TruffleShuffle Looks at Iron Man 3!
It's nearly here! With Iron Man 3's cinema release just round the corner (25th of this month!), I thought it would be the perfect time to give you guys a little background into some new characters in this awesome, action-packed new film, Iron Patriot and The Manderine.
This long awaited film has been on everyone minds since shortly after the release of Iron Man 2 waaaaay back in 2010 (can you believe it?), and sees the introduction of some amazing new character to the film series. Directed by Shane Black (who also directed the first Iron Man film), the latest adventure is set after the events that occurred in The Avengers. Tony Stark now faces a powerful enemy, the Mandarin. Left only to rely on his instincts, he must embark on a harrowing quest to find those responsible for destroying his personal life. The Mandarin is a powerful enemy with 10 Rings that grant him immense power. At the beginning of the movie, he launches an attack at the Stark Expo where Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard, is injured.
Meanwhile, the US Government is receiving evidence of people disappearing. Using his computer tracking equipment, Stark realizes that the Mandarin has been kidnapping citizens of the US and turning them into super soldiers with the new Extremis Virus. Sound good?
Iron Patriot
During filming in May last year, early Iron Man 3 set photos had first revealed that the Iron Patriot would be featured in the Shane Black-directed film.

Classic Levi’s Ads Through the Ages
Introducing out latest blog feature! Each month we're going to be taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at some classic retro TV ads that hit our small screens duruing our childhoods.Few things are guaranteed to make you feel old like getting nostalgic about old TV adverts. These are the kinds of things you often donât even know that you remember, but having been aired in between your favourite after-school shows they slip into your sub-conscious only to make you feel old in the future.
Some adverts become legendary and some brands are better known for their advertising campaigns than others. Believe it or not the classic jeans brand Leviâs have been airing TV ads since way back in 1966, so lets take a trip back and see just what Levi's brought to the TV table.
How many of these ads from them can you remember?
Good Morning World, 1974
A campaign for Leviâs âyouthwearâ features a boy and his dog having a much sprightlier morning than any I remember when having to be up early. Any 70s kid are bound to remember this, but whether you can or not, rest assured you wonât get that song out of your head any time soon.
Best bit: the dogâs ears!
The Onesie and Only!
We do love a good retro onesie here at Truffle Towers, so it's no surprise that we're loving these Superhero onesies! We're pretty well known for our retro fancy dress so we think it's about time we introduced these quirky additions to the site!
Dream of heroic rescues and Lois Lane snogs in this awesome Superman onesie! Super warm and snuggly, these pj's also come with a detachable cape.
If Batman is more your bag, then fear not!
This Caped Batman Onesie will make you look so sexy that all the villains in your life are going to try to get you to take them to the Bat Cave!
