The latest movie project of James Cameron promises to be the most thrilling and spectacular movie that you have ever seen before in your life. It is of course, The Avatar Movie. And like most high budget and extremely popular movies, there are a lot of Avatar movie toys being manufactured that children and collectors want to reenact battle scenes seen in the movie.
And I shouldn't forget to mention that the faraway planet in question is called, Pandora. It is inhabited by strange and fascinating creatures that can become violent too. And there are indigenous humanoids that are 12 feet tall, blue skinned, with a tail and glow in the dark. Well, most of the creatures found in Pandora glow in the dark and you will find that a lot of the Avatar movie toys also can glow in the dark too! But I'm getting ahead of myself here...
You will also find action figurines as well as the mechanical toys of the marines that were sent in by the mining consortium to subdue and conquer the Na'vi people so the mining operation can continue unabated.
So let's get into specifics here. The first Avatar movie toy I want to talk about is the most popular one, the Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship. This neat Scorpion Chopper has 24 points of articulations (moving parts) with dual firing projectiles, 4 spinning blades and rotating gun barrels. It is packed for action and is sure to please any child (or collector) that wants to enact some of the actions seen in the Avatar movie. However, I have to warn you, the Avatar toys don't come with the figures. Those are sold separately. It is a little irritating that you need to buy one more thing to make the set complete. But I can see it from the manufacturer's point of view too. It is better to offer a wide range of figures and then have the fans pick out the one they like to match with their toys.
Having said that, onwards to the next Avatar toys! The next two toys are the fierce and dangerous creatures of Pandora. The first is the Thanator creature. This is a very strange looking creature that has six legs, 9 inch fangs and a face only a mother could love. Truth be told, it is probably much safer to get the toy instead of showing up on Pandora for the simple reason. You will still be alive.
And I also wanted to mention that most of the genuine Avatar toys, if not all of them, come with i-Tags which allows the owner access to their "virtual" toy on a special website that allows you to vicariously live through them on the virtual Pandora. I think this is a super idea that is going to make owning one or more of these toys much, much more fun.
The second creature that you may want to get is the flying creature that is all claws and teeth, the Leonopteryx. This is a pretty large toy, over 20 inch wing-span and can carry any Avatar figurine on it.
The next cool Avatar movie toy I wanted to tell you about is the RDA Combat Amp Suit that the solders get into to fight the denizens of Pandora. It has lots of articulations and can fire multiple projectiles. It can hold any Avatar figurines (so I'm told but check to make sure). And of course, you get that i-Tag so you can activate your virtual toy in the virtual world of Pandora on the Internet.
Another toy is the winged creature that is also fierce is the Mountain Banshee creature. This is the animal the Na'vi warriors bond with as a rite of passage.
I want to talk about three more toys and then you can check them out. The next Avatar toy is the RDA Combat Grinder Vehicle. This is a very cool toy that is based on the armed land vehicle that travels over rough and uneven terrain. It has cool weapons and is capable of going at high speeds. Yes, you can put in an Avatar figurine and yes, you get an i-Tag too so you can explore the wild and woolly planet of Pandora.
The next to last toy is the Dire Horse creature (or Direhorse). In real life on Pandora, this horse is big as an elephant, has six legs and has two antennae. They run very fast and can turn on a dime. But don't worry, you don't have to master the art of riding one of these huge creatures. You can get the toy instead! And sure, figures can ride them and you get an i-Tag along with this Avatar toy too.
The last toy I wanted to discuss with you is the RDA Jake Sully action figure. Jake is on a wheel chair because he cannot walk. But that won't stop him from using the Avatar Program to become mobile and whole again in the wonderful adventure of a lifetime on Pandora.
