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.
In other news, refer to
That's right. A manga of the movie based on the animated series. Del Ray pwned the rights.

Devious Comments
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.
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

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.

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

Okay, we're gonna pretend that I'm not purple, and that I'm not a toaster.
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
