Ahaha, sorry for not updating in a while. Theres going to be a new contest coming up soon though, so hold your horses for a while more.Those of you who were mature enough not to immediately run out and buy a Zhao action figure might not know that it comes with fire blasts and a fire nation club thing, which is just wierd. The other water tribe figurines are sort of non-canon as well, and you probably also know that there are no girl figurines yet. Thats a lot of exposition. Anyways, given that you knew all of that you might find this funny...
Love,

lol, the only Avatar action figures (man, how i hate admiting that i have any. it's embarassing) are the Sokka Water tribe one that I go for Christmas and The Zuko one I... also got for Christmas....
Hey, I freaked out for both!!!! A Lot. That loud scream you could scarcely hear on Christmas, that was me.

I can't understand why they don't make girl figurines. I think there are more female ATLA fans than male ones...I'm sure they'd be popular.

I think I might have stumbled across an explanation regarding the war-club thing:

Even so, it makes no sense for a firebender to carry one.

Not to mention, there's a Sokka figure flying around with Teo's glider chair.
Teo: *crawling on the ground exhausted from chasing Sokka* Give... back... *collapses* X_X

XD lol what the hell? Is that a real figurine? Cause thats sort of random.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. [link]
Well as you can see, they don't have Sokka anymore (I gues the toy makers decided to actually WATCH the tv show), still you wonder where Teo is & why he's not in his chair (and no, I doubt Katara & her oasis water had anything to do with it).

Zhao's club is too big for others to handle.
Except me.

I won't say that I wasn't thinking the same thing... :\

When I first saw "toy troubles" and knew it was going to be about Zhao, I sadly had something really different in mind. Which is extra sad because I normally don't think like that XD
Anyway, my Zhao figure next to my computer monitor proudly holds his "fire nation club" or whatever... even if it is weird (it also helps him keep his balance and weigh him down so he doesn't topple while I type XD)

Haha, yeah, I had to stick my Zhao's feet in silly putty to get him to stand the way I wanted XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The figures aren't poseable enough for me to get him to stand the way I wanted XD So he just kinda stands up straight XD Actually, he's a bit hunched over... :\

Hehe, I so want a Zhao figurine. The toy looks darn good.
I also want a Zuko, and play with those "strawberries" that pass for fire fx.

I'm still trying to figure them out... but no matter how you place it, it just doesn't look right for the fire to be completely engulfing the arm of the bender.

haha I'm dorky enough that I knew right away what this was about XD I

Haha, this is awesome! Ah, and I know just what you mean. I have spent many a moment puzzling over that bizarro war club. I guess it would look pretty imposing if Zhao set it on fire before clubbing people with it.
I wish there were girl toys!
Ooh, and I eagerly await the new contest.

I've seen the weird club thing that comes with the Zhao figure. I'd say it's even a bit ridiculously bigger than you showed here.
The Roku figure has something similar. Some kind of huge earth club thing.

Oh yeah, your icon is so cute!

Yeah, clubs are so not Zhao's style. Maybe a dagger for all the damn backstabbing :B

Zhao is muc too dignified to use a war club.
Running around and screaming is more his gig.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They should make a little momo that fits onto his face, that'd be much more accurate XD

EXACTLY
It's hilarious how the toy peoples are trying to make several odd variations of the same male characters over and over, while people just want their Katara, Toph and Azula kickass female action figures : O
I love the fluid quickness of how you draw the characters too btw.
WIN and love.

Seriously... after five aangs they all start to run together. Also I don't like how the blasts look like giant blobs, I don't really get how they're supposed to work :B

Oh, but this will never stop me from collecting. XP Still, it's cool to see people are noticing things like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I noticed that you have hella figures XD I only have my Zhao, then again, thats the only one I wanted!

Ohhhhh this took me a while to understand
Those toy-things were probably just one of those 'get money quick' scams...
Personally I'd think they'd get enough just for selling the DVDs which I want oh-so-badlyyyy
Contest?? Oooh I'm going to try this one!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't wait till the series is over and they release some sort of mega ultimate dvd collection or something XD
As for the contest, it will be announced via journal sometime soon!

While I hate thinking of the series ending I do have to agree . . .I shall get those DVD's
I look forward to it!

Yeah, that war club thing is just weird. And "earthbending" Aang just looks like he's covered in poo.
Great comic regarding a tragic situation.

Well.. theres no way to know that earthbending Aang isn't actually covered in poo
