Why no Avatar (James Cameron) Pops?
I am surprised that there have yet to be any Pops made from James Cameron’s Avatar. It’s still one of the most successful movies in box office history and after over a decade, a sequel will be coming out this December.
Why do you think Pops for this movie have yet to happen?

Maybe a license issue? It is pretty strange that it hasnt happened yet.

I'm really hoping we will get some with the new movie. Lego is actually making Avatar sets, so I'm hoping this means doors are opening!

Re: Avatar (James Cameron) Pops
The movie would make great pops, pop towns and pop rides. The colors could come off great. I think though it might be a license problem.

Could be but now it’s a Disney property! So maybe the sequel will be different.
There were a few toys around the time of the original release but not much. I would have thought with the land at WDW/Animal Kingdom that we would have seen Pops by now.

Now that Avatar is owned by Disney, it's probably a lock we get Pops for the sequels. I know Lego is also finally doing some Avatar sets, I think Disney is opening up the merchandising.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

because James is too up his own butt thinking his movies can save the world from pollution, can't have thousands of vinyl figures clogging our oceans!

That was my first thought. Now that Disney has it, seems likely pops for the new movies

I think so too. I’m not sure why but Avatar is one of the highest grossing movies in history but doesn’t have a firm place in pop culture.

Great point. Maybe we will get some with the new movies?

Hottoys made some figures for Avatar back in the day but I'd kill for some pops of all the creatures and Jake Sully. I'd even settle for pops from the Avatar world in Animal Kingdom.
Avatar is one of my favorite movies and I'm been waiting for what seems like a lifetime for the sequel. Cannot wait for December!

I am excited for the sequel too! The first movie holds a special place in my heart because it was the last movie I saw before my daughter was born. She’s going to be 13 the day after Christmas this year. She (kinda) saw the first one in utero and she’ll definitely see the sequel in the theater this December.

They could really make some amazing BL pops with all the colors that are in the movie.

Agreed - Pops for the two sequels are likely marketing plans.
But do we need multiple blue people Pops?

That's what I'm thinking. No way Disney let's this opportunity pass by.

Personally, I think it'll happen! Disney/Avatar had so many licensed products and toys when the last movie came out, I feel like there's no way it doesn't!

Maybe it's a design issue. I mean the na'vi are tall this creatures maybe that just doesn't translate to a normal size pop

A Na’vi on a Banshee ride has to happen. It could even be a Disney Parks exclusive! Just as long as it’s available online too.

I'd be down for that, been a couple months since I spent a full Disney day in line so I am due for another soon . Plus at least Pandora is one of the shadier areas of Animal Kingdom, but it is hotter there....

Should finally see some avatar pops then, I couldn't see them not making some. Apart from the company being very limiting to license out merchandise.
