So that’s Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), SHIELD Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Human Torch Lucas Lee Capt. America (Chris Evans), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Buffy’s dad (Joss Whedon, director of the film)… and I don’t know who the last guy is. Also, I’m not excited about Mark Ruffalo being cast as Banner, but then I haven’t seen him act as Banner, so you never know. Check out the link below for an Ultimate-sized picture.

What injustice! A country that loves robots so much, and they haven’t seen it yet?! But the Stark-starved Japanese might be getting something that the rest of us won’t: Medicom’s Iron Man 2… Kubricks. The]]> Believe it or not, Iron Man 2 won’t be in Japan’s theaters until next month. What injustice! A country that loves robots so much, and they haven’t seen it yet?! But the Stark-starved Japanese might be getting something that the rest of us won’t: Medicom’s Iron Man 2 Kubricks. The set includes the Mark IV suit from the first movie, the Mark V suitcase suit, and of course the powered-by-an-unnamed-element Mark VI.

Also included are the wicked Whiplash and a very unattractive Black Widow.

Fortunately these designs are just protoypes, so there’s still hope for Black Widow. The Iron Man 2 Kubricks will go on sale on November for ¥980 (appx. $11 USD) each.

I still can’t believe the movie is not out in Japan yet.

Just put this giant furry black widow spider on top of their blanket while they’re asleep, flip on the remote control, and watch the mayhem ensue.

This massive R/C black widow spider is designed to be an “educational toy”, but if I had one of these in class when I was a kid, it would have ended me up in the principal’s office for sure.

Created by London’s Natural History Museum, the larger-than-life (appx 12″ long by 10″ wide) mechanical arachnid can creep forward, backwards, left, right, or even spin itself around on a dime. The remote control works from up to 30 feet away, letting you stalk your unwitting victims from around a corner or hiding in their closet.
