Like just about everything these days, Sideshow Collectibles is making some high-end Avatar merchandise, and they revealed this maquette of the movie’s AMP Suit. this thing is due next year, stands 30-inches tall, and is a whopping $1200, so let’s not pretend any of us will be purchasing one. I only bring it up because it’s a better look at the Avatar mechs, which continue to look nice but not mind-blowing. And I don’t know who the dude is, since he doesn’t appear to be Sam Worthington. Check out some more pics over at ToyNewsI.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
