Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender (stylized as LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender) was a Lego theme based on the Nickelodeon television show Avatar: The Last Airbender created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It is licensed from Nickelodeon.[2] The theme was first introduced in June 2006.[3][4] It was eventually discontinued by the end of 2007.

Overview

[edit]

Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender was based on Book One of Avatar. The product line focuses on the journey of one hundred and twelve-year-old Aang, the current Avatar and last survivor of his nation, the Air Nomads, along with his friends Katara and Sokka, as they strive to end the Fire Nation's war against the other nations of the world.[5] Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender aimed to recreate the main characters in Lego form, including Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, Zuko, Firebender and Fire Nation soldier.

Initially, the Nickelodeon featured Lego sets did not only release the two Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender sets. Three Lego SpongeBob SquarePants sets were released at the same time in 2006, both being the flagship product for a newly signed partnership of Lego and Nickelodeon. The Nickelodeon series featured its most iconic shows, which were Avatar, SpongeBob SquarePants and its newest member, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender sets were not a series of their own, but only a theme out of many of the main series which was Nickelodeon.[6]

Development

[edit]

Lego Avatar: The Last Airbender was inspired by the Nickelodeon television show Avatar: The Last Airbender. The construction toy range was based on the Nickelodeon television show and developed in collaboration with Paramount Consumer Products. The construction sets were designed to recreate the story and characters of the Nickelodeon television show in Lego form.[7]

Characters

[edit]
  • Aang: The last surviving Airbender, a monk of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple.[8]
  • Sokka: A fifteen-year-old Sokka is a warrior of the Southern Water Tribe, a nation where some people are able to telekinetically manipulate, or "bend", water.[8]
  • Katara: A fourteen-year-old waterbender (i.e., she has the ability to telekinetically control water and ice); at the beginning of the story, she is the only waterbender in the Southern Water Tribe, one of three known communities in which waterbending is practiced.[8]
  • Momo: A winged Lemur was introduced when Aang finds him at the Southern Air Temple and then keeps him as a pet.
  • Zuko: The Crown Prince of the Fire Nation and a skilled firebender, meaning he has the ability to create and control fire.[8]
