To make a loooong story short, after a lot of digging/letter writing/proposal composition, I was contacted by Manuel Torres, previously Senior Vice President, NVCP Latin America, now Viacom's Senior Vice President, Toys, Interactive and Consumer Electronics.
Yesterday we had a half-an-hour conversation about how Avatar products can be made to suit more of its viewers. This includes products for teens, adults, and (finally getting to the topic of this poll) both men AND women.
He seemed surprised by my belief that at LEAST a 50/50 ratio of men to women viewers exists for this show (particularly for teens/adults). This made me curious as to exactly what the ratio might be in reality. If you could take the time to answer this poll, it might give me some figures to use when I have the opportunity to talk to the Marketing Team!!
((OR just let me know if there's something you'd like me to convey to them....I'm already planning on discussing soundtracks, art books, potential manga series, animation cells...etc...))

If you could make a soundtrack happen, I would be forever grateful.

Yes. Soundtrack is good. The older demographic of Avatar, at least those active online, is probably 50/50 gender wise, maybe even more on the female side. But then there's the whole younger demographic, which I doubt shares the same proportions. But that's just my 2 cents, not backed by studies or whatever.  |

The only thing I'm particularly interested in is a soundtrack. Not that I have any money at the moment, but still.

I agree with night...soundtrack and art book... Some highly detailed sculptures ala Bowen Designs would be nice... |

I'm all for a soundtrack and an art book. =D ^ Absolutely. But only if it's high-quality. Any half-assed knockoffs just to make a quick buck will only tick us off. |

I do think that there are going to be a bit more girls then boys, though. Other than that, SOUNDTRACK, as the others have stated...... and that should not be half-assed with only the title music and little tid-bits..... it should have everything from the first zuko battle music to the epic music during the finale.
I also would like to see some continuing universe stuff, maybe a novel for teens...... but that may be asking to much.
Hmm..... I have been talking with some of my Avatar buddies, and something we would be interested in is a in-depth look at the bending and martial arts/eastern culture.

Soundtrack, always. I like the idea of a manga/comic series. Since it doesn't seem like they're going to do anything with Iroh's story, it might be a good idea to make it into a book. I really want to know his story.

We are getting comics...in Nick Mag...which probably won't be the type of comics most of us would like to see. Personally I'm quite happy to see the story end where is ended...
Oh...and I would like to see some non-Season One action figures...and some representative of the characters that don't possess a Y chromosome...

Replicas of stuff like Katara's necklace, the Blue Spirit Mask and Toph's headband for those of us who aren't talented enough to make them.
Posters that aren't made with the clip art they use on everything, stuff like the season box set covers.
And more Lego sets. ^^

An artbook and a soundtrack would be cool! I also like the manga/comic idea, if they are seriously going for teens/adults, I mean the magazine is cool and all, but for the older fans the magazine is really childish. Yes I know Avatar is a kids show, but I would go much more for a book than a kid's magazine. And yeah, more Lego sets. I have the FN ship and the Air Temple, and I'd love more!!!! They were hard, it took along tome to get them together, but that's what made it fun.  |
