Description My pal zvko asked me to post this picture. It was taken in January, and it only represents about a third of my collection. I wish I was exaggerating...

What is not shown...well, I can't begin to list that right now...For one, I would feel like I was bragging (which I am not)...and two...I am supposed to be doing a ton of other things right now...(like editing my Con Report for Avatarspirit.net) For some of the items that I have you can check out the shops at Mall of America [link]



I have quite a few posters both signed, and unsigned. I really wish I had the Appa poster from last year's scavenger hunt...but I haven't found one in collectible condition yet.

I also have too many t-shirts to count. As you can see, I have the Katara T Shirt that was offered on Nick.com. It does indeed fit me, but I won't wear it. I want to keep it perfect [link]

Also, since they first premiered, I have had in my possession over 55 Appa plushes. Some I gave away, some I auctioned, some of them found homes with Avatar staff, and some are still in my closet (shhhh)

As for the cards...I only have the one box set, but then I have 55 booster packages...unopened. I also have tons of the party favors, cups and canteens, and various other odds and ends.

I own all the Manga by Tokyopop [link] and Simon Schuster [link] id=515758 books. I have 4 copies of the coloring books[link] Three copies of the first Avatar Magazine [link] 3 copies of the "How to Draw Avatar" book [link]
by Walter Foster.
Right now I am in the process of ordering merchandise from Europe..that I can't find (or isn't offered here)

As many of you already know...Mattel dropped the Action Figure line. I was eagerly waiting for the Rock Hand Aang (not to mention a Katara or Toph figure!!!) Now, it looks like I will spend my time writing letters to Mattel (nice letters asking, "WHY") and hoping that Nickelodeon finds another company to create action figures, and represent this series the way it should be

As fans, please...try to support the show if you can. Please buy the merchandise. Please support the magazine! The more we buy, the more they will make...

...I can't do the buying for all of us Well, not always at least....

There ya go zvko

Gah. I am incredibly jealous.

Where do you keep all this stuff? Right there in your living room? If so, you are the coolest mom ever!

Oh don't be jealous Feel sorry for my hubby who used to have to share his closet with them all

When my collection was small, I displayed them on my dresser...then it grew too large for the top of my dresser, and I moved it into my dinning room. That was not always appropriate for when we had dinner guests...so, I put them in my closet.

Then this photo happened.

My hubby bet me that I had more than I thought I did...well, I had to prove him wrong...So I started pulling them out, and arranging them on our piano (since I was bringing them all out, I thought it would be a good time to take a picture) Soon there wasn't any room on the piano anymore, or the floor around it. I gave up trying to add all of them to this picture, and snapped a few photos.

My hubby won the bet, and I moved the whole collection (except for the clothing and posters) into my brother's closet on the second floor. He had just moved out, and his closet was now empty The best part...the closet is huge, so now I can get even more toys to fill it up...LOL

OH, and thank you for saying I am the coolest mom ever...LOL..I bet your mom is pretty awesome too!

Holly crud! (can't say the other word. I'm a good girl lol XD )

But for reals! Dang! *speachless* X100 for you!

Wow! There are many things I didn't even know they had! It feels like I got shot in the head. lol

I still haven't got an Appa or Momo plushie. Lokotei was going to get me both intime for the con but she forgot (I forgive her )

*sigh* All the things I would never have...@_@

...well...if you have a Wal Mart or Toys R Us near by, the action figures are on closeout. Scoop them up while you can. Also, nick.com is still selling the 16 inch Appa plush[link] arentPage=search and 11 inch Momo [link] and [link] arentPage=search. They have sold out of just about all the other sizes though. I am sure you know all about the original Appa plushes, and where to call to mail order them: [link]

Thanks for all the links and info!

I need to take an updated pic of my collection so far.

Not wear the Katara shirt? I'd be wearing mine almost every day! Is that Roku's dragon I see? Holy Avatar fishpaste, you are DEDICATED.

Ethereal-Glutton In reply to Selofain [2007-08-28 06:12:29 +0000 UTC]

I know I know...I get tempted to wear the shirt all the time...then I think about how they haven't offered it on Nick.com in awhile...and if I spilled tea on it (which is a very likely scenario...) I couldn't replace it. That's when I immediately put it back into it's plastic...

If they offer the shirt again, I am soo nabbing one that I can wear all the time..every day! Must support Katara!

WOW! Beautiful collection! I don't know that so much figures are available for Avatar!
I've never been able to keep all the box for any of my collections, I always open them to play with the figures

Ethereal-Glutton In reply to BanishedPrince [2007-08-28 06:08:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!


I do indeed have figures that are not in their packaging. They often find their way into my car...or in my garden...Sometimes...my other action figures get jealous of my Avatar toys...and try to disguise themselves as the Avatar Action Figures...hehehehe

BanishedPrince In reply to Ethereal-Glutton [2007-08-28 21:41:09 +0000 UTC]

LOL excellent!
I only have one Zuko figure and it's the same than yours. We have less Avatar related products in France than in the USA.
And...maybe you can help me to obtain one product, impossible to find here...
I'm interested to buy a Zuko plush, but they don't send this product internationaly...
I need to know someone who can receive the parcel in the USA then send it to me. I'll pay for all.

Can you help me for this?

The nice thing about really truly being a Momma is.....you can open the 3 sets you bought for your children, and play with them...while you keep all your boxed ones on the shelf

Yes! I heard that most of the Cedar Entertainment Parks will have the Nickelodeon Merchandise. I am beginning to secretly wish that my local amusement park (Six Flags Great America) was a part of the franchise.

Hahaha, we used to have a six flags near us...but it's a Geogea (sp) Lake now

It was kinda sad though...My sisters and I were the only ones carrying around Appa and Momo...no one else wanted em...they wanted the big basketballs >< Appa and Momo need some more loving!
