I was overall very impressed with this product. Although the leg broke, it is great for reanacting battle scenes. It arrives unassembled but I did not need the instructions to assemble it so it is very easy to assemble. I am planning to pick up the Thanator so I reanact the battle scene at the end of the movie!
I had barely enough money to purchase the Amp Suit so I could not purchase the figure. I had to use my old Elizabeth Swan figure. I hope this reveiw helps!

I loved this figure. I’ve read a few negative reviews, and I guess it depends on what you buy it for. It probably isn’t the most durable thing in the world, so maybe a particularly hardy child may have a problem. however, for the collector, they look great and I can see that I’m going to get years of pleasure from this, not to mention make a mint in years to come as these objects become rare.
I’m super pleased with my purchase.

Parents, have we got a great toy for your kids!
This one is a real winner! If you’ve seen Avatar, then you know how the intelligent, gentle, kind creatures are slaughtered wholesale by the massive Corporation’s troops. Now you can help your kids prepare for the future by actually pretending they ARE the guys inside the robots that slaughter all these gentle creatures!
Now if you think that isn’t the sort of fun your kids should be having, you might want to ask yourself: what sort of world am I preparing my child for? If s/he isn’t ready to follow The Company’s orders and kill who s/he is told to, while inside the giant transformerish robot suit all good modern children dream of wearing, then what sort of future are we really facing?
But hey, if your kid saw this movie and his biggest resultant desire is wanting to be the guys who commit genocide on an entire planet, perhaps your biggest concern isn’t how poorly made this shoddy piece of plastic is.
But then, again…maybe it is.
For the right parent, with the right kid, this toy is perfect.
But for those adults and children who HAVE actually seen this movie, please join me in wondering: who the heck came up with the idea for this toy? The same guy who was fired from his last firm for his strangely failed laughing, smiling Stalin doll?
And we wonder why our world is the way it is…
I fully understand the concept of good guys and bad guys, but this toy ain’t presented as a bad guy by Mattelistan; read the description on the toy page, that begins:
“James Cameron’s Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit: It’s the ultimate in gritty combat action and adventure! Official Name: MK-6 Armored Mobility Platform. Function: Ambulatory hydraulic armored weapons platform for military and civilian operations in hostile and toxic environments.”
“Civilian operations”? I think they mean, “killing civilians”. It’s like describing the Death Star as, “a planet-sized command center with all the weapons you’ll need to take care of whatever insurgenices might arise!”
Many may disagree, but I think toys like this are the logical precursor to our having military bases in most every country in the world, and spending more on our weapons and guns than all other nations on the planet combined. We sell our kids on guns and violence and death almost as soon as they leave the womb, so they’ll be used to our military-industrial complex and won’t make waves when a huge portion of our national budget is spent on guns and bombs, money that could be spent on the childrens’ health care we don’t have, and paying teachers a decent wage, and in general taking care of Americans instead of wandering the world dropping bombs on anyone we decide is the bad guy.
I don’t see many toy reviews making that connection, a connection I truly believe in. We are a war-like nation because we teach that war is normal, and even fun. Played a video game lately? Nearly all of them are brutal first-person shooters. This is what we give our kids now. It’s a long way from playing cowboy in the backyard.
Our worship of guns is a learned response, and this sort of toy is part of how we’re taught. But of course, I may be wrong. Maybe we just need more and bigger guns, and then finally the world will learn to live as we want them to.
Strange how Avatar’s anti-corporate, anti-violent message produces this toy, with this description. And maybe very telling.

The AMP suit toy is very fun, especially the missile launcher and knife included, but it should’ve been assembled. The launcher wouldn’t fit in the left hand of mine, and the “shoulder” parts kept coming loose. Worth the value, but it could use some tighter construction.

I bought this for my son after seeing the movie. I was afraid of the quality because the packaging did not have windows and I would have to put it together. Not to worry. The assembly was not hard and it looks just like the picture on the box. The only con is the legs keep coming off. My son got to where he was playing without the legs on because of that. I solved that by putting a thin, long piece of grey duct tape around the top of the legs (wrap it around the whole body and both legs at least 2 times). It still has movement when you do this. He was very happy I came up with this idea instead of super glue. The gun is loose in his hand and the knife falls out of the other, but doesn’t seem to bother my son. This is why I only gave it 4 stars.
