I was checking out some of the Comic Con pics, and notice the Avatar action figure line looks to be close to 3 3/4" The figs do not look that great, but the vehicles have some potential.

Here's link to Ain't IT Cool News and an article with pics of the Avatar toys:

Scroll down a bit and you'll see them. I don't think there's any info in that article about scale.

It says on a couple of the vehicles 'works with most 3 3/4 RDA figures'.
Actually I'm not sure it says 3 3/4, it might be 3 1/4.

Well if they do work with 3 3/4, my USCMs will be getting some major hardware

i see, these are from an upcoming sci fi movie. The armoured suit thingy is neat i guess. The helicopter thingy would be cool but no doubt miles under scale. Aliens look very...'alien'. Overall some potential i spose.

Like to have that AMP Suit walker. Reminds me a lot like the ones in Roughnecks Starship Trooper Chronicles.
They used one in the last direct to DVD movie too.

I'm sure they'll look good on film. James Cameron gave us those cool Colonial Marines vehicles in Aliens after all.

I hope it's close to 3.75 scale and not like the GI Joe Sigma stuff (which this reminds me of too) which was cool but too small.

here are a couple of close up pics of the avatar stuff, including the helicopter thingy. Looks smallish but perhaps acceptable.
Scroll to the bottom.

I'm planning on just getting the soldier figures. I think they look pretty neat.
