Over the past week, we've started to become inundated with promo items for The Last Airbender. Today, MTV.com released the first images for The Last Airbender action figures.
"We worked very closely with M. Night, the rest of the Paramount team and our in-house design team, along with our partner Spin-Master, to come up with the right assortment, the right size for these action figures and make sure we we had representation of all the nations within the 'Arbender' series," said Nickelodeon's Lourdes Arocho.
The first wave of toys for TLA will come out June 1 and the second set will be coming out around July 1. This will be the second time Jackson Rathbone has been made into an action figure, but as one of my best friends told me, "Friends don't let friends buy action figures", so I don't own the first action figure. I may have to hide the Sokka one from her.
Now, TLA premieres on July 2, two days after the premiere for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Why does TLA have two trailers, numerous posters and stills, and now, action figures when all we have for Eclipse is three stills and one poster with just the title? I find this quite unfair.
Okay, folks, this is the last you'll hear from me for about a week. I'm having surgery on Thursday, so I'll be out of commission. Unless, of course, you'd be okay with me making posts while I'm on Darvoset. Goodness only knows what would flow from my fingers at that point. I think you'd all be painfully scared...or scarred...maybe both.
