Avatar fans rejoice, the Avatar movie toys are in Singapore!
What I really mean is that the Avatar movie toys have appeared at one of the major mass retail stores here in Singapore! Previously, only certain local collectors’ toys shops were selling them since the Avatar movie was screened in the cinemas here about 3 months ago.
The above Avatar movie toys were spotted at “the biggest toy store there is”, the one where “I don’t want to grow up”. The outlet is in Orchard Road, inside the building that faces a pair of massive Chinese Stone Lions sitting opposite. Its other less accessible outlet along Orchard Road doesn’t have them, as of today.
No other departmental stores along Orchard Road, Chinatown or Bugis area have any Avatar movie toys, as of today.
The 6 inch Avatar Movie Masters action figures cost SGD 29.95 each while the Avatar Interactive Battle Pack Set with 3.75 inch Avatar Jake Sully are at SGD 34.95 each.
The medium sized Avatar vehicles like RDA Grinder and AMP Suit (version 2) cost SGD 49.95 each.
The large Avatar Creatures like the Leonopteryx figure and the large Scorpion Gunship vehicle toy are at SGD 59.95 each.
No other Avatar movie toys were seen there. They must have either been sold out or they did not come yet.
Judging from the looks of the half empty shelves above, the sales of the toys look rather good. Or perhaps only limited stocks came.
Nonetheless, if you are keen to add these Avatar movie toys to your collections, you might want to start checking the departmental stores nearest your homes soon! Happy Avatar toys collecting!

I got my AMP from mattycollector.com. Cheaper counting postage)if u buy more stuff (cheaper postage. THe AMP is actually veyry nice. Will review soon!
Hi Little Plastic Man,
Cool! How much was yours? Looking forward to seeing that toy review
Yes the AMP seems like a popular choice.
USD 20 plus shipping. As I got more stuff from matty, the postage came to about USD 5 per item (postage divided equally) So that’s about SS35. If you just buy 1 item, it will be around S$43, which is not worth it as you have to wait 1 mth plus the fear of it not reaching you…:)
Hi LEon,
Yeah, nearly everyone who sees it likes it
Hi Little Plastic Man,
Hmmm, it sounds more worth it to bring in more items in the same shipment. Is the shippping from that online toy store really that unreliable?
I’ve heard stories from other local toy collectors that some shipments never arrived and were untraceable. I think the store is new to international shipping.
2-3 weeks is the normal air shipping duration from the US to Singapore. 1 month by air shipping is too long…
AMP good for GI Joe figures.
Hi Hippo,
A lot of toy collectors online say so too!
