the Enraged Thanator

The release of the new Avatar movie convinced me to watch the original, and the introduction of the Thanator was absolutely thrilling! I was inspired to have my Thanator model bursting from the branches of a tree to create a more dynamic display, comparable to the scene where the Thanator chases the main character through similar branches. I chose light grey pieces for the tree to look more alien and to show off more of the colors of the plant life. It creates a display set at night, perfect for showing the bioluminescence of Pandora. The Thanator is a combination of technic, big-fig, and classic pieces, but the enraged face's detail becomes the entire model's focal point!
My favorite detail is piece 32828 implemented to create the eye, and with the minifigure handlebar on top makes it look like a furrowed brow, capturing the perfect emotional expression of the Thanator.
I hope you enjoy looking at this model as much as I loved making it!
