Captain America - The First Avenger Sixth Scale Figure Review!

Well, today here at Heroesarentborn.com we’re reviewing Captain America, The First Avenger, from our friends at Sideshow Collectables and Hot Toys. Now, if you have never seen anything from Sideshow and Hot Toys you should know one thing, these figures are simply amazing. The level of detail that you see is almost on an unparalleled level. Such a huge difference from when I was a kid and all we had were those tiny GI Joes with the kung fu grip and a couple plastic weapons that you always managed to lose.

Captain America 12-inch Figure - Captain America: The First Avenger

The Avengers, a review in way too many words…

A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge say,s "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says, "Okay, let's get started." There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out. -    Henny Yongman

Why did I start this review out with one liner or three from the late, great, Henny Youngman? Because that’s pretty much the sum total of the script for Marvel’s “the Avengers”. Everyone else is praising Joss Whedon for the script but to me it was one joke after another after another with a little substance sprinkled in here and there to fill in the gaps between said jokes. Now that I have that off my chest, I was going to wait another week or so for the lemmings to get their fill of this movie but the allure was just too great.

Review:  Captain America and Red Skull

The first action figure review from this year’s Captain America: The First Avenger toy offerings ventures into uncharted territory for us at HeroesArentBorn.com with a look at the film’s Minimate line.  For those unfamiliar with this product type, here is some brief background information. 

Originally created by Art Asylum in 2002 and featuring characters from cult licenses such as Dark Angel and Star Trek, Minimates were a modern American take on the block-style figures originating with LEGO in the 1970s.  Minimates, however, were slightly larger in scale and highly detailed, giving them more in common with Medicom Toys’ popular Kubricks.  Minimates gained greater prominence in the adult collector community when Art Asylum partnered with Diamond Select Toys to release dozens of two-packs featuring characters culled from all corners of the Marvel Universe. 

Nearly a decade later, Minimates have become a regular fixture in comic shops and Toys R Us locations across the nation.  They have also become an integral part of Marvel’s movie toy merchandising, releasing figures from Iron Man and its sequel, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Thor, and others.  Now Captain America’s major cinematic debut joins the Minimate ranks, and HeroesArentBorn.com is pleased to present an in-depth examination of Diamond Select’s Captain America and Red Skull two-pack.

Hasbro Marvel Q&A Session 4 - June 2011

Check our the fourth installment below!

HAB: With regards to the new "Avengers Assemble" logo as well as the new name for your IRON MAN figure line ("The Armored Avenger"), is this an attempt to get the action figure lines to mirror the movies: as one combined universe, and are you planning to combine all three lines into a single AVENGERS line for 2012?

HASBRO: Each line is definitely their own brand. However, we're excited about their convergence into one line in 2012. Stay tuned to Comicon for more Avengers news!

HAB:  Now that the line has been refreshed as "Iron Man: The Armored Avenger", can we expect to see a more diverse assortment of figures rather than variations on the Iron Man armor? Agent Coulson, Pepper Potts, or Obadiah Stane perhaps?

HASBRO: These characters are not planned in our line.

HAB: Several of the initial release THOR figures have an incredibly high degree of articulation--most notably ball-hinged hips. Is this something you plan to continue with future THOR figures and perhaps more frequently in other licenses such as STAR WARS?

HASBRO: Happy to hear what you like now and what you'll like about our future products! Keep the comments coming as we're always looking for ways to improve our brands.

Have a Question about the Iron Man Hasbro Line you would like us to ask?  E-mail us at heroesarentborn@gmail.com and we will ask it for you!

"Heroes Aren't Born.  They're Made." 

Certainly a catchy enough tag line for Iron Man.  It described his genesis perfectly.  A self-absorbed industrialist seeing first-hand the horrors wrought by his weapons gives rise to a champion of the oppressed. 

But he's not the only Marvel hero who was made. 

Captain America found life through a serum that transformed a physically inferior boy into a supersoldier committed to the cause of good.  Bruce Banner wasn't born the Hulk.  It took gamma radiation to force Banner to learn self-control and how to harness his rage to benefit others.  Even Thor, the GOD of thunder, was born arrogant and selfish.  It took banishment to Earth to make him learn humility and true heroism. 

"Heroes aren't born" isn't Iron Man's mantra. 

It is the mantra of the AVENGERS. 

That is why, as of today, this is no longer an Iron Man collectors' site.  It is now an Avengers site, and we will be bringing you news and product reviews from the entire team with a strong focus on Thor and Captain America this summer. 

Welcome to the new HEROESARENTBORN.COM!

Hasbro Marvel Q&A Session 3

We are officially part of Hasbro’s new Marvel license Q&A sessions! Check our the second  installment below!

HAB: This one is short and sweet. Will we ever see a War Machine Role Playing Helmet?

HASBRO: Maybe.  

HAB:  One thing that seems to be lacking in the Iron Man line is a play set for the 3 3/4 line. When we were in New York this past February, the G.I. JOE THE RISE OF COBRA: PIT MOBILE HEADQUARTERS was a huge hit with Joe fans and collectors. Any chance we could see something smaller in scale to the Pit for Iron Man? We know you had the Target release Hall of Armor Collection but what about a Hall of Armor play set with lights and sound? Some of the Micro Play sets are great but we need some for the 3 3/4" line!!

HASBRO: We have a vehicle hitting shelves now that is smaller than the PIT, but has great 3 3/4" play features. Check it out!

HAB: Will we see a Mandarin figure in the Iron Man Comic based collection and if you are working on one can we see? Pretty Pretty Please? We can even toss in a cherry on top.

HASBRO: One thing that Mandarin does not like is cherries. Despite this, he may allow us to take a picture of him.

Iron Man 2 Reaches $300 Million at the US Box Office!

Posted at ComicBookMovie.com

According to a report over at SuperHeroHype, the Marvel movie starring Robert Downey Jr has crossed the $300 million point at the US Box Office. The first movie which was released two years ago, made $318 million so there's still a little way to go before it manages to surpass it's predecessor. The site also points out that it will need to raise another $33 million in order to topple Alice in Wonderland which currently holds the title for North America's top grossing movie of this year. 

Hasbro Marvel Q&A Session 2

We are officially part of Hasbro’s new Marvel license Q&A sessions! Check our the second  installment below!

HAB: The Internet URL on the armor card pack-ins (www.ironmancard.com) only links to Marvel's official site.  For some consumers, this is misleading because the URL gives the impression that the cards are part of an interactive website.  Can you explain the purpose for this?

HASBRO: The cards are meant as a stand alone element of the toy that can also be displayed on the stand.  

HAB:  Aside from the upcoming Whiplash figure, can we expect to see any other non-armored or partially-armored figures in the Iron Man 2 figure line?  Some good examples would be Iron Man and War Machine with flip-up faceplates, Rhodey, and Pepper Potts.

HASBRO: There are more figures planned for a Fall release. Most of these will premiere at the San Diego Comic Con - we hope to see you there!  

HAB: Like the Galactic Heroes line, the "Iron Man 2 Super Squad" seems to be very successful with kids and collectors alike.  Because of this great response, are you planning to continue these for Iron Man into 2011--even though it's a non-movie year?

HASBRO: Keep your eyes peeled! In 2011 Super Hero Squad figures will be revealed in various ways!

Review: War Machine (Iron Man 2)

  Part of the Iron Man mythos since the dawn of the 1980s, War Machine was the alter ego of Lt. Col. James “Rhodey” Rhodes—Stark’s closest friend and the first person to set eyes on Iron Man outside of Wong-Chu’s camp (in the comic universe).  Since the convoluted series of events leading to War Machine’s illustrated origins are not translatable to a two hour movie, the movie version strips away the extraneous circumstances and focuses on the widening rift between Stark, who wants to keep the Iron Man technology out of government hands, and Rhodes, the man who has to choose between loyalty to his friend and duty to his country.  After witnessing a reckless alcohol-fueled display by a full-suited Stark, Rhodes absconds with the Mark 2 armor and delivers it to his superiors, allowing Justin Hammer and the U.S. military to transform the suit into their own version of Iron Man—War Machine. 

On the heels of Iron Man 2’s blockbuster opening weekend, HeroesArentBorn.com is pleased to present this integral character as our third Hasbro action figure review.  Enjoy! 

Iron Man 2 $327 Million in 3 Days!

Iron Man 2 took in $133.6 million for the three-day frame domestically and $327 million Worldwide.

It now stands as the fifth highest opening weekend ever
