It seems like you should be able to download something so you could keep it. Or put the models in a standard 3D format you could download

Oh, and keep in mind that Comm-Tech chips were actual chips and that they still work after all these years.

The iTags are just plastic plates that rely on simple pattern recognition to do their magic. I guess what irks me is that the second Mattel decides to stop online support for the line, you’ll actually lose access to the gimmick, which would amount to a big red F-U from Mattel.

At the 1:18 scale, the really attractive items are the vehicles and creatures, even moreso than the figures themselves. So far I’ve only seen the Na’vi characters and I would say that, as a group, I find them quite fetching, with the Jake character being the least adorned of them, as most others have more detailed attires.

I really wonder how much the action figure buying crowd is going to go for these. They are more like true action figures, than collectibles. That seems a little young for the film’s target audience.

The base seems even more gimmicky than the Com-Tech chips were.
