Vibranium Production

The Famous Shield made out of Vibranium.

When you ask a kid what's Vibranium, maybe 1 out of 20 would probably understand or know what it is? 

Good afternoon dear readers, is a nice saturday today so i thought of sharing some cool facts about the Vibranium Sheild, what makes it indestructible and how cap manages to quickly unstrap it from his back side to pouncing it to the red skull's face!.

Vibranium is a metal compound that appears in the Marvel Universe. It is most commonly known as one of the materials used to construct Captain America's shield, but it is also noted for its connection to the Black Panther and his native homeland of Wakanda which is considered Wakanda's secret technology and is able to be weaponised.

One of the most famously known for use is the construction of Captain America's Shield.

Vibranium is used in the creation of one of Hawkeye's "Trick Arrows", the arrows deaden kinetic and vibratory energies.

It has been revealed that X-Men member Colossus, who can turn into a metal version of his human form, is vulnerable to vibranium when he is using his powers, although his body will return instinctively to human form when confronted with a vibranium weapon.

Agent Zero wears a vibranium-weave body armor that makes him completely silent as he moves.

The U.S. Agent uses vibranium for both a disk he uses as a shield and a Star Shield. What a rip off if you ask me.

This one is an interesting one. Every wall, both interior and exterior of the Avengers Tower is made of a vibranium reinforced concrete.Of Course this is why Tony Stark is friends with The Black Panther. Talk about being high tech huh.

Last but not least, coming from the mainland it self, The Black Panther uses vibranium in a micro weave mesh in his uniform that robs incoming objects of their momentum.He also cannot be stabbed, although the costume and the Black Panther can be cut if the attacker slashes along the uniform's grain. Beyond that he uses vibranium in the soles of his boots that allows him to survive a fall of several stories and, if given enough momentum, the Panther can also scale walls or skim across water. The field can be also used offensively to shatter or weaken objects, such as kicking something with the boots. He also used the other variety Anti-Metal, in retractable claws.

Batman :: Arkham City - Best Game Ever Made

Well here we are again, Right after Arkhma Asylum comes the much anticipated Sequel, Arkham City. Probabbly in my own view, its recommended to not just any Batman fan, but gamers all around who loves a good storyline, skillfull fightscene and also a pretty good goddamn graphics!

Welcome to Arkham City!

Not to far away from Arkham Asylum, this story picks up right after the battle between Bats and The Joker, Now Bats have more enemies in this City trying to take him out.....But...you know what...im not gonna spoil it much for everybody so im gonna stop there.

My ratings for this is not biase at all, but ive got to admit, its a big 10/10, ***** stars if you ask me and GL. All around a much good fun game, that has so many stuff to do, even after you complete the game.

Catwoman is downloadable, also just got the release news that you can have Nightwing DLC for an amount of 5 Pounds on PSN and Xbox.

Arkham City is publicaly available world wide, if you havent got it yet....time to get one!

Its a must get!

Mattel Reveals DC Universe All-Stars Action Figures For 2012



First Wave for DC Universe All-Stars

With news on the rise we got today all over the toysites, as you might know currently Mattel's DC Universe Classics line will wrap with its 20th wave, But luckyly enough, it has not ended, this line and is probabbly still worth getting for its 6 Inch size, as you know, Marvel stop all 6"inch figure line up, and went 3.5"Inch just like Star Wars line. 

This is a positive sign from DC Comics, with more of the toymaker's 6" superhero figures being released through the DC Comics All-Stars line in 2012. Found this on BBTS,  on MattyCollector, the first retail mix of figures from this new line will include Larfleeze, Superboy Prime in Anti-Monitor, an evil Flashpoint Plastic Man and Batman Beyond.

The All-Stars line gives collectors their first non DC Direct Larfleeze, Flashpoint Plastic Man and Superboy Prime. Batman Beyond is a re-release from the 4th DC Universe Classics wave, which also included an unmasked variant of the character.

Though the Batman Beyond figure seems to come with a batarang (But its exactly the same as the Universe Line) and Larfleeze has his Orange Central Power Battery, accessories seem sparse on the other two figures. This might change by the time the toys arrive at retail, but compared to the DCUC SDCC 2010 exclusive Plastic Man's numerous rubbery attachments, this Flashpoint All-Star definitely comes up short in the accessory department.

Available at BTTS for pre-order and will be available next year.

HOT TOYS - The New Found Love

Hot Toys, who does know this brands nowadays? Well to be honest we have known HT to be around in years already, but we've never manage to grow into it....Until now! 

Jack Nicholson "Joker" from the 1989 Batman Movie, who made this movie truely awesome with the direction of Tim Burton, before Val Kilmer F*** things up! This awesome Joker 12 inch is now Pre-order status but is now available at BBTS.

Michael Keaton, The First ever Batman Movie ever since Adam West's Hippity Hop TV Show, for the first time featuring 12 inch scale to ever grazed our holy land of the living, makes us fanboys drool in excitement and also made us click add to cart without hesitant (I'm speaking for my self). Now available at BBTS for pre-order.

Need i say more for this guy, Christopher Reeves finally gets an accurate figure, it was only possibly made possible by Hot Toys, Hot Toys Limited will be donating a portion of this collectible figure’s sales to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.The Reeve Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy. Even though with his passing, he's still stands tall in our hearts. That's why i bought him.

Christian Bale, The Dark Knight - The first person to ever performed Batman as to be Very scarry with his frown and crazy voice! We straight away loved his performance not to mentioned with the recently passed on Heath Ledger as the Joker, The Dark knight Proved itself worthy of an amazing HT figures...yup and i mean Figures.

Iron Monger - Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane in the first installment of the new Ironman franchise igniting Robert Downey Jr's career by performing as the big battle with Ironman, Iron Monger has finally touched down to balanced out the number of Ironman HT figures with his big bulky metal suit. The Iron Monger is stated to be release 2nd Quarter 2012.Go Big or Go home!

Who is Baby Doll? Who is Amber? Who is Emily Browning? We dont know, new characthers, New Actoress. When i saw the teaser poster for Sucker Punch, i thought must be some sort of a chick flick! After seeing, i ended watching and liking this movie, twice in a row! Turns our Zack Snyder was directing this so whats their to lose, i mean he did directed a few of the most talked about movies with the likes of Frank Miller's 300 & Watchmen, not to mentioned soon to be out Superman : Man of Steel! Both Sucker Punching Girls, Baby Doll and Amber were released for Pre-order, as usual, its still available on BBTS. Expected to arrived by 4th Quarter this year. Damn hot figures.

Ah yes, Spider-Man 3 featured not only The elusive Spider-kicking-@$$-man but also avalable is his Best Friend Foe, The New Goblin, HT has managed to acquire James Franco license head mold, as accurate as it can be, but unfortunately, Spidey this time around will not be able to get rid of his mask, as HT was not able to get Tobey's face on board, i wonder whose face will it be, if you open it?

Both figures are available, not on BBTS though, maybe require to do some search in eBAY.

Will if it isnt about time they remake this true american hero symbol from Marvel Comics, Captain America whom was potrayed by Chris Evans was brilliantly done and did justice for Captain America, with his origin storyline ties in with the upcoming and Most anticipated movie, The Avengers, sure proved to the world, there is no way no one is gonna miss this movie, The Avengers are due out sometime next year, Both this year's Thor and Capt had given us hints as to what will happen in the new Avengers movie. And possibly more Hot Toys to come. Captain America's Hot Toys has its sheild shinning away, this 12 Inch figure is a must for all Cap fans out there, this should be out by now (Nov 2011), somehow BBTS has not yet notify me of my HT Cap figure.

Yeah it might be one sided, Marvel did get approached by HT for their movie licenses, but its mainly because of the movie industries, Marvel has moved up to the heights of Hollywood status. Iron Man 2 Mark II Unleashed a second Mark II for HT Iron man line. This one's featured Don Cheadle as Rhodey. HT Figure is due to arrive next year, but what have arrived this year is the Iron Man Mark V if your colours is Red and Silver.

Lastly i will end this HT special with one of the coolest things i've ever saw, now i admit that there's probbably alot of this next figure around the world, but the setup is a Gantry for the Iron Man suit, this whole set up will blow holes in your wallet! Check out the picture of the Mark IV (my favourite Suit) and will feature Robert Downey accurate face scuplt too! Available for Pre-order now at BBTS, just not sure of the price is worth goin for. I may be crazy, but im actually thinking of getting this. *Choke*

For collectors who already own a Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI, the Suit Up Gantry is available for Order separately. But at a staggering price of $359.99, I am not sure that helps a lot. Price aside, the Suit Up Gantry is a great 12 Inch Environment to go with your Hot Toys Iron Man (That's what you want!!) and the 3 layered convertible gantry base looks really cool.

Mom if your reading this i want this for X-Mas...

I'm Back!

Hello Folks! Yup we have been gone for a very Loooooooonnng Hiatus! But wait no longer, we are back in full force! Boy do i have a lot to update, honestly the last time was back last year during my surgery, apologies for the long break, both me and GL have been quite busy, me getting back in shape and GL out saving lives out there. But lets get going then shall we.

To start off, what i am really looking forward for DC super heroes, are the upcoming HOT TOYS line! Superman Chris Reeves version is coming up very soon. (Will update everyone when my figure comes) then you have Batman Michael Keaton followed by Joker (Jack Nicholson). For Marvel, look no further. Captain America will be available later this year (December).

But over a year, i've decided not to just limit this to Hot Toys, their highly detailed 12 inch figures, but also very exclusively expensive. I'll also not limit my posts to DC / Marvel, but will also bring in Star Wars, Transformers and possibly any other cool things that comes my way.

Oooo forgot to mentioned, we are also currently in the process of changing a few layouts here and there, so dont mind us while we play around with the layouts, we're only trying to improve some stuffs for your viewing purpose.

Thank you all and welcome back to the House of El!

Crazy Posts coming your way soon!

Peace

New Thor Poster (France)

It's The Cape

Kal-el and myself are big fans of the superhero genre (if you didn't know by now) and we're glad for anything new that might come out that explores the realm of superheros further.

Debuting just a few days ago is the one-hour superhero drama series; The Cape.

The series, set in the fictional metropolis of Palm City and follows Vince Faraday, an innocent police detective who is considering leaving the city's corrupt police force. He witnesses the murder of the city's new police chief by a mysterious individual known as "Chess"; soon after, he decides to work for the private security team of billionaire Peter Fleming, who is poised to take over the city's police department.

An e-mail from the anonymous investigative blogger "Orwell" leads Faraday and his partner Marty Voyt to a cargo train equipped with weapons smuggled in by Fleming's corporation. Unfortunately, Voyt sets up Faraday and delivers him to Chess (Fleming himself), who frames Faraday for the police chief's murder and sends the police after him in a chase that culminates in an explosion.

The entire city (including Faraday's family) now believes that he was Chess and he died in the explosion. Vince actually survives and is saved by a circus ringleader who trains him to use a special black cape to defend himself against his foes. The circus folk convince Faraday that he cannot reveal himself to his wife and son without endangering their lives, because if Chess found out that he was still alive then his family would be targeted. Faraday decides to fight Palm City's corruption and clear his name by taking the guise of his son's favorite comic book hero, "The Cape".

I guess you could think: Batman mix Punisher mix The Shadow.

While the creator of The Cape, Tom Wheeler, does not come from a background comics, he is currently developing the screenplay for Puss in Boots, a spin-off of the Shrek franchise for acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and DreamWorks Animation.

I would suggest that superhero fans out there check out the show yourselves to form your own opinions.
