The only McFarlane Avatar The Last Airbender toy that I will buy... Appa the Sky Bison... no, not that type of Bison..
He was basically a flying steed where Team Avatar could travel the world... well, Todd purposely made him undersized. An in scale appa for the 5 inch figures would be rather big.
This Appa would fit like figures smaller than a GI Joe... but enough talk about him being undersized. Let's get cracking!!
Articulation
Head, mouth, and tail... while technically the feet are kind of in a ball joint, the unmoving legs make the articulation useless.

Paint and sculpt
Todd rarely fails us here... aside being too small APPA looks really great! If we can ignore the scale issues for a second and just look at the scope we can recognize it as APPA. And fortunately for Todd, the sky bison is basically a lump of bone white plastic with some brown elements which the toy has and they look pretty accurate.

Overall
Appa gets a 3.75 as his final score. Honestly I wish she was either slightly bigger or that he would have better articulation. He works as a nice background prop, but he really is way too small.
