The Marvel Cinematic Universe Will Expand :)

So the other day at SDCC they announced some of the upcoming Marvel superhero films that will continue to expand upon their shared cinematic universe and I will say that I am all for them if they continue the excellence that we found in Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Incredible Hulk and The Avengers. I downloaded the logos for each of them and will speak a little bit about the offerings and what I personally hope we can expect.

Opening Today: “Marvel’s The Avengers” (5/4/2012)

I realize that I have already said something about this but I did want to keep with my still new premise about these kinds of films and offering up a posting series that I plan to have as a standard practice as more and more films of this type come out. With that being said I raise my voice to the top of the possible volume and yell “AVENGERS ASSEMBLE” Whew….

The Premise: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Hulk) unite under the direction of Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. against the villainous Asgardian Loki who seems to take over the Earth. “Avengers Assemble!!!”

The Time Has Come For “The Avengers” to Assemble!!!!” (5/4/2012)

Well, almost time that is…….

The big moment is just around the proverbial corner and I am pretty confident that I speak for a majority of the worlds comic book fans when I say just how exciting that is. Ladies and gents, fan boys and girls of all ages “The Avengers” movie opens in four short days!!!! For the past couple of years this film has been hinted at and was in a sense being led up to as we enjoyed The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 1 & 2, Thor, and Captain America The First Avenger. At the end of each of those films you might recall seeing an additional two minute sequence that tied the characters worlds together (and if you didn’t I suggest renting them and zipping to the end of the credits so you can catch up with the rest of us). Putting all of these mighty Marvel Comics characters together was a great idea and something that I think has been long anticipated by the fans. The trailers look awesome and its probably the movie that I am looking forward to the most out of the upcoming other hero movies.

It won’t be long until “The Avengers” takes over the box office with a film that really looks to blow our collective minds in terms of the excitement and how well it seems to have teamed all of the Marvel Studios characters into a single film. Back in 2011, I shared the first trailer which you can refer to HERE if you didn’t see it. It was also released around the time of the annual New York Comic Con which we went to and I’d love for you to peruse my posts from that by clicking HERE as well. So onto the second trailer and you are going to want to hold onto your hats. Here we go.

The Premise: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Hulk) unite under the direction of Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. against the villainous Asgardian Loki who seems to take over the Earth. “Avengers Assemble!!!”

PiercingMetal Goes To Toy Fair 2012: Diamond Select Toys

For the 2012 Toy Fair, I decided to break into a few company specific posts in order to showcase some of the offerings that we got to see. This post in particular lends to the coolness from the Diamond Select Toys folks. The company was formed by it’s sister company Diamond Comics Distributors and they have been making high quality collectible figures that span a number of different and exciting character properties. Among these are the Marvel Select figures, Mini-Mates and more which I shall share some with you in the photos below.

One of the most anticipated movies of the year is clearly “The Avengers”, well, in my book at least so we were happy to find a couple of the characters that shall be on the big screen setup around the Diamond Select Toys showroom. Just take a look at this Incredible Hulk. It’s actually modeled after actor Mark Ruffalo. Not a bad job on this at all.
