SDCC Shows Us Avatar’s Korra, and A New Friend

by Susana Polo | 3:16 pm, July 22nd, 2011


How do you replace a giant, fuzzy air bison? With a giant, fuzzy polar dog.

Yip yip? This one goes WOOF WOOF. (I will stop now.)

Legend of Korra starts in 2012? TOO FAR.

    I am so excited for Korra!! Not to mention: POLAR DOG!

    I was skeptical about watching Avatar. Then my friend said, “There is a giant flying six-legged sky bison.” Then I watched the whole series in about 2 weeks. MORE AWESOME ANIMALS, PLEASE.

    I hope that we see more of that SUPER AMAZING armadillo lion!

    Really? Platypus-bear? That’s why you watched the show?

    That art looks fantastic compared to the original series. Just a promotional image, I take it? Not representative of the new look?

    Obviously not. Turtleducks all the Way! The Firelord agrees :P

    What’s wrong with the art from the original series? It was pretty damn awesome imo.

    And will we finally be getting decent female action figures???

  • Nick Gaston

    Ha! Good luck…they’ll be running variant costumes of supporting characters before they put out female Korra figures, including Korra herself. Hell, fifty quatloos says they’ll make figures of dead characters first—probably dead characters as corpses.

    Holy Molossus!

    We BETTER! Fans were hacked off enough when Mattel never released any Katara or Azula action figures.

    They’ll miss out BIG TIME if they don’t release Korra action figures!

    Hopefully, but sadly experience says they hate women more than they like money.

    No Tophs either! I would’ve loved to have a Toph to sit on my desk, being awesome.

    Polar BEAR dog at that. Not only can she ride it, it can crush your skull with its jaws. People respect that. :-)

    OH I am so looking forward to this!!! And yes the flying bison was great! I wanted to pet one soooo bad!!! 

  • nmlop

    Platypus-bear? What? Am I missing a joke?

    As much as I love platypus-bears, I meant I *started* watching because of Appa. I kept watching because the show is AWESOME.

    Beautiful art. Terrible pun.

    Right, can’t forget Toph! Even if Mattel did.

    Are you reading hits, Mattel?
