Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit

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.

I've outgrown toys, and I accept this...but this toy managed to lure me into purchasing it. It's a pretty big toy, too, standing at approximately 7-9 inches tall, it looks great and cooler than your classic movie toy.

I've heard about the problems with assembly and how the articulation is faulty and how the gun and knife don't stay in the hands, but these are minor problems if, like me, you want to use it as a display on your shelf. The gun DOES take some talent and patience to pose and the knife stays in play if you position it right, and the articulation is just fine.

I hope you enjoy this toy!

I ordered this toy for my almost 8 year old son. He is not a "wild" boy, and generally takes care of his toys very well. However, after just 3 weeks, the leg broke off from the main body. When this toy arrived, you had to assemble the legs & arms on to the main body. It is at this point where the leg broke off. I was pleased with the size and style of the toy. I thought it was worth the $. But if it cannot even last 6 months, then I'm not sure I would recomend it to anyone with a child under 10, or if their child plays "hard" with toys of this kind.
