Mattel has released some photos of the toys for James Cameron’s Avatar, and I couldn’t help but notice this one:
I liked this ship the first time I saw it…in Aliens twenty years ago. Zing!
Ha ha! But in all seriousness, folks, James Cameron has been sapped of all imagination.

I managed to get a look at these toys at PAX and the figures are very much not good. I posted some pics of the toys – http://www.battlegrip.com/?p=5806

I thought it looked like a much larger version of the Hornet from Halo 3, but what do I know, I'm just a stupid little video game fan :3

Original or not looks like the gem from this line IMO.

I thought everyone loved the Avatar stuff? All I heard was gushing over how great it all looked.

Paul – I agree… there seems to be A LOT of Cameron bashing on the internet these days. Hell, a few years ago everyone was screaming for him to make another film, and now he finally has and everyone (on other sites) seems to be saying it's garbage and unoriginal. I personally remember lots of people saying (at the time) Aliens and Terminator 2 were just going to be the same old thing, and look how they turned out!
It really annoys me… what's he ever done wrong? He's given us some of the best Sci-fi in the past 25 years! I love the man!!! His films do have an incredible WOW factor, and he's always pushing the envelope technology-wise.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt… as far as I'm concerned he's more than earned it!
