Sideshow’s RED HULK

September 11, 2012

Crashing down from above, RED HULK cuts an impressive figure in this new statue from Sideshow. Take a look!

The statue stands a whopping 23 inches, capturing the giant perfectly. He would make a great addition to any Marvel-themed display shelf and is crafted in high-quality polystone.


BARBARIAN HULK

July 22, 2012

Marvel Select is always bringing you the best and brightest of the Marvel Universe, but their real speciality is giving the star treatment to some overlooked members of the superhero and villain pantheons. And now, BARBARIAN HULK.

Sculpted by Jean St. Jean, this huge Hulk figure casts the not-so-jolly green giant as a barbarian with long, flowing hair, an animal-skin loincloth and a skull necklace. Based on his recent look, it’s a 10-inch beast and features an impressive 16 points of articulation. More support of the theory that everything looks tougher with a beard.

The Avengers – HULK

May 29, 2012

It took Marvel studios a few tries to get The Hulk right, but when he did, it was truly Incredible. Mark Ruffalo’s turn as Dr. Banner outstripped Bana and Norton to be the ultimate depiction of the hero, a subdued, bookish man whose awkward manner belies his inner beast. Watching him unite with the other Avengers was a fangirl or fanboy’s dream come true, a testament to the awesome power of superhero fiction.

Now you can take just a bit of that awesomeness home with this 8-inch Hulk sculpture from Marvel Select. He’s in-stock and ready to ship out!


The Avengers beats Harry Potter, Hunger Games in Box-Office battle

The Avengers Movie Box Office Hit

‘The Avengers’ proved that five superheroes are better than one by bursting into Hollywood’s record books with a massive $200.3 million in ticket sales over its opening weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters, kicking off Hollywood’s summer movie season with a bang.

The domestic debut for the big-budget, effects-filled movie from Disney’s Marvel studios sped past last summer’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 2,” which opened with $169.2 million in its first weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. In March, “The Hunger Games” opened with $152.5 million, the fourth largest opening in box office history.

“The Avengers,” which reunites Marvel comic heroes Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk and Black Widow, has collected $641.8 million since it opened in international markets on April 25.

“We keep thinking we have a sense of what this movie can do, or will do, and every time we get a report it does even better,” said Dave Hollis, Disney’s executive vice-president of distribution. “This is very satisfying, to say the least.”

Disney’s aggressive marketing, which included promotions aimed at women that included sending stars to “The View” daytime talk show, resulted in women making up 40 percent of the audience for the action film, according to Disney’s survey. Half the audience was also over 25 years of age, the studio also said.

Winner of the past two weekends, Sony’s romantic comedy “Think Like a Man,” slipped to second place with $8 million at North American (U.S. and Canadian) theaters, according to Hollywood.com.

“Hunger Games,” from Lions Gate Entertainment, took the No. 3 spot in its seventh week in theaters, with $5.7 million, and has collected $380.7 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters during its run.

Warner Brothers’ “The Lucky One” landed in fourth place with $5.5 million, and the animated film “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” from Sony finished in fifth place with $5.4 million.

The undisputed success of “Avengers” brought Disney the type of redemption that Hollywood loves to put on screen. In March, Disney released the expensive sci-fi adventure film “John Carter,” one of the biggest flops in box office history. The company said it expects to lose up to $200 million on that film.

“Avengers” is the first Marvel film released by Disney since the media and theme park giant purchased Marvel Entertainment Inc in 2009 for $4 billion, a move to expand its appeal to boys with a stable of superheroes.

Disney would not say whether it plans to make a sequel. Sequels to films based on the Thor and Iron Man characters are scheduled for next year and Captain America in 2014.

About 52 percent of “The Avengers” ticket sales came from higher-priced 3D tickets, Disney said. The film sold more than $15 million in tickets on 275 digital-only large-screen IMAX theaters, IMAX said, which it said would tie it with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 2” for its highest grossing opening weekend.

The first weekend in May kicks off Hollywood’s summer movie-going season, a four-month period typically filled with big-budget action movies and sequels. Coming movies include Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Men in Black 3,” and “Battleship.”

Avengers 2 Sequel is coming

Avengers Cosplay Figures

We just took off work (don’t worry, we packed up all the orders before we left) and watched the Avengers movie this afternoon.  It was a very good Marvel movie.  Audiences have rated it an extremely high 9.0 on IMDB, and 96% of critics like it or love it.  I could definitely watch this awesome flick again, expect significant repeat viewings after a huge weekend opening.

Who is my favorite character?  Legolas….no, I meant Hawkeye.

**SPOILER ALERT** The Avengers end credit scene introduces us to Thanos, who smiles when he’s told that to attack Earth is to “court death”. Thanos in the comics is fascinated with death and nihilism. He kills millions on his home planet with nuclear bombardment before travelling to earth. He is capable of superhuman strength and can absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy, enough to obliterate planets. His most famous storyline sees him gain possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, recently glimpsed in the Thor movie (in Odin’s trophy room). Each gem of that gauntlet grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the universe: Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality, or Power. We know that Thanos is not a villain in Iron Man 3, and appears unlikely for Thor 2. So it’s fairly safe to assume the set up is for the next Avengers movie.  So maybe exepct to see Warlock somewhere too….

The Avengers!

May 4, 2012

Okay, that’s probably not exactly what you’re paying to see tonight, but it would probably be a pretty cool movie anyway.

Of course, if you’re looking for something a little closer to the real deal, you should instead check out The Marvel Universe Avengers Collection and snag Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor and the gang!


Smell like an AVENGER

March 24, 2012

From Comics Alliance comes a preview of these amazing AVENGERS perfumes. I’ve been looking forward to the film and have often thought that I wanted to be one of the Superheroes, but until now hadn’t figured out a way to smell like one. Now, given what they spend most of their time doing, I’d imagine they mostly smell like sweat, but let’s pretend.

Of course, I’m still waiting for a Black Widow perfume, but I won’t hold my breath.


SAVAGE SHE-HULK

March 11, 2012

Based on the art of Jelena Djurdjevic, this brand new SAVAGE SHE-HULK COMIQUETTE is an awesome new addition to the Sideshow/Marvel line–and potentially to your display shelf.

She-Hulk stands an impressive 20 inches high, a size that seems fitting for her character in a world where 12 inches seems to be the norm. Blazing red hair catching the wind, she’s as beautiful as she is powerful and any Marvel or She-Hulk fan should hurry up to snag one of these while they last!
