User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Pretty Disappointing
When I first saw the Avatar movie, I couldn’t help but think that it would be awesome to have an action figure of the mech from the movie. After I watched the movie for the second time, I had to go and get one. Boy was that a mistake. This thing was a disappointment and I wish I hadn’t bought it. I mainly wanted it for display purposes, but it doesn’t look very nice. It doesn’t look the least bit metallic. In fact, it looks like a big hunk of cheap plastic.
Another gripe that I had was that the weapons don’t fit in the hands properly. The gun was very loose, and the knife just completely falls out. I don’t see the point in having a removable knife if it can’t even fit in the hand. The AMP suit also does not stand up very well. You have to position it perfectly or else it will fall over, and when it falls over, rest assured that at least one of the legs will fall off.
Since I should try to say at least one positive thing, it was fairly easy to assemble. Even if you feel like you have to have one of these, I would recommend that you wait since another version of this is supposed to be released in the future. Hopefully, it will be a major improvement over this one.
5 Stars Very Good Replica!
I was overall very impressed with this product. Although the leg broke, it is great for reanacting battle scenes. It arrives unassembled but I did not need the instructions to assemble it so it is very easy to assemble. I am planning to pick up the Thanator so I reanact the battle scene at the end of the movie!
I had barely enough money to purchase the Amp Suit so I could not purchase the figure. I had to use my old Elizabeth Swan figure. I hope this reveiw helps!
5 Stars Talk about fun! Let your kids play the genocidal robot!!
Parents, have we got a great toy for your kids!
This one is a real winner! If you’ve seen Avatar, then you know how the intelligent, gentle, kind creatures are slaughtered wholesale by the massive Corporation’s troops. Now you can help your kids prepare for the future by actually pretending they ARE the guys inside the robots that slaughter all these gentle creatures!
Now if you think that isn’t the sort of fun your kids should be having, you might want to ask yourself: what sort of world am I preparing my child for? If s/he isn’t ready to follow The Company’s orders and kill who s/he is told to, while inside the giant transformerish robot suit all good modern children dream of wearing, then what sort of future are we really facing?
But hey, if your kid saw this movie and his biggest resultant desire is wanting to be the guys who commit genocide on an entire planet, perhaps your biggest concern isn’t how poorly made this shoddy piece of plastic is.
But then, again…maybe it is!!
For the right parent, with the right kid, this toy is perfect!
But for those adults and children who HAVE actually seen this movie, please join me in wondering: who the heck came up with the idea for this toy? The same guy who was fired from his last firm for his strangely failed laughing, smiling Stalin doll?
To the boys at Mattelistan: take a look in the mirror, and then another look at Avatar, and then have a nice evening’s sleep cuddling your idea of a kid’s toy. Sweet dreams to all of you. And best of luck to your kids; they’re going to need it.
And we wonder why our world is the way it is…
4 Stars Good product overall with some glitches.
I bought this for my son after seeing the movie. I was afraid of the quality because the packaging did not have windows and I would have to put it together. Not to worry. The assembly was not hard and it looks just like the picture on the box. The only con is the legs keep coming off. My son got to where he was playing without the legs on because of that. I solved that by putting a thin, long piece of grey duct tape around the top of the legs (wrap it around the whole body and both legs at least 2 times). It still has movement when you do this. He was very happy I came up with this idea instead of super glue. The gun is loose in his hand and the knife falls out of the other, but doesn’t seem to bother my son. This is why I only gave it 4 stars.
