I have a plan to build a 28mm army based around the RDA from the Avatar films. i've figured out sources for the basic infantry(1) and even a few options for doing AMP Suits(2), but i'd like to include a small unit of the Skeleton suits and/or the Recom soldiers seen in the sequel films, for extra variety. however i haven't been able to find options that would work for those. i know i'll probably have to have something 3D printed for either one, i just haven't had any luck in finding anything. (the fact that STL makers usually use creative titles for such things to help avoid legal troubles doesn't help.)

it doesn't have to be exact, i'm already using a fair bit of "close enough resemblance" for the rest, so broad strokes is fine if it gets close enough in feel. i'm not actually trying to do games set on pandora so if they don't look like na'vi, but do have a similar silhouette that's fine. (i can always fluff them as alien auxiliaries or the like. which is arguably what the Recoms are anyway)

(1) Wargames Atlantis "ooh-rah", using the space-helmets left over from a WGA Cannonfodder set. which should get fairly close to the look of the first film's Sec-ops troops.

(2) the current top runner is the Makers Cult Universal Guard mechsuits. and there is always the option of buying the toy AMP suits, though they'd need some minor conversion to work as minis.
Makerscult Universal Guard Exosuits might work for the skeleton suits too, but they're rather bulkier than i'd prefer.. i'm hoping for more of a 40K stormtrooper/scions analog for skelsuit or recom units, not ogyrn.)

Cults has some directly named ones

Many toy companies such as McFarlane Toys make figures for the Avatar films.

Or do you want help with the Avatar cartoon, which is not related to the films.

The scifi film series. Yes. I'm a fan of the fantasy cartoon as well but not planning any armies for that one.
And I'm Aware of the toys, and they'll be useful for terrain use and some vehicles.

What i was hoping to find though is the stiltlike skeleton suits:


Or the recoms.
