The Ember Island Theater

[Runamuck]

It’s time for the Ember Island players.

Probably the most complicated roof I have ever built.

Quite a bit of room for the audience.

I have actually made sure that there are stairs up to the “nose bleed rows” and that the roof can be taken off. Sorry about the picture being a bit dark.

The important part of the audience.

Unfortunately this was the best idea I had for Aang’s hat, despite looking goofy it mostly covers up his tattoo.

The stage from the theater.

The actors. Pretty simple figures, I didn’t want to use too many resources on them.

The generic audience, among them 3 school children and a soldier from the live action movie.

Bonus image:

My attempt at a brick built Momo. He is a bit on the large side being almost as tall as a minifigure.

Great building - especially the roof.

Oh man, this is too awesome! The building looks great, and the Players are hilariously spot-on! I especially love the face you used for the actor who plays Toph and the one you made for Jet! Love the rock guy too. But yeah, Aang's hat is pretty odd. I think a fez with a white stud or cone on it might look better. Also, the theater looks kinda empty; it needs some more audience. And that Momo aint bad, but it still looks very blocky. Is there any way you can use skeleton/droid arms for his arms?

Avatar state, yip yip!

Thanks for the comments. I tried to find a very manly face for the Toph actor, the hockey player’s snarl seemed like a good choice. The rock guy is actually supposed to resemble Jet’s “death scene”. The fez sounds like an interesting idea, but it wouldn’t cover the tattoo. I think the best piece would actually be a red or white version of the lawn gnome hat. I know the number of people in the audience is a bit small, but I wanted to post the pictures before my vacation, at least there are other people in the theater than team Avatar.

It could be possible to use droid or skeleton arms because of the piece I used for the torso, but it would require some different brown pieces, and with a couple of extra bits the tiles can also be used as wings.

So, you've made it after all, and I haven't seen it until now. I'm so ashamed.

I'll start with the figs: Katara looks great, although I think her hair is a bit longer.

Aang's headgear looks good tome. It is to big, but it's accurate enough.

Figures of all characters in play are awesome. No mater how funny Toph looks, my favorite

is Jedd. Scene of his death is well done.

You do know that character playing Katara was much more fat than "real" ( ) Katara?

Just like official LEGO version, you Momo looks oversized, but still good.

What do you think was worse? A:TLA movie or 'Boy in the Iceberg' play in 'Ember Island Players'.

I think it was the movie. Just like Sokka said: At least special effects were decent.

And that's all that was good in the movie: special effects. (they've even said legendary siege

of Ba Sing Se (I'm planning to make that one in micro-scale for a while) lasted for 100 days )

Once again, very nice job. I'm not sure what do I like more: this MOC or the one with Lu Ten's birthday

(Tales of Ba Sing Se were great).

Conclusion: A+

Since I now have an internet connection again, I can reply again.

I thought that this hairpiece would fit Katara’s fire nation hair rather well, it even has the bits that go over the shoulders. Most LEGO hairpieces aren’t really much longer than this one anyways.

I do know that the actress that plays Katara is rather heavy looking, but the weight isn’t really placed around her waist (that one is reserved for Ty Lee’s actress), it’s more thighs, chest and face. I just reused my regular Katara torso as a shortcut.

The Ember Island play is equal parts amusing and groan worthy to me. The Last Airbender movie on the other hand is rather stupid and kind of boring to me, even the special effects aren’t particularly good; ILM can do one heck of a lot better than that.

Hmm…the 600 day siege, that sounds interesting.

Thanks for the comment.
