GekiRanger Candy Toys

Since Power Rangers Jungle Fury aired here in the Philippines months ago, Bandai released candy toys from the said series or from it's Japanese counterpart GekiRanger.

You can now grab yourself these awesome toys at SM's Toy Kingdom.

It is more articulated and cheaper than the DX versions.

GekiTouja (Jungle Pride Megazord)
and
GekiFire (Jungle Master Megazord)
are available.

3 Boxes each at P230 per box.

I still don't know if the animal spirits are available. I'm only looking for the GekiBat.

or Hoping to get the Rhino Zord CT.

Edward Norton as Hulk, No More

Edward Norton won't be in biggest anticipated movie where past Marvel movie superheroes join forces,

"The Avengers"

Norton will not be joining biggest names in the said movie like Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and more.

(Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and the new Spider-man, Andrew Garfield should be in the movie)

There were some issues regarding the reason of this news, some said money issues and some said that they want another actor to play. But they talked to Norton and he was willing to be in the movie but it didn't end well.

Whatever the issue, fans will be very disappointed including me. In every Hulk movie there is new Bruce Banner (2003 movie - Eric Bana) (2008 movie - Edward Norton).

I think Edward Norton is suited for the role and it is also fun to see that actors from the past and different movies will be in one and BIG movie like "The Avengers".

Still hoping that Edward Norton will be in the Movie.

James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier

James McAvoy will play the role of Professor X,

leader of the X-men in the reboot movie of the mutants entitled

X-men: First Class

This movie is the supposedly the continuation of the X-men Origins: Wolverine where Professor X saved the captured mutants. Emma Frost and Cyclops were the two.

X-men: First Class will focus on the first members of the X-men like Banshee, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Iceman etc. (Don't know yet if all of them will appear).

Where Charles Xavier and Eric Lensherr were young and still friends, helping each other and before they become Professor X of X-men and Magneto of Brotherhood.

For the past 3 movies, Patrick Stewart played the role of Professor X and now James McAvoy will take over to lead his own set of mutants. We will see if he is willing to be bald in the movie.

McAvoy also starred in "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie and also he became a half human-half goat in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".

The movie is set to be released in June 2011.
