Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The fiercest and most feared Na'vi creature in all of Pandora comes swooping in, claws poised with an impressive 20-inch wingspan, several points of articulation and the ability to carry any basic Avatar figure on its back. Includes a display stand and an exclusive i-Tag to bring the Leonopteryx to 3-D life. Figures sold separately. Go to www.avataritag.com to activate and unlock the adventure!

Product Description

Boasting a 20-inch wingspan and featuring multiple points of articulation, the Leonopteryx creature figure will seat one action figure (not included). This works with most other 3 3/4" - 4 1/4" figures(sold separately). This figure is accompanied by a character-specific Level 4 webcam i-TAG and a display stand. Not a flying toy. This figure is a highly detailed replica of the creature from James Cameron's 2009 film, Avatar. Measuring 24.4 meters in length with a 20-meter wingspan, the garishly-hued Leonopteryx, is among the most formidable of Pandora's creatures, is a carnivore which primarily feeds upon the likes of Mountain and Forest Banshees. The Leonopteryx is armed with monstrous jaws, a razor-sharp fin, and immense talons. Jake Sully's successful attempt to tame a Great Leonopteryx, earning him the mystic title of Toruk Makto, generates profound reverence among the Na'vi, helping to unite the latter against their human adversaries.

This review is from: Avatar Na'vi Leonopteryx Collectible Figure (Toy)

This Leonopteryx is a beautiful figurine, and I use that term lightly because it has a 20 inch wingspan. It's huge! But then again, it was huge in the movie, and the scale of it matches the Na'vi figures correctly. The coloring is beautiful, looking down on it from above, but the underside is mostly one color. The anatomy is very well detailed as well, but with the lack of other colors on most of the body it leaves a little to be desired. It is a very sturdy model, and the wings can be (with some force required) switched between two positions, however they're somewhat subtle in difference. The tips of the wings are clear, stiff and pointy! You'll put an eye out with this thing if you're not careful. It's a bit difficult to get the Na'vi figurines to 'sit' on the Leonopteryx convincingly, and I don't think if you were 'playing' with it (flying it around) the Na'vi character would stay in place. But I think it's beautiful to look at and makes a stunning addition to the Avatar collection.

This review is from: Avatar Na'vi Leonopteryx Collectible Figure (Toy)

This is a pretty cool creature. the coloring could have been better, I agree, at least brighter. This one was less difficult to assemble, and stays together with no problem. Nice display model, and would hold up to some play, but works better for a display. Not real posable, but it's appearance is great for what it is. I'd primarily recommend it as a display souvenir rather than something to try to use as a toy. Worth buying in my opinion.

This review is from: Avatar Na'vi Leonopteryx Collectible Figure (Toy)

The plastic this toy is made from, is flexible, so less change of breakage. It was easy to put together, for an adult. Some of the parts need some strength, so I don't recommend a child putting it together.

Overall, the detail is nice. The underside is almost devoid of markings though. But the rest of the creature has plenty of detail. The clear stand is a nice way to display it.

Overall, this is not really a toy to "play" with. Its more a model to be admired, but its durable enough to withstand some light play. Though I don't recommend this for young children. I got it for my daughter who is 11 and she isn't one to beat it to death, so its working out just fine.

I just wish the Ne'vi's braids actually connected with the leo like in the movie. But the Ne'vi's hands can hold onto the natural "reins"
