Year Released
2022 - Debuted in set 75571 Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch, marking the return of long-legged minifigures.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced, it is specific to the Avatar licensed line which had a shorter production shelf-life compared to evergreen themes like Star Wars.
Head
Bright Light Blue base with medium blue Na'vi stripe patterns. Features yellow eyes and a smiling expression. The head piece includes unique molded pointed ears.
Torso
Bright Light Blue with intricate dark blue stripe printing on front and back. Features pectoral muscle definition and a belly button. Light blue arms and hands.
Legs
Extra-long leg piece (Woody-style) in Bright Light Blue. Detailed printing includes a tan/brown loincloth and continuous dark blue Na'vi stripes.
Accessories
Missing in image - originally comes with a Na'vi spear and a Carbon Fiber Bow (dark gray).
Color Scheme
Monochromatic blue palette consisting of Bright Light Blue and Medium/Dark Blue, with earth-tone accents for the loincloth.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. Features 'bio-luminescent' dot patterns within the stripes. Alignment is crucial on these figures due to the long leg surface area.
Variants
Standard version (shown), version with breathing mask (ava015), and military human version (ava002).
Condition Notes
The specialized long legs are prone to loose hip joints. Hair pieces (missing here) often cause stress marks on the neck peg.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New/Equivalent: $10.00 - $12.00 USD. Value is lower without the hairpiece and spear.
Price (New)
Retailed in set 75571 for $44.99 USD, which included two figures and two builds.
Compatible Sets
75571 (Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch) and 75573 (Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson).
Character Background
Jake Sully, the protagonist of James Cameron's Avatar. A disabled Marine who becomes a Na'vi Avatar to infiltrate Pandora.
Design Notes
Reintroduces the 'long legs' mold originally designed for Toy Story's Woody (2010), used here to represent the Na'vi's height advantage over humans.
Similar Minifigures
Neytiri (ava003), Tsu'tey (ava006), and Mo'at (ava010).
Collectibility
Moderate. High appeal for fans of the film franchise, but value is currently capped by wide availability in entry-level sets.
History
Part of the 2022 revival of the Avatar license coinciding with the release of 'The Way of Water', though this figure depicts the 2009 film look.
Interesting Facts
This is one of the few instances where LEGO uses non-standard body proportions for a human-descended character.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a foliage-heavy MOC or stand to stabilize the top-heavy tall legs. Best paired with the Banshee (Ikran) builds.
Modification Potential
The long legs are popular for MOC builders creating taller fantasy characters or customized 'tall' variants of other themes.
Overall Assessment
A solid licensed figure that accurately captures the film's aesthetic. Rating: 7/10. Highly recommended to complete the set, but loses value when missing its unique hairpiece.
