Full disclosure: not a fan of these movies or their message...

... really. 

But I saw screenshots of this thing, and then the McFarlane model, and thought "hey, credit where it's due: this is a cool mech." However, the pending Lego version left me... eh... unfulfilled. Like... we couldn't even get the colors right (in Lego's defense, my guess is that they were sent an early render like this, where the lighting is kind of inconclusive. But still, that's a long way from nougat :pir-hmpf_bad:)...? I think the scheme being used on the real thing is wicked cool - like it really fits in with the bizarro color scheme that dominates... uh... Pandora (I legit had to look that up). Plus, it's not just the colors - the Lego version misses the mark completely on the rather organic lines of the vessel - theirs is more no-nonsense military-esque than Cameron's work of smooth and deadly art.

Anyway, I felt like a better job could be done with a similar part count, so I decided to give it an hour's effort and see what I could accomplish:

It's probably a bit chonkier than it should be, but that's the price you pay for shaping + fitting a minifig.
