For years now, most of us have been watching, and loving, Nickelodeon’s hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The American anime toon has received a tremendous amount of praise for it’s animation style and deep storyline structure. I know this. You know this. But there’s a few unlucky folks around the globe that haven’t been able to see the show yet for themselves yet. Well, that list just got much smaller, as MTV Networks is bringing the toon to regions in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Welcome to the party, guys! The first of which will be TVB and ATV in Hong Kong, which marks the first time a show will air on both of the the territories broadcaster networks. Clearly, they’re excited!

The Last Airbender movie is on its way; less than a year until the release date of July 2nd, 2010. And, of course, a movie can’t be released without some toys by its side! Spin Master will work with Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products to produce toys for the film, based on Nickelodeon’s animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. This will include action figures, vehicles, playsets, and more, all based on the heroes and villains from the live-action flick, brought to us by M. Night Shyamalan, Nickelodeon Movies, and Paramount Pictures.

Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny. But when the Fire Nation launches a brutal attack on the others, the world sinks into war. A century of battles rage, with no hope in sight, until Aang begins to unlock his true calling, and discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Sound familiar?
