Diamond Select Toys Avatar The Last Airbender line of Select figures continues this month with upgraded versions! These come packed in traditional gigantic clamshell packaging DST is known for with big key art on the side. The previous versions were Walgreen’s exclusives and had a reduced package size and limited accessories.
Aang, Katara and Zuko all come with stands and additional effect pieces. Base sculpts are the same, with some tweaks. Each have a hole in the mid back to allow for the stand peg to be used. Aang has an altered head with a happy expression now. They each have new hands to work their new effect pieces as well. Articulation seems to be the same between versions. The effects are well done. The stands, not great – required a screwdriver to loosen and tighten each pose attempt and then lock into place. It’s either floppy, or about to break with any movement attempt. Best addition was Momo who comes with Aang and is a faithful rep of the show.
We’ve run the three of them to show off their new upgrades. Read on to check them out after the break courtesy of Diamond Select Toys! They are in stores and shipping now.

In-Hand: Avatar The Last Airbender Figures by Diamond Select Toys
I really hope somebody like Figma can get the rights to these characters. These look good but not great.
Considering these cost 1/4th of the price that figma would charge I’d gladly rather diamond keeps the license/Rights.
Wasn't counting Korra stuff. And was talking about movies or products on the OG series. Aka this kind of thing.
That being said, the Netflix stuff is promising.
There has also been a popular, ongoing series of ATLA comics since the show ended.
Im a big fan of Air bender so getting that Ang for sure. Looks superb.
I hope we get some of the other Avatars and some villains out of this line. A Korra Nendoroid does exist, which gives me hope Good Smile Company/Max Factory could make Figmas atbsome point.
An Avatar State variant is nearly a necessity, though.
I'm just happy we're getting Avatar figures that aren't awful.
Anyone hear any news of a Wave 2? Maybe with Toph, Sokka, and Azula???
Anyone hear any news of a Wave 2? Maybe with Toph, Sokka, and Azula???
i 100% need a figure of her.
^ Same here... Toph is my fav... the show got so much better when she joined up with them. I was actually considering buying the Toph Funko Pop just to have her represented on my shelf, but I think I can hold off now since I bet there will be more characters announced for the The Last Airbender Select figs.
These look decent, but I don't care much for the 7 inch scale myself personally. I'd rather have them a bit smaller, but all things considered I might pick these up anyway if I can find them out in the wild.
I think those look amazing, but shouldn't he come with some kind of whirlwind accessory too?
Also makes no sense they went with the book 1 look for Katara while giving us book 3 Aang and Zuko.
Saw Katara and Zuko at Walgreens... IDK... just didn't like the look of them in person... they look nicer in photos IMO. Unlike the Tron ones which I think look good enough in hand... maybe the Tron colors being more subdued has something to do with it.
Updated with the Deluxe versions, featuring bigger effect pieces etc.

The deluxe versions don't include the basic accessories too?
No, those are specific to the Walgreens sets I think.
This is the worst thing to happen to Avatar since M. Night Shyamalan.
Saw the deluxe versions at Box Lunch for only $18.90 each... the accessories and the packaging is so much better than the Walgreens version and not that more expensive either.
