I’m gonna bet you’ll have a hard time seeing out of these milky white lenses, but that’s just me.  But if you’re a serious cosplayer, you can head over to King of Swords and grab a pair for $59.95 (USD), where they remind you these are NON-prescription contacts, and that they are not recommended for sleeping.

Dr. Monkhattan, as this version happens to be named, is from the wearing-black-man-panties stage of the superman’s development, so there’s no issue of bright blue sock monkey genitals to be addressed.

Crafty Crafty has a round-up of some of the more unique and interesting examples of crafters’ takes on Watchmen, including a Hello Kitty/Rorshach mashup flash drive that can go toe-to-toe on the randomness scale with Dr. Monkhattan any day.
