Just got back from seeing the movie "Avatar" and I have to ask, is anyone making or plan to make any of the harware from the film? This would include the Battle Walker, the ersatz helicopter, the shuttle and the, well the flying fortress for want of a better term. Figures? That movie was GREAT!

Judging by the trouble Airfix had with BBC Enterprises over their first foray into the realms of Dr. Who models, it could be upto a year before anything comes to light.
I'll just have to keep looking; I'm not really up to accurizing any more Mattel toys. I really liked that attack choppers; Mattel calls them Scorpions. The walkers were great too.
Nothing but the action figure stuff so far.
I shop here all the time. Here is what is out so far.

That's I'd forgotten about this one!

It was shown as part of the BBC Money Programme documentary series about Airfix's resurrection and one of the main strands in the programme was where Airfix wanted to get the latest Tardis and Dr. Who team onto the shelves for Christmas and the model for Agye Freeman's character was not deemed as being correct enough especially the hair. The hair was adjusted by the model makers and sent back to the BBC for checking and it was months before they got back to Airfix while Christmas came and went, etc...
I've got the documentary archived onto DVD somewhere.
OK, thanks.
