Ubisoft reveals Avatar: The Game Limited Edition photo

Ubisoft has revealed that its game based on the movie James Cameron's Avatar is getting its very own limited edition this holiday.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will come with a 6-inch action figure of Jake Sully, the game's lead, complete with detachable backback and rifle. A toy, not a real rifle. The Wii-inclined will get a 4-inch figure of the Na'vi Warrior Tsu'Tey. The Wii gets shafted again... by two inches.

Both toys are designed by Mattel, and I'm no toy expert like the folks at Tomopop but, uh... they don't look that great. I also have no frame of reference as to what either of these toys are, really, as I haven't seen Avatar because it hasn't hit theaters yet. I mean, what the hell is a Na'vi Warrior, and am I supposed to be excited about it?

We saw the game (in 3D!) at PAX earlier this month, and it looked like a decent game -- somewhere between Gears of War and Devil May Cry. Hey, that does sound kind of awesome now that I just wrote it. I'm just not so sure about these action figures.

I hope the film and game turn out well. I love James Cameron, but I'm worried Avatar is getting way overhyped.

Ha! Those are the actual figures? They look so numpty I thought it was something comedy you knocked up.

Now I may be a glass empty kind of guy, but I really do think avatar is going to blow. On all mediums and across all formats and in all dimensions.

I'm clearly going to be missing out big time by not getting the limited edition of that game.
Or the game.

It's a game and movie universe about 15 years too late. It seems too much like a relic of the past, where everyone imagined alien worlds as neon colored filled places with humanoid creatures multicolored. Now it just comes across as something that has too many colors and the fact that he keeps pushing that it has been in waiting for a long time just doesn't help.

Those may be the ugliest pre-order items of all time.

They look like Smurfs on steroids. Pretty weak LE bonus. Avatar is just meh to me.

"...somewhere between Gears of War and Devil May Cry"??? If that's accurate, then this might actually end up being good. But honestly it doesn't look the least bit impressive to me from what I've seen.

it's not that they don't look that great- it's that they look like a pile of ass
