‘Marvel’s Avengers’ will pit the superheroes against MODOK
This 10-Foot-High Metal Hulk Is Ready to Smash Somebody’s Bank Account
One of the best parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Avengers has got to be Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. He’s my favorite actor in the role, and does a great job doing the whole Jekyll and Hyde routine as the bounces between mild-mannered doctor and angry green monster. I also love how the CGI artists have managed to capture Ruffalo’s face and expressions in Hulk form. While this sculpture of The Hulk isn’t exactly screen accurate, it’s still pretty amazing.
The guys at Thailand’s Kreatworks assembled this enormous sculpture of our favorite good guy with a temper from recycled car parts all kinds of other junk metal bits. I see some shock absorbers there in his biceps, and some brake drums in his legs. What parts do you spy? Could we rebuild him into a car? Metal Hulk measures in at an impressive 3.3 meters tall – or just over 10 feet for those of us still using those antiquated Imperial measurements.
This not-so-jolly green giant is priced at $17,000, which is roughly the same as the base price of a brand new Kia Soul. So it’s up to you: Hulk or Hamstermobile? Tough decision. Sadly, it looks like Kreatworks won’t ship something this big to the US, so you might just have to go with the compact crossover. Or maybe wait for it to turn back into Bruce Banner, and then have him shipped.
‘Marvel’s Avengers’ game is delayed until September 4th
Avengers Waffle Maker: Butter and Syrup, Assemble!
The best part of waking up is coffee in my cup… and a made-from-scratch feast to carbo-load like the Hulk. Luckily, the breakfast of champions now gets a superhero boost with the Avengers 4-Slice Waffle Maker which invites Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor to your dining table.
The easy-to-use plug-in appliance cooks four small waffles at a time – each one featuring an iconic symbol of the super A-team: Captain America’s shield, Hulk’s fist, Iron Man’s helmet, and Thor’s hammer. That beats a Mickey Mouse pancake any day.
Each waffle is a 4.25” square imprinted with a different image, giving you the power of choice. Also, the power to get creative by making treats like perfectly sized waffle ice-cream sandwiches. As a wise man once said, “Whosoever holds this waffle maker, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” I may be paraphrasing, but it’s true if the enemy you’re trying to conquer is hunger.
This waffle iron isn’t made of gold titanium alloy like Iron Man’s suit, but it does have nonstick baking surfaces, so it cleans up nicely. And that’s a superhero feat that would be appreciated in any kitchen.
