Here’s a look at Norm and Jake in his Avatar form, which has orange V-warpaint on his face. Really hope to see this wheelchair in a lot more sets outside of Avatar. The original LEGO wheelchair was a little too wide, and the design was a bit of an accessibility oversight, but the fact that this has been rectified like this is good news. The most important thing about the wheelchair is that it is now finally compatible with standard LEGO 4-studwide doors, which means that you can actually push it through standard LEGO doorways. Here’s another look at the wheelchair sans minifigures on them. Here’s a comparison with the older LEGO wheelchair model. The wheels of the wheelchair are also new, and utilise a regular Technic pin as a connection. The most notable thing about Jake Sully is the introduction of a brand new LEGO Wheelchair which is a really innovative piece.įor disability advocates, the new wheelchair is bound to be good news as there are some really clever features built into it – namely how the minifigure’s hands are perfectly positioned to grip the wheels. Here’s a look at Jake Sully and Norm’s back printing – Jake has a regular face without an oxygen mask as a dual-sided head. Jake is in a regular grey tank top, but I like the silhouette of the Samson helicopter printed on it, which at first glance, I thought was a sweat patch! It’s a good sign that LEGO can do more with these long legs outside of regular Na’Vi minifigures. Most interestingly, his long Avatar legs comes in dark tan, which is exclusive to this minifigure. Norm’s Avatar is notable because he’s the only Na’Vi with proper human clothes on, wearing a tan jacket over a dark brown shirt, and sporting a sling bag as well. First, we have the human minifigure version of Jake Sully, and Norm Spellman in his Avatar form. The set comes with 5 minifigures, a pretty high number for the LEGO Avatar theme. It really helps make the builds less jarring, especially if you’re unfamiliar with what you’ve just built, and I hope the Instruction Designers continue with this beyond the Avatar theme. I really enjoy this new thing where there are reference images included during the build, which are great to establish what you’ve just built. Here’s a look at the instruction manuals. Here’s a look at the sticker sheet – not an exorbitant number of stickers and just the right amount you’d expect from a play set at this size.

AMP Suit Quaritch, this set revolves around an RDA Samson helicopter, mobile link station, and of course, some components of Pandora as well as an all-new Direhorse animal, which means it has some good diversity of stuff going on.
