Customer Reviews
Overall is Good
This product consists of a 4 inch Avatar Jake figure and 6 iTags.
About the figure Jake:
Articulation:
Head turns 360 degrees, ball joint shoulders, ball joint elbow, waist turns 360 degrees, legs move back & forth 180 degrees & 90 degrees sideways, knees bend, ankle move up & down slightly; wriest does not turn
Paint job:
Blue strips are printed nicely, but other paint jobs are just ok. For example, my figure has it’s back of the left ear mispainted in black while the right ear is normal; some blue strips is printed onto the hair that hang losely on jake’s forehead.
The eyes are painted black instead of yellow in the movie, but its fine to me. You can feel the tiny Jake’s eyes looking right at you. This is a well done job on the tiny 1mm eyes.
Bio-lume:
This one does bio-lume.
However, only the white spots on the legs are able to ‘lume’. Those spots on the body and the arms are just ordinary white paint.
Another problem is those white spots supposedly on the left foreleg are missing. (These white spots should be symmetrical according to the movie. And the figure’s right foreleg has it, so the left foreleg should have it too)I am not sure if this happens only to my figure or to all figures of the same set. Just a precaution to all.
Overall for the figure:
This figure really does look like Jake, whihc is great. Also, the body build of the figure resemble those of the Avatars, which are more muscular then those of the Na’vi.
Taking into consideration of its reasonable price, I give it a 7 out of 10.
1 taken away because of the white spots missing on the foreleg & the ‘half’ bio-lume (which looks odd when you see only the legs ‘luming’)
1 taken away because the shoulder joints seems mto be lose and fragile
1 taken away when seeing the figure as a member of the whole toy line: the avatar is taller than those RDA human figures, but still, is not quite in scale; the tail and loin cloth kinda preventing the figure from sitting properly on other avatar creatures like direhorse (It sits okay, but the tail could have been able to turn, its not tedious & extra costly for mattel to do so)
About the iTags:
This iTag set of 6 is the only level 5 itags available for purchase right now. As level 5 iTags(higest level yet), these iTags are the only ones that can interact with each other. These interaction of virtual figure is fun to watch, especially in different angles.
However, it could have been better. You can’t control the virtual figures like you do with other Lv 2,3,4 iTags. Kinda funny that lower levels do things that higher level doesn’t, while I really do value the first-hand controlling features.
Also, the colonel’s itag in the set looks almost exactly like the colonel itag that comes with the 3’3 inch colonel(except one is a slightly closer look then the other). It would be much much better if Mattel use a different picture for the two itags!!
Overall for the iTags:
Okay, could have been better(refer to above). But since it’s the first of its kind, I give it a 4 out of 5.
