There are a couple of exciting updates I wanted to share with everyone!
The first is that we seem to have gotten our first look at the akula, a name revealed way back when Pandora: The World of Avatar opened at Disney. Some really cool looking toys are coming out from a company called McFarlane Toys, and their posts here and here reveals an akula! It looks very much like a nalutsa, but there are some key differences. The akula is also known to be larger than the nalutsa, so I truly can't wait to see it on the big screen!
Additionally, McFarlane Toys also revealed in this post that the creature Jake rides in the Avatar 2 trailer is called a Skimwing-- very appropriately named! The Na'vi name for this animal, tsurak, has been printed on a revealed page from the second book I'm going to talk about today.
Speaking of McFarlane Toys, they're coming out with some AMAZING figures! You can view them all here at their store page!!!
I have to confess I am most excited about the reef with Ronal and Tonowari, and the ilu figure with Neteyam!
BOOKS
Now for the books! The first is another art book, "The Art of Avatar The Way of Water" by Tara Bennett. The cover art alone is amazing, isn't it?!
You can pre-order it here on Penguin Random House or on the links they provide to you for a store you desire. Also, Barnes & Noble is not listed there, but they do have the books on the B&N website, too!
The other book slated to drop that day is a DK book called "Avatar: The Way of Water - The Visual Dictionary" by Joshue Izzo. As above, it's also available for pre-order on Penguin and multiple other places.
Both books come out the same day as the movie -- December 16th!
I have already pre-ordered my copies, and hope everyone who wants the books gets them as soon as possible!
