7Up Captain America Can

I broke down and bought a case of 7Up just so I can get a can with Captain America's mug. I like the fact that the shield has red rings. Of course, this is part of the Rev Up with 7UP and Captain America sweepstakes.

Website Alert: Seth's Elvira Collection

I am always interested in fellow fans of Elvira so when I received an email from Seth telling me about his website, Seth's Elvira Collection, I just had to post about it. Not only does he have pictures of merchandise featuring the Mistress of the Dark ranging from advertising to videos but he also has a want list of items that he needs. Here is just a sample of what he has on his site:

Women Wednesday: Sara Jean Underwood As Wonder Woman

Thrift Store Find: Rita's Wild Ride

My sister actually found a mysterious Burger King toy from 1999 at a local thrift store on Saturday and gave it to me. She had no clue as to what it was but I quickly said that it had to be based on Will Smith's Wild Wild West movie. I did some research online and quickly found out that the toy wagon is Rita's Wild Ride, which is number four in a set of six.

The movie is now out on Blue-ray and you can purchase a copy below (I recommend the movie mostly for Selma Hyek, who plays Rita):

Alphas

I greatly enjoyed tonight's premiere of SyFy's Alphas and I hope it lasts longer than a season. My favorite characters are Gary, Dr. Rosen and Rachel. I will be watching future episodes for sure.

A&W Root Beer Howard Stark Can

I had to make a quick trip to the local grocery store since I forgot eggs yesterday at Wally World. I spotted a twelve pack of A&W Root Beer promoting the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger movie. This is part of the Rev Up with 7UP and Captain America sweepstakes. The A&W Root Beer cans all sported Howard Stark's mug. He is the founder of Stark Industries and the father of Tony aka Iron Man. In the movie, he is portrayed by Dominic Cooper

After doing a quick search online while drinking the contents of the can, I found that 7UP is putting out a five can set. Howard Stark is on A&W Root Beer cans while Captain America is on 7UP cans. Hames "Bucky" Barnes is on Sunkist Orange cans while the Red Skull is on 7UP Cherry Antioxidant cans. Finally, Peggy Carter is on Canada Dry Ginger Ale cans

Free X-Force Archangel Action Figure Ad

Marvel Digital Comics is offering a free X-Force Archangel action figure when you purchase an annual subscription. He looks cool but I wonder why they did not choose a Captain America action figure for the promo since his movie is coming out this month. I have always liked Archangel but never really cared for X-Force.

Women Wednesday: Yankee Girl

Proof that Merlin had a strange sense of humor in the Golden Age. He turned Lauren Mason into a superheroine in Red Seal Comics #17 (July 1946) and Dynamic Comics #23 (November 1947). She appeared in only those two issues until AC Comics revived her in the pages of FemForce and Sentinels of Justice. She had to say "Karma Madre Tolon" in order to gain her costume and powers but she originally had to say "Yankee Doodle Dandy". Yankee Girl received a one-shot issue in 2003 from AC Comics.
