And yes, that walker looks rubbish. Why does it need hands to hold a gun? What I like about the Aliens Power Loader was that it looked like a machine built for a function.

Anyway, this is (probably) one James Cameron film that GW won't be plundering design ideas from.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1031884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1031884.page GMT Re:Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1031937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1031937.page GMT Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender) http://www.flickr.com/photos/41676592@N02/

I guess the Dark Knight was just about the Jokers rampage on Gotham, what actually happens in the story means nothing, right?

I actually compare this movie to the CG flick battle for Terra that came out earlier this year. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1035807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1035807.page GMT Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender) Horse is Sleipnir ,

Except Sleipnir has 8 legs, not 6, and they're 4 across in front and 4 across in back, not 2-2-2-2.




This thing just looks like it has 2 extra legs tacked on right behind its normal front legs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1035838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1035838.page GMT Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender)

Sure, but the style is straight from Squares design team.

Technically Delgo is a knock-off of Avatar which been on paper for some 15 odd years and just start filming a couple of years ago.

Point One: thats why I said much. Probably should have been more specific.
Point Two: Oh, thats interesting. Wonder how that happened.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1036621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1036621.page GMT Re:Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender)
All in all, that photo you have there doesn't do it justice. There are about two or three range sized of figures. One was 6 inch, the other was approx. 3-4 inch, depending on the size of those new G.I.Joe figures.
I expect that they will have a 12 inch version of a couple of the lead characters, as well.

The V.T.O.L. is really tight, and would go great for a flyer model, providing you add the appropriate cardstock, and additional Imperium glyphs and decals. The thing hazs alot of detail for a toy, and there is an additional tank like thing for the ground that is kinda cool, as well.


Additionally, if you had yourself one of those HALO quad runnders, it would go great in the back of the vehicle and come out the ramp. (I'm thinking drop troops here, if I was to go at playing with this with the 40K guys.)

The aliens have a bunch of animals and a dragon kinda thing that looks kinda Meh.
As for that walker, that looks like some sort of Terminatior salvation reject that they didn't get out in time.

.... Speaking of Terminator salvation, theres an HK that looks kinda like the flier that might be a better scale for the game, and probibly wouldn't need as much work.

You might consider using both, one as a troop transport, the other as a cargo transport.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1038504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260203/1038504.page GMT Re:Has anyone seen the Avatar toys (James Cameron, not the Last Airbender)
