Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit

Comment: These power suits were the things that I loved the most about Avatar. The design is inventive while not being far-fetched, and the intensely military look of the combat amp suit is a great appearance, in my opinion. While there are no metal or diecast parts, the toy's construction is still quite solid, and it has a fairly good amount of articulation - particularly in the arms. The weapons are nicely rendered, and with a little fidgeting, can rest securely in the hands of the amp suit. I can't really find too much wrong with this toy, although I would have liked to see some more decals and instrument panel details. Where these suits really shine is in a squad. I purchased four of them, and they look really cool in a squad arrangement. A cool toy, and a good buy.

Comment: Of the four avatar toys I got at the same time, this was the only real disappointment. The way they connect the legs to the body is just not well done. The legs have a male piece protruding, like a hexagonal shape, that mates into the same shaped female receptacle on the body, but that female receptacle is protruded, and is very thin, weak plastic. One of the legs went in alright, but I saw the other one, the female side of the connection on the body was cracked even before we could try to put it together, so while the part would slide in, it would not stay in, nor could you move the leg since it just pulled that crack apart and let the male piece spin rather than being held properly.

The detail was impressive on the rest of it, but even if it hadn't been broken before we got it, this way of joining the legs would surely have had them crack within a day or two of use anyway from the force of pivoting that leg with such a thin bit of plastic holding it there...

So it's back in the box and a return already set up with Amazon... Too bad, as this would've been a neat addition. If you're just looking for something for display though, this would work well, as if I were just going to display it, I could've just glued that piece and had no concerns, but I got it for my 6 year old and while the gunship and the fliers will stand up to him, this never would have lasted...ava

Comment: 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!

Comment: I loved this figure. I've read a few negative reviews, and I guess it depends on what you buy it for. It probably isn't the most durable thing in the world, so maybe a particularly hardy child may have a problem. however, for the collector, they look great and I can see that I'm going to get years of pleasure from this, not to mention make a mint in years to come as these objects become rare.
I'm super pleased with my purchase.

Comment: The AMP suit toy is very fun, especially the missile launcher and knife included, but it should've been assembled. The launcher wouldn't fit in the left hand of mine, and the "shoulder" parts kept coming loose. Worth the value, but it could use some tighter construction.
