Superhero Toys : Cute Plush Superheros for Babies, Toddlers and Kids of All Ages

May6

Looking for Superhero Toys for your child?

These Superhero plush toys are adorable! The brand Funko creates these very cute little superhero “dolls” or “stuffed animals”. Even though they say ages 3 and up, most of the Plushies do not have “small parts”. (I am not, however, endorsing giving these plushies to children under the age of 3).

Preview of the coolest superhero movie ever!

Loki at The Avengers Premiere (Tom Hiddleston)

Since seeing the movie The Avengers, I am in love with Loki! Tom Hiddleston did a magnificent job as Loki. Loki was soooo mischievious, elegant, powerful, regal and seductive in this film. Compared to Loki in the movie Thor, this Loki is even more attractive! (Even though it is the same actor) Must be the longer more whispier hair … a lot more mischevious smiles :)

Marvel’s Avengers Assemble made me have to redo my entire list. The most georgeous man in the 9 realms : Tom Hiddleston as Loki is now right up on the top of my list with Alexander Skarsgard ;). ♥ ♥ ♥. Sorry Johnny Depp, you are no longer in first place :(

I definately think that Tom Hiddleston should grow his hair out and dye it black and just try to ressemble more like Loki in day to day life. Too bad the actors from the film didn’t come to the Premiere in costume :( That would have been awesome!

Alexander Skarsgård is definately on the top of “my list”. Here is an awesome video of him and his father, Stellan.

Having recently seen the best movie ever made to date : The Avengers, I noticed the name Skarsgård in the credits. As a huge admirier of Alexander Skarsgard, I wanted to find out if there was any relation to the name I saw in the Avenger credits. (Oh because obviously as with any great Marvel film, you want to watch the credits … hint, hint ;) - Well it turns out the actor who plays Professor Selvig is actually the father of the most georgeous man in the world : Alexander Skarsgård. ♥ ♥ ♥

The vocals of this song are so amazing, for until I checked to see who was singing, I thought it was Dave Matthews! Awesome job on vocals, Patrick Fleming, this is amazing. We are huge fans of you. I was showing this video on YouTube to a collegue and another one heard the song and asked who was singing and wanted your album :)
