Avatar - NEYTIRI (METKAYINA REEF)!

Avatar: The Way of Water - Neytiri (Metkayina Reef) - McFarlane Toys 2022

Avatar: The Water of Water is in theatres right now but I waited too long to order tickets and everything is sold out until next Wednesday night. So in the meantime I get to live vicariously though the toys. The general gist I get from the trailers is that we get to meet another community of Na'Vi who live either in (or surrounded by) the sea. When the second wave of Avatar figures was announced, I'll admit I was a little bummed to learn we would be getting a second Neytiri instead of a new character, like Kate Winslet's Ronal for example. But the figure looks different enough in person that I appreciate her anyway. I assume this version of Neytiri represents her look when either visiting or battling the sea-Na'Vi. She's wearing a completely different outfit, her bow is new, and she has a headsculpt that is entirely different (new facial expression and hair). If I didn't know better, I could be convinced it was a new character. Still, I really hope we see future waves. Let's check out Neytiri (Metkayina Reef) below!

























Neytiri comes with a bow (very different than her standard bow), a figure stand, and a dagger.
This version of the figure does not come with alternate hands.




























Neytiri is covered with a pattern of black-light-responsive dots to represent the bioluminescence seen in the film.





















Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Neytiri (Matkayina Reef) with her Standard version.







And here they are with the 2009 Movie Masters figure from Mattel.






Cheers!
