Live "Avatar" Action Figure at Sundance Film Festival
This past week I attended the Sundance Film Festival in Park City to get away from the toy industry for a few days and to catch up with friends from my previous life in the entertainment industry. But it seems that, even on top of a mountain in Utah, the world of toys was still able to find me.
On a short shuttle ride to a screening of the documentary, "Waste Land" (excellent, by the way), I struck up a conversation with a group of people from Los Angeles, one of whom was an actor named Sean Moran. His friends informed me that Sean not only plays Private Fike in the mega-successful film, "Avatar," but his likeness was also made into one of the action figures for the film. (They apparently even incorporated Sean's own tattoos onto the action figure as well.) It didn't occur to me to interview Sean about the process until after I was already in the screening (Sorry -- I was on vacation, remember?) but I'll try to contact him and ask him about the experience of becoming an action figure. Stay tuned. -- E. Christian Moore.

So what compensation did they pay the tattoo artist, for having his or her designs and art placed on an action figure?

You haven't really arrived until you've been turned into a LEGO figure. :)

Action figures are for children;
A Pandora simulation in Second life, now... :)

I loved the movie. I saw it 2 times in 3D. It is really cool. The Avatar Action Figures are awesome as well. It had to be really cool that you are the model for an action figure. I could be Hulk Hogan.

Swing open the door, and behold a tableau that perfectly captures the tween aesthetic. The polka-dot chandelier. The zebra-print wallpaper. The lime green shag rug that pulls the look together — without being too matchy-matchy, as a pre-tween might have it. http://www.mtsconverter.fr
But you can’t go in because the door doesn’t lead to a room. It leads to a locker. Specifically, Nola Storey’s locker at Rye Middle School in a New York suburb. http://www.mtsconverter.fr/mts-converter-for-mac.htm
