Avatar Figures – Aang, Na’vi & more at Nerdbutiken.se
Background: What is Avatar?
The term Avatar encompasses two major franchises. Firstly, the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender (Nickelodeon), which follows Aang and his friends' journey through the world of elemental bending. Secondly, the film series that began with Avatar (2009) by James Cameron, where we meet the Na’vi people on the planet Pandora. Both have strong fan bases and a rich selection of official Avatar figures.
