Ghost Rider movie bust - designed and sculpted by Gentle Giant
Stunt rider turned demon hunter, Johnny Blaze aka
Ghost Rider, finally hits the big screen with Nicolas Cage (with or without an H?) all decked out in his guise and skin and bones. And flames and leather jacket. Always never forget to note the leather jacket.
Hogging around with a skull of flames is no easy task, however. True skill is needed in order to cast those fiery locks away from drivers behind who may only see an amber light ahead. Albeit not for everyone, it does have its benefits.
Keeps the sweat off - Hot as it may be, the evaporation and sweat cycle will be quick enough to not even really notice. Like dropping water onto the lid of the boiling kettle. Old fashioned, not the new fangled plastic containers.
Lighting the path ahead - Busted light? No street lamps? Might be short for the oncoming tar, still can manage to illuminate even a bit of the road and that's a little safer than riding with a helmet put on backwards.
No head, no helmet - Cavalier and careless quite enjoy riding the open roads with the wind flickering through their hair. Helmets saves most lives, and for the most part, protect the head. But when it's a skull of flames, Shirley can't be arrested for not wearing a helmet when there isn't a head to wear it on.

Lex Luthor mini bust - Superman Returns - DC Direct - sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios
Flying back into the realm of superheroes,
Superman Returns today opens across the silver screens nationwide.
After an unexplained absence, Kal-El, the last son of Krypton, makes his way back to the Earth he has chosen to protect.
Hot on his case, the ever maniacal and ruthless, Lex Luthor. Seen here with what either appears to be a kryptonite dagger or cigar. Either way, getting it close to Superman will render him powerless and ill. It's Superman's only weakness and leaves the man of steel feeling like a sheet of aluminium foil.
During the
filming of the movie, Kevin Spacey (as Luthor) was known to drive around on the lot with a Superman death buggy and shouting, "Superman must die!" Brandon Routh (Clark Kent), on first seeing this, was shocked and a little worried. After all, it's not every day you have Prot declaring he's out to kill you.
Will Superman be bested by Luthor once and for all in this... you're going to watch it any way, who's kidding who?

Clark Kent mini bust - Superman Returns - DC Direct - sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios
More than just a quick and easy way for the second fastest man alive to change from one outfit to another, wearing a suit underneath another suit has it's warming benefits. Especially in the colder months.
With a full body length costume keeping him warm, Clark Kent can easily slip out of his alter-ego into his true identity of Superman without the need for a dressing room.
Such is the reason behind quick changing in increasingly rare phone booths, revolving door entrances and back alley ways.
For the average individual, it would be like walking around in long johns. Underwear of choice for many who use an outhouse to do business in. Or for those whom the winter months take a particularly harsh attitude toward.
Superman Returns opens June 29 for all those looking to check out a dapper application of the style.
