Avatar Na'vi Thanator Creature Top Quality

I just saw Avatar a few weeks ago, and after the chase scene with this thing and Jake (first 25 minutes or so of the movie) the Thanator immediately became my favorite creature of the movie apart from the mountain banshees and the Leop..whats its face. But one thing that made the Thanator my favorite apart from every other creature was how violent it was. Once this thing started it didn't stop. So this is what drove me into buying it.

Now the figure itself, while looking like it popped right out of the movie, it did have some flaws I found were worth mentioning. First, as you will know, the figure is unassembled so your task is to put it together. It comes in 10 pieces; torso, head, neck, tail, and 6 legs. The head, neck, & torse seemed to go together smoothly, the tail requires a little pressure to snap on completely so that I didn't mind. A very minor flaw I had was while it could open, the jaw barely extends, but this is very minor. The biggest issue I had with the assembly of this figure was the legs. Now granted I've put together many things in my collection so I thought this would be cake. Boy was I wrong. I don't know about everyone else who owns this, but it seemed like no matter how much pressure I applied to this the legs would not snap in. So after several failed attempts to get these legs in, I finally decided to glue them on, which kills the articulated points but it saved me frustration. Despite all of this it does look great when it is assembled. Though I wouldn't treat this piece as a play toy nor would I recommend this for a 5 year old who is natually violent when it comes to play time. This is more of a collector's piece rather than something that can be thrown around the house.

Overall 4/5. Assembly is a challenge but looks great when it's all together.Get more detail about Avatar Na'vi Thanator Creature.
