Calling all you superhero fans out there! We've got some tasty treats of knowledge about to come you way right here :)

With such a buzz surrounding one of the most iconic and oldest Marvel Superhero characters ever, Captain America has been launched to new heights with big blockbusting films hitting the silver screen just a few weeks back.

To celebrate this new fame and perhaps the introduction of Steve Rogers to a whole new audience, we though we would take a few moments to dig into the world of the Winter Soldier and pick out some cool facts we discovered that you just might not know.

Check out our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Captain America! Enjoy....

.

1) Hi first appearance came in the first ever Captain America Comic way back in back in March, 1941. Probably a huge reason for his instant success was the cover which showed him giving Hitler what for, bound to be eye catching huh at the time huh!

Jalapeño poppers! it looks like the Weekend!

So in a dimly lit office building. Sat with our feet up behind a desk stacked with papers of non descriptive relevance, let us be your trilby hatted, trench coat wearing private detective as we go on the snoop for retro movie greatness, we'll search for clues of cinematic magnificence. Before we catch the culprit red handed with celluloid wonder. Aha!

Have a happy retro Weekend!

Shooting it's way to you leaving flame trails as it goes, our latest designs are packed with retro technology and know how that will launch anyone into not just into the past or future, but movie t-shirt nirvana!

Inspired by the iconic 80s flick Back to the Future - possibly one of our all time favourite films everrrr - our latest designs feature the real hero of the film, the amazing Flux Capacitor created by Emmett Brown AKA The Doc who famously came up with the idea back in 1955 after slipping and bumping his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock. We think the bang to the head explains a few more things too...

What is it? Well put simply by the man himself...."is what makes time travel possible."! While much to our younger selves heartache, the inner workings of this amazing masterpiece are not revealed, weird that one huh, all we know is that the iconic DeLorean car has to be traveling at exactly 88mph and also be producing 1.21 gigawatts for everything to it's thing. Not always as easy at it sounds!

Share you love for this 80s hero with our exclusive new range of Flux Capacitor T-Shirts and Vests from only £19.99....a damn sight cheaper than the real thing but equally as powerful! Take a peep...

Howdy TruffleShufflers! This week we found a cracking little Tumblr page from the very talented Darren Rawlins. He’s done a series of cartoons that takes the cars from some iconic retro shows and imagines what they’d look like as TRANSFORMERS!

Have a look at his work here.... darrenrawlings.tumblr.com whilst we run down our Top 5 Transformers from Retro Shows Inspired by Darren Rawlins!

.

1) First up, it’s a TruffleShuffle favourite, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Party Wagon! Built by Donatello, this awesome van came with all kinds of handy accessories, including missiles, breakaway doors, a radio broadcaster and parts of it could even be used as a ramp to get the Turtles out of trouble! We think the Transformer version would be pretty badass, especially if it had a few karate lessons from Splinter!

2) In a close second, we just had to pick the Batmobile. It’s been through dozens of crazy incarnations and hosted a vast array of mental weaponry but Darren has opted for the red-detailed one from the 60s TV show and Tim Burton’s sleek 1989 entry. Now, the TV show Batmobile displayed more gadgets than you can shake a batarang at in its 2 year run on our screens, but Burton’s incarnation famously included grappling hooks to scale walls, a bulletproof finish and one stonking great afterburner at the back. That makes for one pretty terrifying Transformer if you ask us, let’s hope he’s not a Decepticon...

Can you believe it!

Just like your friends younger brother or sister, the moment you're told how old they are now you're just in total disbelief! In your mind they're still the fresh faced, innocent little ones who will believe anything you tell them like "if the wind changes your face will stay like that!". Now they're the big kids of the school, beating you at all their video games and studying for exams! Scary!

Well, as much of a shock as all this can be, the iconic 00's cult classic, super-quotable chick flick Mean Girls this week will be blowing out a whopping ten candles on it's birthday cake!

Yep this fab film that brought us 'So Fetch' and 'Boo, you whore!' first premiered on the 19th March 2004! God to we feel old now!

To celebrate, check out some of our top Mean Girls GIF images that help capture some top movie moments. Enjoy!
