Oh yeah… I enjoy any ‘Avengers’ news regardless how small or pointless it is. On the other hand, as you may know, I don’t dare post set spy photos and reserve my site for officially released images. Well, thankfully Marvel has released images of a cool new banner that will be hanging in your local cinema. I do have to say that the concept is simple, but these are some rad lookin’ banners. Also, from the looks of it, we might be seeing each Avenger as it’s very own poster as well. My only complaint would have to be the way the characters are posed. Other than Captain America, why does it seem that the photographer was posing our beloved Avengers to pose while sticking their necks out? Seems a bit odd. What do I know… My favorite has to be Black Widow and Loki. They look sexy as hell.

I woke up extra early today to make sure I was awake when the first trailer for ‘The Avengers’ dropped this morning and I don’t regret it at all! All we’ve been able to see so far were couple shitty set spy photos and a tasty teaser at the end of ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, but now, we have a clearer picture of what we can expect from The Avengers and I have to say that I’m fucking excited! The mix of characters and personalities in The Avengers is going to be dynamic and you can already see that between Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark and Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. Just from what I see from the trailer, it looks like Loki will be off the rails and will be a great villain for the newly assembled team. Also, from the looks of it, RDJ is the front man and will steal the show (but did you expect otherwise). While we would have loved to see more scenes showcasing heroes interacting with other heroes, we will just have to be patient and wait till May when the film comes out. Until then, just check out the trailer and make sure you have an extra set of underwear on hand.

It looks like Hot Toy’s is going to milk ‘Iron Man 2′ for every little drop it can muster. Continuing on their tradition of designing and manufacturing the great action figures of all time (probably one of the most expensive as well), Hot Toys is releasing the newest addition to their Iron Man Movie Masterpiece line with an Iron Man 2: Mark II Armor Unleashed version Movie Masterpiece 12 inch action figure. From the looks of it, this is a replica of the Mark II suit that was taken from Tony Stark by Jim Rhodes. Instead of like the original Mark II action figure Hot Toys released for the first Iron Man movie, this version looks to be able to be disassembled like in the film where the Mark II suit was reconfigured to become what we know as War Machine. I love the fact that this figure is different from the rest as it kind of looks more like a cut-away figure than anything else. This lovely beauty will probably be around $250 and be out at the end of the year. Now, when the hell am I going to get an Iron Monger Hot Toys figure? Probably never…

It makes a lot of sense to incorporate the world of steampunk with Iron Man. It really does. As a master mechanic and engineer, Tony Stark would have had no problem creating an Iron Man suit regardless of what time period he is in. Instead of the arc reactor, powering the suit with steam is a viable choice. Jonathan Kriscak of Pack Rat Studios took this concept and ran with it and created an amazing custom Steampunk Iron Man. This eleven inch monster was created from the parts of a Cletus action figure (the NFL on Fox robot), and various Transformers action figures. Whats really awesome is the amazing paint job that Jonathan applied to this figure, especially around the bolts and rivets. Another cool aspect of this custom figure is the light that shines in the figure chest. It actually flickers resembling a fire inside a oven. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wrap my brain around all the cool features on this toy and the amazing amount of detail that Jonathan put on this steampunk Iron Man.
This amazing figure is on sale on eBay and the auction ends on April 23. Hit the jump and check out more pix!

It was bound to happen. Yoko Higuchi (AKA theresistancerises) put together a pretty clever fan-made trailer for Joss Whedon’s ‘The Avengers’ movie. Using various clips from trailers and movies such as, ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, ‘Iron Man 2′, ‘The Incredible Hulk’, and ‘Thor’ Yoko made a pretty awesome trailer. If I have never seen any of those clips, I would be pretty psyched about this movie. You can always rely on the fans to have too much time on their hands and make cool stuff like this.

Safety is definitely a huge factor if you are planning on getting a motorcycle. Well, considering there is a huge amount of customization going on for motorcycles, why not put your personal touch on your helmet as well. Especially if its something bad ass like an Iron Man custom paint job. Safety is definitely key, but you shouldn’t have to give up style. Just don’t be a douche and put some lame ass fluorescent colored plastic mohawk on your helmet. Thats just tasteless and… well I guess douchey.

If you weren’t aware, I took a week off from iGT to get hitched to the love of my life, Mrs. Geektrooper, so be patient with me if some of these posts are dirt old. Canadian director, Patrick Boivin is well known on the web for his epic stop motion mini-films such as “Iron Man Versus Bruce Lee” and “Transformers Bumblebee Boy“. Well, this time around, Patrick tries something new and created an epic parody of director Jon Favreau’s Iron Man film. Dubbed “Iron Baby“, Patrick replaces Tony Stark with a little cute tyke that whips terrorist bunny ass in a Mark III Iron Man suit made for an infant. Patrick did an amazing job with big budget film quality production and CGI effects. It was so awesome that even Jon Favreau had to plug “Iron Baby” on his Twitter. You will definitely fall in love with this little baby and you may wonder who she is. Her name is Marguerite Bulte Boivin, who is Patrick’s baby daughter. Yes. Iron Baby is a girl. Sooo kyoot!
