Toys and Games Reviews of Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit
Customer Review: Very educational for kids...mercenary work can be fun and profitable!
Summary: 2 Stars
This one is a real winner! If you've seen Avatar, then you know how the intelligent, gentle, kind creatures are slaughtered wholesale by the massive Corporation's troops. Now you can help your kids prepare for the future by actually pretending they ARE the guys inside the robots that slaughter all these gentle creatures!
Now if you think that isn't the sort of fun your kids should be having, you might want to ask yourself: what sort of world am I preparing my child for? If s/he isn't ready to follow The Company's orders and kill who s/he is told to, while inside the giant transformerish robot suit all good modern children dream of wearing, then what sort of future are we really facing?
But hey, if your kid saw this movie and his biggest resultant desire is wanting to be the guys who commit genocide on an entire planet, perhaps your biggest concern isn't how poorly made this shoddy piece of plastic is.
But then, again...maybe it is.
For the right parent, with the right kid, this toy is perfect.
But for those adults and children who HAVE actually seen this movie, please join me in wondering: who the heck came up with the idea for this toy? The same guy who was fired from his last firm for his strangely failed laughing, smiling Stalin doll?
And we wonder why our world is the way it is...
I fully understand the concept of good guys and bad guys, but this toy ain't presented as a bad guy by Mattelistan; read the description on the toy page, that begins:
"James Cameron's Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit: It's the ultimate in gritty combat action and adventure! Official Name: MK-6 Armored Mobility Platform. Function: Ambulatory hydraulic armored weapons platform for military and civilian operations in hostile and toxic environments."
"Civilian operations"? I think they mean, "killing civilians". It's like describing the Death Star as, "a planet-sized command center with all the weapons you'll need to take care of whatever insurgenices might arise!"
Many may disagree, but I think toys like this are the logical precursor to our having military bases in most every country in the world, and spending more on our weapons and guns than all other nations on the planet combined. We sell our kids on guns and violence and death almost as soon as they leave the womb, so they'll be used to our military-industrial complex and won't make waves when a huge portion of our national budget is spent on guns and bombs, money that could be spent on the childrens' health care we don't have, and paying teachers a decent wage, and in general taking care of Americans instead of wandering the world dropping bombs on anyone we decide is the bad guy.
I don't see many toy reviews making that connection, a connection I truly believe in. We are a war-like nation because we teach that war is normal, and even fun. Played a video game lately? Nearly all of them are brutal first-person shooters. This is what we give our kids now. It's a long way from playing cowboy in the backyard.
Our worship of guns is a learned response, and this sort of toy is part of how we're taught. But of course, I may be wrong. Maybe we just need more and bigger guns, and then finally the world will learn to live as we want them to.
Strange how Avatar's anti-corporate, anti-violent message produces this toy, with this description. And maybe very telling.
Description of Avatar RDA Combat Amp Suit
Intended for ages 6+, each Avatar Creature/Vehicle interacts with most 3 ¾â?- 4 ¼â? figures, and is accompanied by a character-specific i-tag. The articulated AMP Suit features a handheld cannon, and seats one figure (not included). In the movie Avatar, the AMP suit measured 13 feet tall and six feet wide; the Mitsubishi MK-6 Armored Mobility Platform was equipped with a hip-mounted and detachable GAU-90 thirty millimeter cannon, an optional flamethrower, slashing blade, and AMP Suit Knife. Maintained by a single human operator via voiceprint pattern-coded verbally-activated commands, the bipedal AMP Suit thrives in various hostile environments and provides its operator with heightened strength. AMP suits were utilized by RDA infantry as guards and patrol units, and participated in the Assault on the Tree of Souls.Accessories Toys
