Ah! I check this thread every few days or so, and the Zuko reveal just blew me away! This is amazing! I can't wait to see how this comes out. I imagine you're getting some great practice with full body molds too-do's and don't's and the like. Anyway, I hope you're having fun with this too, because I get great enjoyment out of seeing what you've come up with.
Have fun!

Yeah, you know places like Borders Books and Music require that you take an in depth test to see if you have knowledge of literature both past and present to make sure you know abou the product you're helping customers find. I suppose Toy stores aren't as prestigious. Anywhoo... I wanted to save the big reveal of Zuko's head for later but since I haven't had the time to work on the project in a while, and I hate to have a whole page of this thread go by without some significant post, I shall give you some pics... ... ... ... Now.When I started off the first mold I made of Zuko's head, it didn't cure right and it created a freaky, mutant Zuko face. Funny- but annoying when it became obvious I'd have to start over again. The second mold made better casts. Yeah, I can't, it's scary. I love how you're doing this, can't wait to see the finished Zuko

Holy cow, these are awesome! I friggin' adore cactus juice Sokka. And I'm loving tea shop Zuko so far. You're amazing. With that kind of talent...well, you could have just about any action figure you could ever want! This is a concept that just blows my mind.

I could love that face!
As long as its Zuko! I LOVE HIM!!!
*ahem* Everytime you update this, you amaze me. Not only to you cast the faces and alter them as you please, but you actually create completely different outfits and hairstyles. Is there no end to your talent?
Karma for you! ... again.
*crosses fingers and waits for Zuzu*

Okay Next phase... So there I was sweatin' it out wondering how to go about making legs/pants for Zuko when I happened upon a lucky break in the one of my least favorite figures. Turns out Water Tribe Aang has the just the legs I'm looking for at half the amount of work it would take to make totally new ones. So after a session with a dremel cutter, I was able to harvest the needed appendages. Rest in peace Water Tribe Aang. May you find peace in the non-canon alternate universe you hail from. Next on the to-do list is to get the legs to work right in the Sokka waist I'm using for Zuko. Also, since they're Aang's legs, they're a little short. So I might have to cut & extend them a bit. Also, if I recast them, I might just eliminate the joint of the ankle and the shin. It doesn't really move much to start with anyway. It's comin' along bit by bit...

OMG! =O Your doing an awesome job with Zuko! LOL I just got on today cuz my computer was broken! Anyway.... After seeing that second picture im depressed. Water Nation Aang is actually my favorite figure.. lol. The Water Vortex Aang is pointless. They just should have sold the vortex with WNA!

You're right, I'm being too hard on WN Aang. It's all tough love though After all I'll bet anything now that Mattel's got his body structure figured out Master Pakku might not be far behind. I guess I just have a thing against non canon figures--- BUT it could be worse! Had Kenner/Hasbro gotten this license, you'd be seeing "Aang with Big-Honkin'-Trapeze-Net-Launching-Bazooka-Gun that's three times the size of the Aang himself." Just look at their Batman and Jurassic Park toylines to see what I mean.

HAHA Yeah... lolz! I really want Katara! and Toph! Oh I made this Avatar list today and gave it to my mom cuz she was going X-mas shopping! It said like Katara, Toph, War Paint Sokka, Suki, Zhao, Azula and a whole lotof others. She said she asked the store people but they sisn't know s**t! lol Maybe Mattel reads our little threads about the figures?!

I cant wait to see how ZuZu comes out!!! The Zuko upper part connected to WN Aang's legs is funny cuz the legs are too small for Zuko.. and they're blue.
