If I wanted figures of the Gaang and maybe Azula in roughly six inch/1:12 scale, what are my best options?I was looking at BST AXN, but apparently that scale is fucked all to hell. But maybe I could pick and choose from different lines?
so many companies have tried but all are shitty. The original Mattel ones from many yrs back are just kids toys. Shitty sculpts and they never made any females. BST AXN has bad scale and they're tinier than most other figure lines. Diamond Select have decent sculpting but really horrible articulation.McFarlane only did three or four in their larger super articulated scale. They made most the main chars in the smaller less articulated 4" scale but those have so few joints that you cna't really even pose themJazzwares is the company making them currently but they aren't very good either. The taller ones have soft goods but they look cheap and the faces look bad. The taller ones also only have Aang and Zuko so far. The line may be over already since there's been no news for like half a year and the figs are not selling from stores. >But maybe I could pick and choose from different lines?You can't even pick and choose since each company has a very distinct style. Mattel's original ones are plasticy looking with soft sculpts. Mcfarlane is hyper detailed with realistic clothing texture all over. DST has smoother sculpts but strange proportions. Jazzwares has soft goods unlike any others and are closer to 7" than 6
>>11819158Fuck, man. I was excited for the BST AXN line at first before I found out they made Aang a god damn giant. This sucks. But thanks for giving me the heads up.
Fuckswares realy thought: uuuh yeah for our first wave we are having last book aang without a battle face and no other elemental effects aside for air...also the worst look for Zuko yeah that would surely sell well
>>11819163they showed off many other figs like Toph, Katara, Azula, Suki and Sokka but still only have Aang and Zuko out and it's been months. Zuko is marked down to $12 on Amazon if anyone is really curious. But those dont look good. The faces are so meh and the fabric clothing looks cheap
>>11819170Wow, that's every character I wanted.And the toys suck and probably aren't even coming out.Awesome.Got any pics at least?
>>11819172https://toynewsi.com/238-61854the tiny Katara and Sokka figs are out somewhere. I saw someone on tiktok with them but all the stores by me are full of the Spirit Aang and Zuko that aren't selling.
>>11819178Thanks Anon>6.5 inch scale>4.5 inch scaleWhy do toy companies always gotta get crazy with it? Just stick with 6 inch or 3.5.
>>11819132Was trying to reply to this a lot earlier when my PC decided to freeze up for no reason. But, yeah, other anons have already covered my frustration and disappointment with the various lines. I ended up giving up and just going with the Diamond Select Gallery statues, and even THAT line got fucked because DST went out of business before we could get Sokka and finish the team. I think it's going to take an import line to finally do the series justice, but it isn't popular in East Asia so we're probably shit out of luck for anything beyond nendoroids. Franchise is just cursed for toys.
>>11819274>Franchise is just cursed for toys.Franchise is just cursed period. It's been mistreated by the network, saddled with awful movies and a tv series the creators even bailed on, and now Paramount set this Aang movie out to dry and pulled the theatrical release after the year long delay already. The Aang movie was supposed to be in theaters at the end of last year I think, which is why Jazzwares even got the toys made. So there would be things on shelves for the movie being out. But now there is no movie going to theaters, the full film leaked online months ago, and the Jazzwares toys may not even be in stores by the time it's out on streaming. It's just a fucking mess and this really may be the end of the franchise since this isn't going to pull in new people as fans.
>>11819132God, what I wouldn't do for some SH Figuarts A:TLA figures...
>>11819280Yeah, the movie being leaked so far in advance was crazy. Might be the end for the Gaang outside of the comics unless the live action really blows up in the next 2 seasons. There is at least a new Avatar series coming next year with an earthbender that'll allegedly be two 13 episode seasons, so the entire franchise isn't dead yet. I'm keeping my expectations low, though.
>>11819464>the entire franchise isn't dead yetIt might as well be because everything outside of the original show sucks giant schlong
>>11819464Not gonna lie, this looks very nearly tumblrcore.High Guardian Spice vibes.Iirc they also made her disabled because of course.
>No Avatar figures in 1/12 scale>No DC figures in 1/12 scaleStarting to feel a bit like I backed the wrong horse here. Why is 1/12 scale so hard to find?
>>11819778DC? There's plenty of lines. The Mattel collector line starting next yr will be the superhero 1/12 scale that matches Marvel Legends. For a true 1/12 scale that's a little shorter you have all the import lines.
>>11819825Oh dang, the DC collectors line was confirmed for 1/12? Thanks, I didn't know that.
>>11819827Yeah many times. The kid figures that are out now are the exact same size as Marvel Legends and those actually look really great with them. Better than any of the previous Mattel DC stuff and this is the kid toy line
>>11819860Well damn, I'm hyped now. I might need to get some of the core line, then.Hoping the Collector's line will go for some deep dives.Now if only we could get some decent ATLA figures without fucky scale issues.
>>11819178That Katara looks like a robot chicken custom.
>>11819464>>11819770I'm calling it, it's going to be trash. But then again everyone can see that coming from a mile away
>>11819996She fucking does kek
>>11819162Zuko looks like a fucking chudAlso Sokka looks like Toph’s voice actor
>>11819162Robot chicken toph
