So we’re going to see The Avengers next year, and as can be expected, we are bound to see all sorts of promos and gimmicks related to the movie. As early as now, Hot Toys has announced something that will delight any toy collector. Even I, who cannot be called one, am rather excited about the toys. Take a look.

As summer approaches, the days grow longer and corn fields around the world are turned into life-sized mazes for amusement patrons to enjoy. The vast majority of these “corn mazes” are designed to look (from the air) like farms or other middle-America favorites like race cars.

That guy is definitely NOT Tony Stark – far from it – but he was “born” around the same time that Tony Stark debuted. Comic book fans will know that Iron Man first came out in March of 1963 in Tales of Suspense #39, but not many may know about Hardiman, which General Electric created in the 60s. Read more »
