Geeky Motorcycle Leathers And Cool Jackets

Wanna be a biker?

But maybe being a traditional biker isn't the path you want to go. Maybe you want to be a new kind of biker... A geek biker.

Yes, I said Geek Biker!

UD Replicas has released a line of biker leathers that aren't your average Harley Davidson. These leathers allow you to show the world that you and your bike are into stuff... geeky stuff.

Behold!

Stormtroop and Shadow Trooper

As the backbone of the imperial army, the Stormtroopers are the empire’s legions, a mass of menacing power in their awe-inspiring armor.

Now, one of the most iconic uniforms in the STAR WARS™ universe has been exquisitely rendered in leather by the UD Replicas’ team, setting a new standard in leather garment manufacturing.

Inspired by the classic STAR WARS™ imperial armor, UD Replica’s designers have raised the bar on what can be accomplished working with form-molded leather. Each rounded segment, every chiselled and bevelled edge perfectly replicates the look of the on-screen armor.

Available in both Shadow Trooper black or the classic Stormtrooper imperial white, each suit comes complete with built-in CE-approved body armor to fully protect the motorcycle rider. If you want to ride in true STAR WARS™ style, have no doubts...this IS the suit you’re looking for!

 Darth Maul

Before there was Vader...there was Maul.

As the STAR WARS™ universe began to unfold in Episode I, we were introduced to one of its most unique characters. Darth Maul, Sith apprentice, with his double-bladed lightsaber and stunning martial arts skills, was a crimson and black tattooed warrior who battled our Jedi heroes and showed them the true power of the Dark Side.

Now, you too can feel that power when you put on your own officially licensed, movie-inspired Darth Maul Racing Jacket, boldly emblazoned with the unmistakable red and black pattern of this Sith warrior. Created by the master leather craftsmen at UD Replicas, this is not only a work of art, it’s a fully functioning motorcycle jacket, complete with built-in CE-approved body armor. Remove the armor and you have a leather jacket that is guaranteed to turn heads with its unique bold styling.

Daredevil

Daredevil, also known as The Man Without Fear, has occupied a special place in the Marvel Universe since his first appearance in comics in 1964. Considered one of the greatest comic book characters of all time by both Wizard and Empire magazines, Daredevil was first brought to the big screen in 2003 with Ben Affleck in the title role. But the real visual star was Daredevil’s sleek red leather suit that protected our hero as he fought for justice in the crime-ridden Hell’s Kitchen area of New York.

Now, you can own your own faithfully rendered official movie replica of the Daredevil suit, specifically designed as a fully functioning motorcycle suit. Working from the screen-used suits worn by Ben Affleck, the craftsmen at UD Replicas have faithfully reproduced every detail, right down to Daredevil’s unique emblem embossed in the leather jacket. More than just stylish, each suit incorporates protective design features all designed with the rider’s protection in mind.

Iron Man

 

When billionaire industrialist Tony Stark travels, IRON MAN™ always comes along for the ride. But when space is at a premium and mobility is a priority, Stark's luggage always includes a very special suitcase that can instantly deploy Iron Man's Mark V armor. First seen on the streets of Monte Carlo during the Grand Prix, the Mark V blends portability and power. At UD Replicas, we've captured the power and style of the Mark V armor, rendering it in form-molded leather to create the perfect Iron Man motorcycle suit.

Make no mistake, this is not a costume but a fully-functioning armored motorcycle suit that pays tribute to the vision of Iron Man as seen on the big screen.

Wolverine

 Everyone's favorite mutant-with-an-attitude always makes an impression but never so much as when he is decked out in his sleek, powerful X-Men™ BATTLESUIT. Patterned directly off of the Wolverine™ suit used in X2: X-Men United™, UD Replicas has created a perfect screen-accurate replica motorcycle suit that combines real-world function and protection with a highly detailed X-Men(tm) design. Like Logan, we love motorcycles and we know what riders are looking for in a suit.

Captain America

He was the first.
Before the Avengers could become a team…he led the way.

Forged in war, freedom’s greatest protector was
Captain America…The First Avenger.

Now with this Officially Licensed Movie Replica, you too can own the ultimate tribute to the ultimate hero. Meticulously designed as a screen-accurate leather motorcycle suit, UD Replicas proves you don’t need super serum to look like a superhero.

One of the most unique leather uniforms created for the screen can now be yours. Every feature as seen on film in Captain America: The First Avenger has been replicated in form-molded leather from the classic color-scheme to the aluminum accent emblems on the back, arms and forever iconic silver star emblazoned on our hero’s chest. Perfectly crafted gloves, boots, functional belt and detailed rigging complete this iconic battle-uniform that captures the retro 1940s Captian America: The First Avenger design.

Be a part of the continuing legend with the UD Replicas Captain America: The First Avenger motorcycle suit.

BATMAN

In BATMAN BEGINS™, we’re introduced to Bruce Wayne’s first incarnation of the BATMAN™ suit. Created by the Applied Sciences Division of Wayne Enterprises, this raw and intimidating design becomes an integral part of building the legend of The Dark Knight™ on the streets and rooftops of Gotham City.

At UDReplicas, we have faithfully rendered the sleek, bevel-edged anatomy of this first bat suit with the same attention to detail found in our version of the suit’s successor as seen in the film The Dark Knight™.

As with all our screen-accurate replica motorcycle suits, we painstakingly work with the original screen suits to capture their unique designs in form-molded leather. With this latest offering, we were fortunate to work with Brian Best, the craftsman at Shepperton Studios in England who supervised the mold design and model-making workshops that created the on-screen suits for BATMAN BEGINS™.
The result of this collaboration is obvious in every detailed angle of the sculpted armour and is sure to please any fan who demands the utmost in accuracy.

Aren't they awesome? I'm not sure which one I want more, the Stormtrooper or Captain America; not that I would ever get on a motorcycle, but I can still appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. There are also some cool geek leather jackets on the site.

Speaking of cool jackets, these ones from Volante Design won't protect you while biking, but are still majorly cool.

The Wolverine and Captain America jackets are now available, as well as some cool assassin hoodies. You can email about them at  info@enzovolante.com 

The rest are just sketches, but I really hope they make them as well.

 I really want the Doctor Doom jacket, and how cool are the Cloak and Dagger Duo?

So if you wanted to be a geeky biker or just have cool geeky jackets, what character would you want to look like?

New Trailers For The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-man!!

I mentioned in an earlier post that 2012 is going to be an awesome year for movies!

Here are some new trailers for awesome looking movies, to give us more of an idea of what we can expect to see come movie time.

The Amazing Spider-man

I've always been a huge Spider-man fan, that is until the last 3 movies came out. Although I kind of enjoyed the movies, the Spider-man that I knew and loved slowly slipped away. It wasn't until I re-read Marvel Civil War, that I remembered how much I loved him. I'm really hoping that this new movie does him justice. I am super stoked that Gwen Stacy is the love interest and not Mary Jane, for once. I'm also excited that the villain is The Lizard! Not someone you see very often. (I always mix him up with Killer Croc)

The Avengers

This trailer fills my heart with school girl glee! I've been waiting since Civil War to see Steve and Tony interact on screen! Their chemistry is amazing!

Squee!

Clint, Natasha, Bruce and Thor look amazing, but don't say anything, so it's hard to grasp what they'll be like and as far as I'm concerned, Nick Fury aka Samuel L. Jackson as himself talks too much. But that's a rant for another day.

Here's hoping that this movie is amazing and they decide to make a Civil War movie. I would love that sooo much!

Captain America Earworm

Ever heard the Captain America theme song from the '60s? Ron remembered it the other day and made me look it up on youtube.

When Captain America throws his mighty shield,

All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.


If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due,

Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through


When Captain America throws his mighty shield.

I've had this song stuck in my head for days!!

And hopefully now you do to! You're welcome ;)

Thanks to Einheri's Superhero Songs for the lyrics, so I can finally stop making up my own

Sexy And Geeky Underwear; A Winning Combination

I love fun and colourful panties. When you're having a bad day, knowing that your underwear is fun can make all the difference.

Fun, colourful and geeky panties are even better. I only own a few pairs of those; Batgirl, Wonder Woman and Boba Fett. But don't worry, there will only be more in time.

Like these for example;

Do I ever want these!

I love me some Cap and this would be an awesome way to show my support. Not to mention that the 'figure' on it gives the chest a nice roundness to it. I also love the belt on the bottoms. Super cute.

Now Spencers isn't just offering Captain America cami sets, but also these lovely Marvel ladies:

Black Widow looks the least realistic to me out of all of them (if a cartoon cutout printed on a camisole can be considered realistic), I mean just check out the unzipped neckline and that fiery background! But again I'm loving the belt so I guess that makes up for it.

White Queen, otherwise known as Emma Frost, is one of my least favorite Marvel women, but I still like this set. It certainly is cheaper than going out and buying a white leather corset (and probably comfier to sleep in too)

As far as realistic goes, I think that She Hulk pulls it off the best. (Do to the green skin perhaps?)  I also love the fact that she's wearing jeans. I'm not really sure why, but I do.

Last but not least is Spider Man (Or Spider-Girl according to the shorts) Out of all the shapes, I think this one could use a little work. Perhaps if they changed the background to a different colour, you could properly tell that it's trying to be shapely.

It's kind of funny, usually I find clothes that try and depict a different shape on them to be distastefull and tacky, but I actually like these and plan to own a few different (or possibly all) pairs. Mind you, you won't see me leaving the house in them, so I guess that's ok. right?

So what do you think? Would you wear them or want a girl to wear them for you? Is the cutout shape distastefull or fun? Should I buy these and if so, what pair?

That's to Fashionable Geek for the sexy tip

Captain America: The First Avenger

Being the Canadian that I am, I always thought that Captain America was stupid. Why would I want to read a comic about some stupid, flag waving, American?

I thought this way for years, or at least until I picked up Marvel Civil War and absolutely fell in love with the Cap.

So when I found out that they were going to be making a Captain America movie, I got excited. When I found out that hottie, Chris Evans of Human Torch fame, was going to be playing the Cap, I got really excited! I don't know how Chris can be both the Human Torch and Captain America, but you won't hear me complaining.

Not one bit...

For fans of superhero movies, the most patriotic holiday on next year’s calendar won’t fall on July 4th, but exactly 18 days later. That’s when Paramount Pictures will release Captain America: The First Avenger, a big budget adaptation of the Marvel Comics shield-bearing super-soldier. The new issue of Entertainment Weekly offers your first look at star Chris Evans in the hero’s red, white and blue threads — but you can get a peek at the man in uniform right here, right now.

Our story also brings you to the set of the London-based production, directed by Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, October Sky). During a break in shooting, Evans — on his second tour of Marvel duty, having played the Human Torch in Fox’s Fantastic Four films — explained he was reluctant to accept the call of Captain America, in part because he had already portrayed a Marvel-ous mystery man. Of course, he also worried about the potential cost of failure, but he also worried the potential cost of fame should the movie be a hit.

“At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, ‘If the movie bombs, I’m f—-ed. If the movie hits, I’m f—-ed!’” After declining the part three times, Evans took a meeting with Marvel execs and Johnston and was dazzled by their plans for the movie. He still felt wary about suiting up for Captain America — but then he had an epiphany. “I was just scared,” he says. “I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear.’” Evans signed a six-picture deal with Marvel to play the character, and he has no regrets: “I can’t believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America.”

The movie — which also serves to set up Marvel’s 2012 superhero team-up, The Avengers -- hews closely to Captain America’s WWII-era origins. The year is 1942, and Steve Rogers is a scrawny lad who desperately wants to fight Nazis for his country but can’t because he’s been deemed physically unfit. His fate — and his physique — is radically transformed when he signs up for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation that turns wimps into studs using drugs and assorted sci-fi hoo-ha. There’s a love interest (Major Peggy Carter, played Haley Atwell), there’s a sidekick (Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stans), and there’s the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler’s treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a magical object known as The Tesseract (comic fans know it better as The Cosmic Cube). “The interesting thing about this character is that he’s an everyman who in the course of a few minutes become a perfect human specimen. That has to create some interesting personal issues,” says Johnston. “I saw it as an opportunity to make a superhero movie that felt real, that didn’t have to rely on an overabundance of fantasy elements.”
 

Hell, I don't even care if the movie sucks (like so many other superhero movies have) as long as I get eye candy like this through the whole thing.

Actually, from the shots that I've seen of this movie, it could be pretty good. Marvel has really stepped up their game in the last few years too and with the Cap being a part of the Avengers, they're bound to try and do their best.

I do love a man in uniform.

I'm excited that they got to Hugo Weaving to play the Red Skull. Having him there makes me feel more confident that it'll be a great movie.

There does seem to be some confusion going around as to what version of Cap they'd be doing. As you can see from the pictures above, they seem to have gone with the WWII era, but on the cover of Entertainment Weekly he adorns a more modern version of the suit and shield. 

Will we see Cap in both eras? Or will the suit only show it's self in the other Avengers' movies? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
