    Disney is out – pricing itself. Disney needs to get realistic.

      Or, you could just get a job instead of being a stay at home Incel

        Or you could just acknowledge reality. Stewie Dipfurk.

          Ahh let us guess, you are one of those lazy folks who thinks the world owes them everything. Loser

        Took the words right out of my mouth. Besides in this article there was mention of discounted prices.

        Who even uses incel on this site. People have jobs kid it’s not their fault they work more than you only for Disney to raise prices way beyond appropriate. Do better or get laid. Either way you need help

          Why not use that word, this isn’t a reputable site, it’s a tabloid. If you’re not bright enough to recognize that maybe you need to do better…and then maybe you’d have enough money to afford nice things instead of complaining that the world didn’t give you your GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip.

    This experience was a waste. We did it once and the doll just looked like a regular navi. You couldn’t tell any similarity. We should’ve asked for our money back on that one honestly. I bet they got it a lot.

    I’m not surprised with this one. I think they were a little overpriced on the beginning but a better value at $50. I see two problems with these types of experiences. One is that they are usually a one and some type thing. It’s not something that you’d do any more than once. Two, Avatar and Tron just don’t have the same kind of pull as a Star Wars. What I mean is that, while Avatar and Tron are very entertaining franchises, they just don’t match up to Star Wars on a pop cultural standpoint with people. Just look at the collectable market of Star Wars memorabilia, toys etc. Just plain insane. Just my opinion of course.

    I’m not upset to see it go but hope they utilize the space for something more than just plastic junk avatar swag that dominates the store now. Something nicer .

    We actually enjoyed this experience and travelled far to do it again, however the second time we went the experience was closed off. My kids were very disappointed as they enjoyed the creation process and noticing their slight resemblances to the dolls. They would create new outfits with our 3D pens and printer, and they enjoyed HOURS of imaginative play with them.
    I assumed it was shut down due to facial recognition/privacy of minors legality stuff, but that might be an incorrect assumption. If they were to do an experience like this again, lower the price to $59.99, include ALL tribes and color variations when the other movies are released to create hype, include a pre-programmed personalized digital hologram of avatar to download, have custom and artistic clothing for dolls that’s handmade or unique for sale in art display, (as well as basic options for each tribe) and fix the joints so they move of course, but don’t pinch skin as much when bending for active play. Supplying upscale, artfully designed foldable environments that look like the beautiful movie sets with glow-in-the-dark effects can be an affordable addition that would facilitate imaginative play with figures. The individual features of a person should be more noticeable on any upgraded avatars. Sell nice, affordable display cases for the collectors. Definitely market the surprise egg you can hatch with mystery creatures from movie to fit to scale with the figures. IF you want to actually make it cool again
