James Cameron's AVATAR discussion thread

[CelticPredator]

Way over it.

And I've only seen the toys in Target. I dont even think kids buy toys any more. They buy games.

 

[ironwez20]

Especially the crappy toys that have been coming out nowadays, I hate 3inch figures and dont get me started on what hasbro is doing. I only buy quality merch like hot toys and sidhow and bust rarely.

 

[GrueSam]

But you wouldn't hand over a HT figure to a 8 year-old, I hope!

 

[CelticPredator]

Kids dont care about detail, or any of that crap. If it looks a bit like the character, you just play.

Hell, I used some black haired GI JOE for a James Bond when I was little....

 

[ironwez20]

Nope, i just miss 6inch figures, the spiderman 1 figures from when i was young were the shiznit now these figures are horrible so i moved on to more expensive things.

 

[CelticPredator]

Omg one sentence!

Thats good for you but i always liked the the ninja turtles without all the dumb accesories or a batman with a regular suit and not some deep diver suit. I allways wanted quality toys but maybe thats just me.

I agree and disagree...

I saw SW in the theater in '77 and nothing will replace that Wow Factor.

NOTHING!

And that movie sucked.

 

[GrueSam]

And that movie sucked.

Totally!

Those figures from star wars and kenner still look awesome compared to todays. I remember the prequel figures where luke and everyone looked like they were on roids!

Apparently the Avatar line is doing quite well and is expanding. They are going to churn out a bunch more-even colorful amp suits...lol.

I got myself the amp with quaritch to display-cant beat the price and its pretty cool. The other figures however like the navi kinda look like blue grasshoppers but the people look like gijoes

 

[lightwave000]

Indeed. I used to play Star Wars all the time around my house. Had all the toys, the sabers, the costumes......good times.

Hell, even Episode One had great memories for me.

BTW, your avatar...avatar is hilarious!

 

[lightwave000]

hahahahhahahahha!!!

AVATAR YEEEAAA OOHH YEAAA !!

I am already getting ready to go meet with some friends couple of drinks and go see AVATAR AGAIN !!
WWOOOOT !!

Ray, did you order the AMP Maquette yet? I saw your updated collection-very impressive stuff and high quality videos

 

[BadMoon]

Totally!

Horrible movie. Gave me nightmares.

excatly why i refuse to buy those crappy toys, just dont do the movie a justice. imo.

 

[lightwave000]

Yeah, the amp turned out ok but they should have gone with a better company that can make better toys. I wish mccfarlane had the license

 

[CelticPredator]

They wouldnt be better....

 

[Bloodsport]

Problem with today toys is the companies used cheap plastic. The Secret Wars with Spiderman and Doctor Octopus looks better than today figures. I love that all the figures from the marvel and DC's world are out but I wish they made them how they suppose to look and not all diesel. Im glad Im not the only one who thinks Star Wars was a tad bit goofy. The movie is made for 5 years old.
