No side arms printing, as well. Overall, an unremarkable minifigure. Nothing special.

Let’s go to the beach!
There is no known official minifigure of Doctor Manhattan to date, so for fans of Watchmen, the Xinh knockoff is a must have.
