Mattel's Avatar Figures First Photos
those are interesting to say the least, i kinda see some of these going the way of the star trek and terminator figs, that horse thing is bizarre but that more carniverous animal is kinda neat looking...
The figures are definitely not the best looking. And that's being a little generous. I do really like the vehicles and mech, though.
They look rather crappy. Not a fan of the designs. Also the figures look like they're from an animated movie. Granted, half the characters in the film are CGI, but the humans aren't. Why do they look like they're based on animation?
I just don't see these selling very well. As stated by others, they're gonna sit on pegs like the Star Trek and Terminator lines.
The figures look like they are sculpted by the 4H, well at least the articulation is definitely influenced by them.
THE VEHICLES rule! See that's what I like, vehicles that may not be in true 1/18 scale, but don't look too small/compromised either.
whats the scale of these?? 6" or GI Joe size?
Some of the blue guys will make for great Maltusian or Indigo Lantern kit bashes. The one military air vehicle has potential too. But short of that, this just looks like another generic aliens/robots vs humans line like star trek, or terminator among others.
I would guess they're Joe size so they can fit into the vehicles.
I think the scales are the same as the recent Terminator Salvation figures.
