Finally, a Katara action figure and DOLL!

Did I mention she's going to look nothing like Katara? ^_^ It'll be a doll with the likeness of Nicola Peltz, and the rest of the movie cast.

Spin Master Takes Master Toy License on Last Airbender

TORONTO: Spin Master has signed a deal with Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) to be the master global toy licensor for the forthcoming theatrical release The Last Airbender, from Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures...

"M. Night Shyamalan and Paramount have done an incredible job of adapting the mythology of Avatar, the Nick TV show, into an imaginative and visually stunning live-action big-screen fantasy adventure film," said Adam Beder, the VP of licensing for Spin Master. "As the world's most fun and most imaginative toy company, it's a natural fit for us to recreate the magic of the film into an original and creative new toy line that children will love..."

Well, I'll be adding that to my list of things to boycott. :iconheaddeskplz:

In other news, refer to :iconaang-aint-white-plz: for official news on The Last Airbender live-action-movie-manga.

That's right. A manga of the movie based on the animated series. Del Ray pwned the rights. :iconaliwildgoose: and :iconyaytime: are cowriting!

*Visit :iconaliwildgoose:'s journal for more on the manga's plot.

That is, if they decide to make female figures.
I looked up Spin Master's toys, but I couldn't find ANY female figures.

If they do decide to make a toy of Katara, it'd probably be cheap anyway.

Now, THAT is something that I'd gladly boycott. :D
:iconsyonanto:
;_; I guess... that's a... good thing? :faint:
That's a bit weird, though. There are already Avatar action figures out there. They're basically doing the same thing, only... non-Asian? lol my brain hurts XD

And they better not decide to make a skanky Katara doll. It'd add to the Barbiefication of Katara x1000!

I mean, they only just got rid of Bratz :(

The other cowriter, Dave Roman, is :iconyaytime: if you want to add him to the entry.

I'm still not sure what to make of the manga. I have faith in the writers, but I'm worried that it's going to be based off the film of epic fail.

Love is brightest in the dark...

Avatar fan, Otaku, and Fantasy nerd :heart:

To protest casting white actors to play Asians in The Last Airbender, go here.
:iconiamwatertribe:
It sucks and is exciting at the same time, I really wish they would have made a Katara action figure that looked like the anime series. As far as the movie Katara I guess we will take what we can get.

Great.... first Mattel doesn't make any female characters in the show's toyline, another company decides to be nice, only this time I'll be looking at Peltz, Ringer, Patel, and Rathborn in their plastic counter parts....very sad indeed.

Now, if Katara's hair is flexible, perhaps those who own one will make her loopies actually loop :S

Earggg, a manga. Can't say I'm too happy about that, but what rolls rolls. Still, I got a kick out of the toy line coming, so that's a bonus.

Kickawesome prompts, though.

Okay, we're gonna pretend that I'm not purple, and that I'm not a toaster.
:iconsyonanto:
Ah, thank you!

I, too, was glad to hear about the writers... but the fact that it's based off the film makes me really nervous T_T
