Beowulf - The Poem, the Movie, the Figures

The Origins

Beowulf is an old English epic poem thought to have been composed sometime in the middle ages.

The poem tells the story of Beowulf and his battles against three different adversaries. A truly epic poem Beowulf has survived through the centuries and is the only surviving example of Anglo Saxon heroic poetry.

Despite being a mainly Scandinavian story with most of the storyline taking part in Scandinavia rather than England it has risen to become anational English epic.

The only remaining manuscript is untitled but the story became known as Beowulf in the 19th Century.

The poem consists of no less than 3,183 lines and the events described in the poem take place during the 5th or 6th Century. This can be confirmed by some of the historical events that take place in the poem and can be dated back to this period. There are many scholars who have the manuscript agree that many of the events and personalities depicted in the poem are historically accurate and also appear in many Scandinavian sagas.

It is though to have been first composed in the 7th Century, probably in East Anglia and although it deals with mainly heroic matters there are a few Christian viewpoints expressed in the poem, but most scholars believe that these were probably inserted at a latter date.

The author remains unknown and it is thought the poem was originally formed through oral tradition and passed down by scops, or tale singers. The author is considered to have been very imaginative in the way that he combined both pagan elements with traditional accounts of heroic and historical events of the time with his own imagination.

The only surviving manuscript of Beowulf is the work of two, rather than one, scribes who transcribed the poem from another earlier manuscript and it now resides in the British Library.

Beowulf is a hero of the Geats and the poem he has to battle three antagonists:

The first of these is Grendel, who is attacking and destroying the inhabitants of Heorot in Denmark, then later Grendel's mother and finally a dragon.

The first of these battles occurs when Beowulf and his men spend a night in Heorot.

After they have all fallen asleep Grendel enters the hall attacking and devouring one of Beowulf's men. Beowulf feigns sleep as Grendel approaches and then he leaps up grabbing Grendel's arm in a wrestling hold. In the ensuing battle Beowulf's men draw their swords and rush to his aid but their swords shatter and break on Grendel's thorny spikes and iron tough skin. With the throes of their battle threatening to bring the hall down on top of them Beowulf finally tears Grendel's arm from its socket and he runs off into the marshes to die in his home.

After celebrating Grendel's death, Hroogar and his men sleep in the great hall but all is not safe as Grendel's mother attacks the party, seeking revenge for the death of her son and so she kills Hroogar's trusted friend and warrior.

Determined to rid the town of both Grendel and his mother Beowulf, Hroogar and his men track her down to her lair under an eerie lake.

Unfero, a warrior, presents Beowulf with Hrunting, a sword, as he prepares for battle.

Prepared, and ready for battle Beowulf dives into the lake in search of Grendel's mother.

Grendel's mother quickly alerted to his presence, attacks him but unable to harm him through his armour she drags to the bottom of the lake. Surrounded by the remains of the many men they have killed the two engage in a fierce battle.

At first Grendel's mother gains the upper hand as Beowulf's sword Hrunting is unable to inflict any harm on her and so he throws it to one side protected only by his armour from her ferocious attack. Desperately Beowulf reaches out and grabs a sword from Grendel's mother's armoury and hefting it fiercely over his head he brings it down swiftly beheading her.

Venturing further into their lair he finds Grendel's body which he also beheads and then returns to the surface where his men await him.

After his adventures Beowulf returns home to live peacefully. Many years pass and Beowulf has become the king of his people. Then one day a slave by the name of Earnaness steals a golden goblet from a dragon's lair.

On awakening and finding the golden goblet missing the dragon leaves it's cave bellowing in rage and anger at its theft. So he wanders the land hunting for the thief and his goblet burning everything in its path.

Beowulf hears of the plight and he and his warriors approach to fight the dragon. But all of Beowulfs men, except for a young man named Wiglaf, are too afraid and run. So Wiglaf and Beowulf fight the dragon alone eventually killing it, but Beowulf is mortally wounded and soon dies from his injuries.

Beowulf is cremated and his ashes are buried high on a cliff overlooking the sea where his barrow, burial mound, can be seen by sailors.

Beowulf's people also decide to bury the dragon's treasure along with him instead of sharing it afraid that it is cursed.

There are many been different adaptions of Beowulf including books, plays and films. The latest is a new film due to be released November 2007 which although remains partly faithful to the original poem most of the plot elements are not.

Beowulf the Movie

The latest movie adaption of this old English heroic poem is said to be a cheerfully violent and strange take on the original Beowulf saga.

Although some parts of the movie remain faithful to the origins of the poem the majority of the plot are original and explore the relationship between Grendel and his mother and their motivation in more detail as well as what happens in Grendel's cave between his mother and Beowulf.

The film has been made using a special technique of digitally enhanced live action and will be released on November 16, 2007.

Two versions of the movie have been filmed and will be released simutaneously, a 3-D version and a standard 35 mm version. The 3-D version is to be screened in over a thousand using the same 3-D technology as used for Monster House, Chicken Little, and the 3-D release of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The film will star Ray Winstone as Beowulf, Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar, Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother, and Crispen Glover as Grendel.

Paramount pictures also recently agreed on a licensing agreement with McFarlane's Toys who will develope and produce action figures based on the upcoming motion picture.

The initial four figures that have been announced are:


Young Beowulf
Grendel
Grendel's Mother
Dragon

Due Nov, 2007.

Top 5 Lost Action Figures Characters

The Lost- This is an American drama TV series that follows the lives of the survivors of a plane crash happened somewhere in the South Pacific on its route from Sydney to Los Angeles. The popularity of this show has grown to a level that in most parts of the world it is seen and also the 'Lost' action figures are sold worldwide.

Every single episode of this great dram series features one storyline from island and another from a character's life, though in later episodes, it changed. The first episode was broadcasted on 22nd September, 2004 and till now, a total of five seasons have been aired. This show airs on the ABC channel in the United States and on other networks throughout the world.

Lost Action Figure - The action figures based on this TV series are officially licensed by McFarlane Toys. These action figures are approximately 6 inches in height and come at a price of $15 to $20. All these figures capture a story-specific moment with a detailed base. They have a photographic backdrop and very detailed reproduction of a prop relating to the character's story. To put realism in these figures, both scanning and videotaping of the bodies is done of the real cast of the show.

The Action Figures of 5 Top Lost Characters -

1. John Locke - This is really a fascinating character as he is impossible to pigeonhole. In crisis, this character is very confident and skilled for hunting and tracking. Also, he has a sense of leadership and an innate charisma that led to other characters 'Walt' and 'Boone' drawn to him. What really shock is that before the flight, this character was a lowly office drone and also he was a paraplegic. But, despite living a mundane life, he desperately wanted to live an adventurous life.

2. Hurley - Most of the characters can be described as 'intriguing' and 'fascinating, but Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes is simply the most realistic and nicest character amongst all them.
He is still the down-to-earth guy. In his past, he won a lottery and became a multimillionaire. He has an imaginary friend, 'Dave'. But, there is nothing very dark about this character. So he is our 'Mr. Nice'.

3. Eko - This character was introduced in season two. He was one of the survivors that were in the end part of the plane. Mr. Eko became a standout very soon and evolved in the top characters. His two distinct qualities are toughness and calmness. He is growing very popular.

4. Sawyer - The viewers hate and also love the character of James 'Saywer' Ford.The 'Lost' fans cannot ignore him and it could be his good looks or his bad boy attitude. For females, that could be the main thing for gravity. Despite all the horrible things he has done on the island, he has also done some 'stand-up' things that give him a brighter light. One clear thing about him is that can take care of him self alone very well.

5. Sayid - Alike the other characters, Sayid appeared very innocent, but later his dark side revealed from his tough past. He is the son of an Iraqi hero, who fought in the Iraqi Intelligence Department. Since the starting, Sayid has been solving problems very smartly. This character has knowledge about electronics and some engineering that he often uses in the show. He has been seen torturing Sawyer, Ben and other by beating and stabbing to keep the status quo and to understand what is going on the island.

These are the five most popular lost action figures. People of different age groups like to keep them.

Collecting Action Figures - What's Behind This Modern Day Craze

Remember when you were a kid and your mom, dad, uncle, aunt or grandparent would take you to the toy store or some other leading big-box department store. As you rush towards the action figure aisle, your heart speeding in fervour as you make your means to this supernatural toy of imaginativeness.

Now a lot of men still might purchase an action figure or two sporadically. Action figures today have become so detailed, so artistic and so coveted. These so-called "toys" remind us of our freewheeling youth. I personally have purchased around 16 action figures in the past year.

Athlete Action Figures

What I'm really into, just like so many other grown men, are action figures associated to professional athletes. The detail in some of these pieces of new art are spectacular. They have a team jersey down to every tone of color. Currently manufacturers of action figures actually make licencing arrangements with companies who sponsor a specific athlete and professional sports teams. These are reflected in some action figures as well. I am a massive professional ice hockey fan, and really am a great fan of Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin has an endorsement deal with CCM, wearing a CCM helmet, gloves, hockey pants and skates. The Ovechkin doll that I have has all the logos in place just like the real Alexander Ovechkin when he takes the ice in the Verizon Center.

Sci-Fi Action Figures

With the revitalization of sci-fi films and television, sci-fi action figures have also been best-selling. This movement started out with the successful Star Wars franchise films. These love affairs with the figures were rekindled when the original trilogy and the new prequel trilogy were released about a decade ago.

Original action figures were produced in celebration of these films. However this time the dolls were made with such detail and preciseness, it made accumulating these figures by grownups much more acceptable than in the past. The original marketplace for these toys were youngsters, nonetheless this higher level of detail can only be prized by the eye of an adult. This tendency retains today with other sci-fi characters of today's pop culture.

Todd McFarlane Toys

Comic book creator Todd McFarlane has created a toy company that was really at the forefront of this new breed of action figure explosion. Being an artist of sci-fi and comic books he understood the detail that can be crammed into these action figures.

Collecting Action Figures

When garnering action figures, you should collect as if they are fine pieces of art. You must not collect for investing purposes instead for the admiration of these works of art. If you like what you see then buy it. Even if it does not go up in value you can still delight in the aesthetics of your action figure. If you ever desired to collect as an investing opportunity then there are a few things you should know.

When a new film or television series is premiered, especially if it is a sci-fi base project, then chances are action figures will be manufactured in alignment with the premiere of these motion pictures or television series. If this is the case, eBay has hundreds of vendors who deal these investment objects before the film or series premieres. Normally the price for these items will be modest and are fitting for purchase.

After the sci-fi movie or series is premiered, usually the cost of these action figures will rise. Especially if the film becomes an unanticipated commercial success. This is great because once the motion picture is popular there will be more need for their affiliated action figures however supply will already have been dried up. This is where, you as a collector or investor can turn a profit big time. Merely trade your action figure back on eBay. It's that easy. I've been doing it for quite a while, with what I regard pieces of artistic creation that I no longer love or treasure any longer.

Wishing you the very best in your action figure investment opportunities and this incomparable form of art collecting.

Collect Action Figures For Fun Or Profit

Action figures keep alive the spirit of your favorite characters, whether from a comic book, movie or television show. They often depict some of those characters' most memorable moments or capture your heroes in life-like action doing what they do best. Perhaps you are thinking of starting a collection or you wish to add to your current collection. Here are some ideas to help you get started.

Types of Figures

Many collectors focus on one particular character or theme. They focus on a certain movie or comic story. Some have a favorite musician and collect only figures of that particular music legend. If you only collect for fun, then having a few figures will work just fine. But if you plan on collecting for profits, you might consider expanding your collection a bit. For instance, instead of having only Star Wars action figures, consider adding other SCI-FI figures and memorabilia. Look for figures and other products from SCI-FI movies or popular TV shows such as Star Trek. Transformers toys, Avatar movie toys, etc. can all fit in this category.

Sports legends memorabilia is another popular collectible category. If collecting for profits, consider expanding your collection to multiple sports such as NFL, NBA, UFC, MLB, NASCAR, etc. There are hundreds of sports action figures depicting your favorite heroes of the game!

If you're into comics, you'll find numerous figures for DC Universe, Marvel Legends and others. Add action figures to your comic book collection to bring your collection to life and increase the value tremendously. Other collectible figures include Harry Potter memorabilia, dragons, spawns, Halo video game figures, Alien Force and Ben 10 (Ben Ten) figures. These are popular with kids, and you'll find many collectibles for the younger generation to help your child learn to love this hobby.

Buy Only Quality Memorabilia

Action figures for your collection should be of high quality. These might cost extra, but the long-term value will be much greater. Whether you plan to sell or trade your items in the near future, or want to leave your entire collection to your children some day, having high quality collectibles will be well worth the added expense. One company that produces good quality action figures is McFarlane. McFarlane Figures is a subsidiary of Todd McFarlane Productions, Inc., which was founded by Todd McFarlane in 1994. The company manufactures highly detailed models of movie and comic characters, musicians, sports figures and video game characters.

A Variety of Products Online

If you're seeking rare action figures or want to ensure better quality at a fair price, shop online for your collectibles. These are available through a number of reputable sites, and shopping online is more convenient than visiting various collectible stores. You can use keywords or key phrases in the search engines to narrow your search to the specific figures or theme you desire. Buying action figures online is a great way to purchase large quantities at once and find great gifts for a loved one that collects figures.

Use these tips to expand your favorite hobby and find unique action figures that will last for generations!

Mortal Kombat Action Figures

Mortal Kombat is one of the most popular arcade games of all time. Its over the top violence and gruesome fatalities spawned endless controversy. The digital sprites the game used for the characters were revolutionary compared to the hand drawn animation that was standard in games at the time. Building on the success of the first game, the Mortal Kombat world is truly huge, spanning 17 games, 3 films and 2 TV shows. True fans can bring the characters out of the game and into the meatspace with detailed action figures.

A POTPOURI OF CHARACTERS

Some of the more popular action figures are:

Johnny Cage
Johnny Cage is a Hollywood actor, and is out to prove his fighting skills. Introduced in the original game, he is also one of the most featured characters.

Liu Kang
Perhaps the most famous character of all is Liu Kang, another character who debuted in the original game. A follower of the Shaolin White Lotus society, Liu Kang is the closest thing to a hero in the series.

Kung Lao
A former Shaolin monk, Kung Lao is the most outspoken pacifist of the Earthrealm warriors. His trademark is his razor-rimmed hat, which he can employ quite powerfully and effectively in combat.

Goro
A 2,000 year old half human dragon Goro remained undefeated for over 500 years. He won the title of Grand Champion by defeating Kung Lao, a Shaolin fighting monk. With four arms and the same number of toes, Goro is frightening to behold.

Sub-Zero
Icy in nature and in power, Sub-Zero was formerly a cold-blooded assassin. Now a wraith after being reincarnated in the Neatherrealm, Sub-Zero is the very incarnation of evil. He appeared as a fighter in all of the first seven main fighting Mortal Kombat games, in one form or another.

Scorpion
Scorpion, formerly a human ninja assassin, now deceased and a hell-spawned specter clad in black and yellow. In the original game, both scorpion and Sub-Zero shared the same character model, the only difference being their coloring.

Which Mortal Kombat action figures will YOU choose?

SOURCES

There are a number of sources for Mortal Kombat Action Figures. One of the best ways to find out about the current market is to input "Mortal Kombat Action Figures" (without the quotes) into any search engine, like Google. You will get a listing that will have several commercial sources, plus some other sites that contain information.

PRICES

You will find that prices for Mortal Kombat Action Figures range up to $325 and possibly more! Reasons for higher prices for some of the products include limited initial production, popularity, and scarcity on the open market. Lots of factors are involved in determining the prices of action figures on the market, but you can definitely find quite a few figures for under ten dollars, or at least in the low tens of dollars.

IT'S TIME TO JUMP RIGHT IN

Now it's your turn. If you are interested in Mortal Kombat Action Figures, dig in and have some fun. You will find there are many other people with a similar interest, and numerous sources for cool products.
