Mall of America Merchandise

Journal Entry: Fri May 16, 2008, 9:49 AM

Mall of America's indoor theme park has gone through quite a renovation. Over a year ago, many of us discovered that it would be changing to a Nickelodeon Theme. This sent me into a frenzy. I made dozens of phone calls, and was told that eventually they would carry exclusive Avatar merchandise, and they would have the coveted Avatar plush toys that many of us had a hard time locating!

This was awesome news considering the Avatar brand hasn't done too well in the toy department. Since the action figures had been discontinued, it was rumored the plush toys would also become obsolete. This made finding the plush toys impossible a few years back, unless you turned to Ebay and the like. You can imagine my excitement at the thought of every fan having the ability to simply go online, and purchase these plush toys with just a click of their mouse.

I kept checking the Mall of America online shop as the Nickelodeon Park came closer to completion, and as promised, small Avatar items (as well as other Nickelodeon characters) began to trickle into their online catalog. New T shirt designs, travel mugs, awesome hoodies, and small affordable collectibles that appeal to all ages finally saw the light of day. Definitely a breath of fresh air for the Avatar fans!

If you have had trouble finding the plush toys in the past, or the Paramount Theme parks have stopped taking your calls for mail order, please support the merchandise from Mall of America. Shop there before Ebay. After all...they are the ones that can order more from their suppliers, and request new designs and merchandise. Heck, they may even cause other companies to look into licensing Avatar merchandise. If you are a collector like I am, just the thought of more Avatar merchandise probably has you making room on your shelves in anticipation :XD:

Also, I am still supporting Bryan Konietzko's remix of Radiohead's Nude. Give it a listen...if you like it, consider voting. I would love to see his votes increase everytime I log on to check it :w00t:

Omg! Amen to that!!!!

Hopefully the toyline launched for the live action movies will be handled differently (and will include the female figures)


Peace!

I know what you mean. Why show US the animation if we can't show everybody else??? Silly technicalities. ;)

Oh I am sooo bummed. It only shows a part of the animation :(

At the beginning of the animation, she squats down, then pulls her katana off her back. She then does this cool acrobatic jump...and then runs off with the blade in a combat position, then ends in the position you see in the webcam.

I need to find out a way to host the animation so the entire thing plays...

Meh..it's probably a MEEZ problem.

Those are really good ideas BP. If I have the time, maybe a transparent background, with a "glowing" arrow. Or perhaps I could animate her eyes so that they blink...oi. I wish I had time :D

There is a forum dedicaded to complaints...But like the description says:
"Complain about anything that you feel the need to, just do not expect things to change!"
:D so it's more a shout it out forum than anything else. [link]

You can still make your icon different, with a transparent background and save it as a .gif so you'll have only the Hello Kitty head with no white background around.
Otherwise, it can also be animated.
It won't prevent theifs to stole it again... but at least yours will be different as long as they won't try to.

So, I sent a message to this member...asking that they create their own Hello Kitty Avatar icon, instead of using mine...and I have not heard anything from her yet...

oh well :P
