That's right, Red Tornado is also a bonus feature for this awesome statue.

Sold in three parts, each part features two of the world's greatest superheroes and includes a piece of a bonus Red Tornado figure. (To fully assemble Red Tornado, all three Build-a-Scene statues are needed.)

All the pieces slide together to make up a complete cover scene in striking 3-D! The JLA BUILD-A-SCENE STATUE is a limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statue measuring approximately 8" tall x 14" wide x 10" deep when fully assembled. (Each piece measures approximately 8" tall x 5" wide x 5" deep, except for Red Tornado, which measures approximately 10.375" tall x 8.5" wide x 5.5" deep.)

Last Week's Poll Result

[ Jocasta Got her votes ]

Yes that's right dear fans, those who voted for Jocasta got it right. Although she was Ultron's first bride, she was also a rebellion against him. Alkhema was Ultron's second bride and as for The Scarlett Witch how was married to the Vision, funnily enough was created by Ultron himself. So that would make her, Daughter in law? anyways...Good going guys, thanks for trying our trivia. Check out the next one.

Written by Kal-El

It was a mere devastating shocking development as i was driving this morning and got a Message from Kara, "Heath Ledger is Dead!" I quickly got in, and went online and did a quick search on yahoo...

Yes Ledger Fans..... he was found dead in his apartment in New York. He was only 28 years old.
Ledger was found by a housekeeper who had gone to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse in the Soho apartment, according to New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne. "Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," Browne said, "This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet." The medical examiner's office planned an autopsy on Wednesday, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.

He was declared dead at about 3:30 p.m., Browne said.

Justice Works Initiated

[ Justice League Original Seven : Based on the Animated Series]

Written by Kal-El

Word has it that it is Confirmed that Weta Workshop will design the costumes for Happy Feet director George Miller's Justice League adaptation. That's right, i said "Weta!"

The film's Wellington-based American producer, Barrie Osborne, who produced Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, confirmed Weta Workshop's involvement. "They are doing all the costumes and they're doing a brilliant job," he said from Sydney, where filming will start soon. "A lot of people thought it would be too hard, that you can only make those things in Hollywood." No budget has been announced for the long-awaited movie, which would bring together a range of superheroes including Superman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and of course the elusive Green Lantern.

Weta Workshop specialises in physical effects such as costumes, props, models and movie sets, and Weta Digital does computer-generated visual effects. Osborne said it was possible Weta Digital could also be involved in the film, based on the DC Comics series, but that would depend on the studio's commitments to other projects.
"George Miller has a great take on the material, so it elevates it to something that's not a comic-book movie," he said.
Stay tune for more Justice News..

New Hulk On The Block

[ Hulk Smashes into cinemas in June 13, 2008]

Written by Kal-El

Ok..here's the deal. They have been alot of Iron Man Movie and Batman hype going on out there, but very few and little about the menacing Big Green Machine of Destruction, yes that's right, im talking about The Incredible Hulk. Ok so the first Movie (Ang Lee) was a flop, but hopefully with the proper casting and skillfull writers, it seems to me that this movie is actually gonna turn up great. Well for the Hulk's fans especially. Don't get me wrong yeah, being a Fan of the Hulk, i could still pretty much watch the previous Movie and the old shows. I still enjoyed it as a fan.


[Lou Ferrigno & Ang Lee's Version of the Hulk]


From what we gather, This new version of the movie will most likely follow bits of pieces of the old Bill Bixby version of the Hulk. For me i would agree, i enjoyed and grew up watching him shred his clothes in every scene that he transforms to the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). And at every end of the show, and at that time, (they used the name David Banner for some reason) they will play this really sad theme song . The piano piece was composed by Joseph Harnell (i'm sure you remember how it goes) and was used over the end credits to represent Banner's never-ending search for inner peace.

So now the new movie is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt. What a big cast! Well see how far does Hollywood need to go to bring back The Incredible Hulk back into the Movies. Let's all wish them the best of luck, and hopefully it's something for the fans not to regret about watching it in the movies. Can you imagine how the CGI works? (SPOILER ALERT!! Below is the Hulk's concept art, He looks really mean and cool)


["Wha' do you think of ma new hair cut?"]
Not only Hulk is making his comeback to the scenes, but SEGA Games is also making a comeback of their own, They have signed up to do the Iron Man Movie game as well, Signed up for Thor and also the great Captain America. Click on this link to view the Hulk's game site. There's not much there yet, but will keep you posted on it for any new updates on it.

So stay tune, i still have to update on any Hulk Action Figures, so until then dear Hulk fans, SMASH!!

Who invented Jackarangs

[Who loves you batsy?]

Written by Kal-El

As part of last year's trivia question of Thor, I am please to let everyone know what the result is. Below is the number of votes that we got, we will try to keep this part of the site to be well maintain weekly from now on.
We got 2 that votes for Smoke Bombs, 2 for Joker Venoms and for the Jackarangs, they got 7 votes, well then, they were correct, Joker have never came up with Jackarangs weapons to use at Batman. But then again Batman would have his Batarangs to counter attack him.
Thanks again to all the participants that took the time out and voted for our weekly trivia.

I got a cool one to start off this year as we kick it into 2008! Have a go at it alright..
