TORONTO--(Business Wire)--
Super Heroes are coming to the real world in spectacular new ways thanks to two
new creations in development by UD Replicas under license from Marvel
Entertainment, LLC. 

UD Replicas unveiled a stunning new Wolverine Motorcycle Suit - including
leather jacket, pants and gloves as seen in X2: X-MEN UNITED - during Wizard
World Toronto Comic-Con, and orders will be accepted online at
www.udreplicas.com in late April. 

"Wolverine has one of the sleekest, most amazing suits you can imagine, and what
we`re creating is as close to the real thing as you could possibly get," said
David Pea, owner of UD Replicas, the officially licensed division of Universal
Designs Ltd. "It has taken us literally hundreds of hours to get it right, but
the end result is truly stunning and we hope fans will love it." 

To ensure precise detail, Marvel provided UD Replicas with access to the
Wolverine suit worn on screen in X2: X-MEN UNITED. To create the jacket, gloves
and pants, UD Replicas is utilizing four different types of leather, which are
hand-worked into an intricately faithful replica of the on-screen suit. Each X2
Wolverine Motorcycle Suitalso incorporates removable CE-approved body armor;
gloves with built-in, anti-skid Kevlar in the leather lining of the palms; and
an interior, form-molded muscle suit sandwiched into the jacket`s torso section.


Pea continued, "No matter who you are, when you put it on and zip it up, you
look like a Super Hero." 

Under its multi-title license with Marvel, UD Replicas also announced today that
it is in development on an extraordinary leather replica of Tony Stark`s Mark V
Suitcase Suit that will be seen in Marvel`s eagerly anticipated IRON MAN 2,
which will be released in the U.S. on May 7. 

"We`re putting our creative senses to work like we`ve never done before," Pea
said. "We`re going to mold and shape the leather to replicate the beautiful
bevels and hard angles of the Mark V suit. We`re making the leather look like
metal, and doing things we never thought would be possible." 

UD Replicas plans to unveil the IRON MAN 2 Mark V Suitcase Suit in time for the
film`s debut.
