Logan Is In Australia


All hear this, all hear this! Hugh Jackman is reprising this role as Wolverine in yet another Marvel movie - a sequel, in fact. What's different about this movie, apart from the fact that this movie title has 'The' in the front? Well, this Logan story is set in Japan and will start filming in Australia between July and December of this year

While principle photography was supposed to be done in Japan, the tsunami forced the production team to move its work to Fox Studios in Sydney.

As for the plot, a Japanese setting for a Wolverine story could only mean one villain that would face Logan. That's the big hint, now go work it out for yourselves.

The Amazing New International Poster


If Spiderman were a real person living in this society, he would probably care very little about what you thought of his new 'amazing' costume. Love it or hate it, the movie is coming and riding on the backs of real popular superhero-themed releases (i.e. The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises). 

We're not going to go into the origins of this wonderful Marvel character - you're not stupid, you're intelligent and have done your reading - needless to say that Spidey's first story will be retold once again. 

Opening in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 3, the Marc Webb-directed action adventure stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

Rumours: DC Comics LOBO Movie

Taken from Superherohype.com

Warner Bros. has set Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton for their DC Comics adaptation, Lobo, Deadline reports.

Created in 1984 by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, Lobo is a Czarnian (originally Velorpian) bounty hunter who, as a nearly indestructible anti-hero, drives a space-faring motorcycle across the cosmos in search of his next target.

When Guy Ritchie was attached to the project in 2009, Don Payne had written the most recent draft of the script and had Lobo tracking four alien fugitives to Earth and teaming with a small town girl to track them down.

Though there's no hint at casting as of yet (and, no matter what, the character is likely going to employ heavy makeup and CGI to be realized for the screen), Jeffrey Dean Morgan told Superhero Hype some time back that playing the ultimate bastich would be one his dream roles.


Stay tune for more...

Flip the box over and you'll see this cool writing about Captain Jack Sparrow!


On top of the figure is this cool inlay displaying the Captain's flag logo.... "There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere."

Ah Jack ol'boy, Awesome packaging once again by Hot Toys!

Follow the instructions guys, Hot toys figurines cost so much these days, it's important to read them before you break em!

The DX06 comes with an second Interchangeable face with PERS feature as well as a different expression.

Yup, a different expression.

Getting all cushy with the Hot Toys Padding seal for quality perfection!

Again..Quality is quite the focus here from Hot Toys.

Hi Jack!

Movie-accurate rudder with base and movie nameplate.

head sculpt of his mother, Crazy compass, a duck's foot and some dangles.

Detailed compass and a bottle of rum...you know Jack loves his Rum.

Finally I got Jack out of the Box and he looks amazing, check out what's in the bottle..

Ahhh The Black Pearl...

As u know Jack comes in two faces for this DX06, Fantastic likeness of Johnny Depp.

The Details is staggering

This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!

Of course this is a DX, Never come without all the extra accessories, i cant make up my mind which hands look good to put on the figure...

The sword is sharp, just dont poke your eye out.

He comes with his removal Jacket and Hat.

Ta Da Da Dam, Da Da Da Dam.

Peas in a pod, darling.

Here is a must see, thought i post a picture of him with the removal head piece so you can adjust the PERS eyes.

Welcome to the Gun Show!

Does this make me look like a bad ass?

Any man who falls behind, is left behind.

Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?

You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you are well on your way to becoming one: sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga, and you're completely obsessed with treasure.

Movie-accurate rudder with base and movie nameplate


Figure stand with Captain Jack Sparrow nameplate and the movie logo

Uh oh, Jack has been marked....Enjoy the pics!

Predator : "What the hell are you?" Jack: "What the Hell are you mate!"

So the Predator actually just wanted to take a picture with Jack, just to see how he stack up with the 13 Inch Predator.

"... Drink up me hearties, yo ho".

That's all folks, we think that the DX version of Captain Jack Sparrow is an amazing figure and have no regrets getting him, if your on the fence with this guy, you wont regret it. An Amazing figure with alot of accessories to display him with.
