I really like these sure they are from the first movie but when the new movie drops hopefully we'll get more creatures and cool mech/vehicles. my only gripe is I feel Col Quartrich should come with the AMP suit as $25 for a 4-5" figure seems a lot

Yes, the 1st Avatar movie did have a 4" and 6" action figure line by Mattel back in 2009. The 4" line also had some vehicles and large creatures. On a side note, there was also a McDonald's Happy Meal toy promo as well.
Can't recall how well it did, but if it was like many movie lines, it show up, maybe sat a bit until it got closer to the movie, probably sold out a bit around and shortly after the movie came out, only to later peg the walls, ending up in discount places.
Can't comment on how the line was in the U.S., but I can add in that when it comes to Mattel action figure lines in Canada, Mattel Canada has a really terribledistribution system. For example, whenever they had a non-media DC Comics line(2003 Batman 6" line, DC Universe Classics, etc.), Wave 1 showed up in huge numbers, while Wave 2 may or may not show up, only for stores to get again when you get to around Wave 4 or 5, then miss a wave or 4 again, then get a wave, only for another wave or 3 to not show up, and so on, and so on.

Am I crazy or is that AMP suit the same exact mold from the first movie? I see that the 2-pack comes with an alternate hand and the gun doesn't have the spring-fire gimmick but still, does re-use like this happen? Or is this really original? It's uncanny if it's completely new
Shown below are more images from the McFarlane Toys booth at this weekends Disney D23 convention. Shown are the newly announced Avatar: World of Pandora Collection figures including the 7" Jake Sully, Neytiri, Colonel Miles Quaritch, Amp Suit, Neytiri's Banshee and Jake Sully's Banshee. Notice the Colonel Miles figure is only about 5" tall to be able to fit in the Amp Suit. Thanks to Juan for getting these to us.You can pre-order these at our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth.

Well that kind of wings it back around and interests me - he'd be pretty close to modern 4" figures. The old Mattel AMP suit with figure was great and one of these is cheaper than one of those on the secondary market. I'll be interested to see a comparison between this figure and normal 4", 6" and 7" figures
57 minutes ago, interoceptive said:Wait a minute - how tall will the Miles figure be? If these are 7" scale then are the alien humanoids 7" and Humans would be smaller? I thought "7 inch scale" generally meant that 7 inches would be the size of an average (heroically average) sized human. Like in the Batman line Batman is 7" while Clayface is much taller. But Clayface is still in the same "7 inch scale". Maybe I've been thinking about it wrong this whole time but if the human figures are smaller then this line may actually be more like 1:14 scale or smaller which would make it kind of oddball.
