Dark Horse are getting their Avatar statue line off the ground after a long string of delays.
7-inch, limited edition Aang statue. Only 150 being released with individual numbers. ($80)
>>84445646
8-inch, limited edition Sepia Korra statue.
300 released with individual numbers. ($80)
There is already a non-Sepia version on the market, this is a special variant for some unknown reason.
>>84445669
Also, a new stylized Korra poster from Gallery Nucleus.
>>84445669
There something wrong with korra's clothes
>>84445740
It's not just her clothes. It's everything. I think they're trying to make it the colors of those faded 1920s photos.
>>84445740
It's in sepia tone dumbass, she's already brown so you didn't notice.
>>84445646
>>84445669
These don't even look good.
>>84445836
They have that cheap plastic look to them.
>>84445761
but why is her eyes blue?
>>84446167
because korras eyes are blue
>>84445669
>a special variant for some unknown reason.
I'm gonna guess Comic Con.
>>84445836
>>84446124
Aang's eyes are shaped wrong, too. First thing I noticed.
>>84445712
God, I can't really give a fuck for their team avatar, no dynamic at all.
>>84445646
he looks like johnny carson
>>84446167
Are they? I honestly can't tell.
Either way, I'm not sure who'd want this. The film reel recaps aren't exactly an iconic look for Korra. Plus you'd have to explain to anyone who sees it that it's sepia themed, because everybody's just going to take one look at it and wonder why the colors are wrong.
>>84445646
Does it count as "getting merchandise off the ground" if you're only making 150 of them?
>>84445669
Korra as seen on your black and white TVs
>>84445646
>>84445669
So it's only Aang and Korra? No Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Bolin or Pabu?
>>84447742
There was this preview from years ago, which outlines both team Avatars (minus Asami, and Suki, I guess) but plans seem to have hit the shit since then, so whether this is still their intention or not is anybody's guess.
Preview for the next comic, North and South Part 1 was has also been released.
Might as well post it here and make it a general Avatar thread.
1/7

This story is set concurrently with most of Smoke and Shadow.
Basically what Katara and Sokka were doing at that time.
>>84448726
3/7
Release date is September 14
>>84448754
4/7
Pretty sure these pages aren't consecutive...
Which means some PLOT must happen after the second page
>>84448801
5/7
Summary is;
>When Aang leaves to aid Zuko with the Kemurikage, Katara and Sokka return to the Southern Water Tribe by themselves. Katara is shocked to find that her beloved village has become a bustling city, with none other than their father, Hakoda, in charge! A Northerner named Malina seems to be behind this change, pushing the North and South to be more unified ... but what are her true goals
>>84448801
>Bubbles
>that headband
SHIIIZAAAA
>>84448835
6/7
Which is funny because Malina was the name of was the name of Eska and Desna's Mom, but it can't be her unless Unalaq got an 80 year old woman pregnant.
>>84448874
7/7
Seems pretty cool so far, but I've been wanting a Sokka and Katara comic for years, so I'm probably a little biased.I'm fatigued from all the Fire Nation family DRAMA. I'm hoping it's more like The Rift and less Smoke & Shadow.

I'm loving the designs for this, did Gurihiru draw them?
>>84445669
>>84445646
Damn, these look mediocre.
>>84449081
Yeah, Gurihiru have drawn all the main ATLA comics so far.
>>84449297
Might as well post the covers as well, seeing as they're all released.
>>84449327
>>84449345
Last one.
Any word on the LoK comic?
>>84449386
Nah, shit's super hushed right now.
The LoK comics have supposedly lost their artist. There was supposed to be some news with the ATLA comics at SDCC but Dark Horse announced last minute that there'd be no LoK news.
>>84447742
there are 2 pabu plushes if you like that
>>84449675
That sounds neat, it's going to be a nice thing to have until theBolin dakimakuraor Asami, I'm okay with eithergets created.
Gurihiru draws such cute characters that it should be a crime.Also I want porn in this style.
>>84449386
Hopefully they've scrapped the project.

My body is so ready
>>84445646
>>84445669
Is this simple color scheme appealing or just cheap?
>>84450049
At least Aang's colors are recognizable. Nobody will get what poopscale Korra is unless you explain it.
Why do they look like they're standing on piles of shit?
>>84449297
As much as I wish they looked older, I love Sokka's outfit here. Just a touch masculine and regal.
>>84447870
This is for the Zwyer line which seems to still be on track, with the Korra figures shipping this month and Korra + Aang chibis arriving in August. Production just seems to be kind of slow since I think they revealed the Lin figurine before the series ended and didn't officially reveal Korra until last Thanskgiving. I assume Aang will be next to get a full scale figure.
>>84445646
>>84445669
Honestly this isn't me trying to shill for Zwyer but these really don't look all that good, definitely not worth $80.
Bump for cute Gurihiru art.
>>84449809
fuck off
>>84445646
Why are western figures always over priced and covered in gloss coat even in places that need matte?
>>84453570
So you're saying these lumpy, shiny, washed out figures are good? Or are you just upset that when compared to an actual quality figure that you can't help but notice how terrible they are?
>>84453649
>Comparing one figure to another
>Figure A happens to share a problem with several other figures, all of which happen to be western
>Figure B is an example of a figure that doesn't have any of the problems presented and happens to be Japanese
I don't really see the problem. We're discussing figures here, not series. Care to explain what I did wrong?
>>84453713
Right now, you're the one shitposting and I'm the one actually trying to discuss the topic. Really makes you think, huh?
>>84450356
It's art.
Aang's turd is soft, circularly rounded a sweeping whereas Korra's is harsh, rigid and unyielding, much like their personalities
>>84450833
Water Tribe is /fa/ as fuck
>>84453413
Nigga where can you find non overpriced weeaboo toys? I just spent over $60+shipping for a Sakura Figma, and over $80+shipping for a fucking Renamon statue.
>>84455115
Yeah, but those were probably good quality, or pretty good at least.
>>84445646
>>84445669
These are 80$ and look like fucking Burgerking happy meal toys
>tfw still haven't been able to buy this
Feels bad man.
>>84455310
This one looks better, paintwise, but it still looks cheapy
>>84446455
Especially when they really didn't spend all that much time together.
In ATLA, it was shocking when they were parted.
>>84455310
>>84445646
The faces are all wrong. They both have generic animu face.
Also, Beifong's hair looks like dogshit. There's zero detail, it's just a lump of plastic
>>84446455
>>84445712
Yeah.
I'd probably consider a poster like that if it was the Gaang.
>>84453413
Japan's got a large industry dedicated to making figures, they make a lot of figures, there's a lot of competition, and customers expect quality. So it's little surprise that the quality is much higher.
>>84455115
I buy mostly from Amiami and my recent order of two figures (one of them quite large) was $44 (EMS). I don't know where you live though, maybe shipping to there is more expensive.
>>84457803
Does it upset you that Japan makes better figures?
>>84455310
Didn't they release one with a shitty paint job as wel?
>>84458455
It does upset you? Sorry to hear that. Maybe you'll get over it some day.
>>84458526
>getting baited this hard
holy shit dude, give it up
>>84458592
>H-he was only pretending to be retarded!
Nice damage control.
>>84448801
>>84448754
>the green dude doesn't do anything in these pages
>which means he's probably an earthbender they brought in to move bricks
That's a fucking nice touch
>>84448726
QUICK SOMEONE PHOTOSHOP A CONDOM ONTO KATARA'S HAND
>>84458948
>implying they don't go bareback
'Tis the way of the Tribe
>>84445740
>There something wrong with korra's clothes
Yes, they're still on her body.
>>84449770
one with each on a side
>>84455310
your taste never, ever changes.
Nor should it.
>>84455310
Still find it odd that this was the first figure.
Lin was decent but I'm not sure I'd use her as a measuring stick to gauge a merch lines popularity.
>>84449345
>Hakoda
Fuck yeah. I've missed that guy.
>>84445669
Shes way too black in the figure.
