Zywer Industries Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra PVC Kits

[OFGhost]

I noticed that there were a couple of dead threads in the anime section, but since they weren't being updated (and these aren't actually anime) I decided to make my own in this section. So far only two have been released (and one convention exclusive), but they have an entire line planned and in the works.

Original sneak peak showing possible candidates for PVC kits:




The Legend of Korra - Chief Lin Beifong (August 2015)

As Chief of Police for Republic City, Lin Beifong is responsible for the safety and well-being of the city's citizens. She is extremely skilled in metalbending.

- Pre-painted PVC Kit
- Created with direct input from "The Legend of Korra" crew & creators
- Easy to assemble
-Laser etched metal name plate
- Individually hand painted
- Figure stands approx. 11" tall













The convention exclusive edition with a high-gloss finish on the armor and gold-colored name plate:




The Legend of Korra - Korra (July 2016)

Hailing from the Southern Water Tribe, Korra is the latest Avatar. Master of all the elements, she faces the difficult task of maintaining peace and balance in her world.

- Pre-painted PVC Kit
- Easy to assemble
- Figure designed by "The Legend of Korra" Supervising Producer/Character Designer Kihyun Ryu
- Laser etched metal name plate
- Individually hand painted
- Figure stands approx. 11" tall
- To scale with previously released Chief Beifong PVC Kit
- Interchangeable left arm for two poses

I think it's safe to say that we can expect a new figure announcement soon and another release next year. A very good start to a promising company!

It took me a while, but I finally got this in the mail today.

I'll be honest, it isn't perfect. The paint job is pretty lack-luster, and the parts are a nightmare to fit into their sockets right, but it does look fine on a shelf. Here's a close-up of the face so you can see the paint apps I'm talking about:

Yowza, stayed away from this because it was 50% more expensive that the first statue in the line (which is impossible to sell). But that looks bad, had high hopes for this line.

Yeah, it looks pretty whack upon close examination, but in a display cabinet it looks fine. I'm sticking with the line only because I love ATLA, and this is the only company to put out anything aside from Dark Horse. I wish it was half the price though. The poor paint apps don't justify the $100 spent.

Its like €160,- for Korra here.

Received mine today. I like it, best Korra out there (not like there's many ). Agree with OFGhost on this, parts were annoying to put in, high price but it looks great on display.

Hopefully we get an Aang soon.

I don't know if I can justify buying Lin. She looks great, but I'm not a huge Legend of Korra fan. The only other characters I'd like to have are Mako and Asami. But I would be down for pretty much every ATLA character; I just hope they improve the quality. $100+ for the statues as they currently stand is not a fair price.

Spoiler

I'd love to get Lin, if it were cheaper. I justified getting Korra since I'm a huge fan of show and she's the main character. I'd get Aang of the same reason but maybe not the other characters (even though I really like them too) for the reasons already stated.
