Create Your Own Avatar Action Figure In Pandora

Disney have shared some images and details on a new interactive experience called ACE Avatar Make, which allows guests to create a personalised Avatar figure.  The experience can be found in the Windtraders store in Pandora: World Of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  

The Disney Park Blog caught up with Cody Hampton, who is a merchandise product developer for Disney.  “We were inspired by the breathtaking Avatar Flight of Passage attraction when designing ACE Avatar Maker,” explained Cody. “During the attraction, guests are connected with an avatar for first-person flight on a banshee over the moon’s incredible landscape. We thought guests would love to see what they actually look like as a human/Na’vi hybrid. Using a digital process, guests can now create and personalize their own avatar action figure.”

The experience allows guests to step into a special transformation booth, where they are greeted by an Alpha Centauri Expedition Scan Technician who uses a state-of-the-art, facial capture scanner to enter data into the Hybrid Digitizing System.

After an image is captured, guests select their avatar’s body style from four different choices. Both youth and adult sizes are offered. They also choose eye color, facial striping pattern, and hairstyle.

Throughout the experience, the technician shares interesting details about the Na’vi.  Once the customization process is completed, guests receive an ACE identification tag. This keepsake card is used about 30 minutes later at the ACE Avatar Maker Fabricator inside Windtraders where guests receive their completed action figures.

Disney are also selling four accessory sets that can be used with the poseable action figures and if a guest wants to take part in the experience, they will need to make a reservation on a first-come, first-serve basis inside Windtraders.

Will you be having one of these personalised figures made?
