Cubeecraft of Tenzin from Avatar Legend of Korra

Wow, I had a rush of requests for Tenzin as a cubeecraft. He is one popular guy. This cubeecraft has facial hair which requires it to be cut along the while lines so that it will stick out as seen in the picture. It makes it a little more difficult, but you can’t have Tenzin without his beard. 😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who is Tenzin?
Tenzin is an Airbending master, as shown by the iconic blue arrow tattoos that Avatar Aang also sported. He is husband to Pema and a father of four, three (that we know of) are airbenders: Jinora, Ikki and Meelo. His youngest, a newborn son, has not been shown as an airbender. His name is Rohan. Often times we see Tenzin as calm and stern, but trust me he has a crazy side. We, of course, see more the crazy in his kids.

Without further adieu, I give you Tenzin, Avatar Korra’s Airbending master.

Cubeecraft of Asami Sato From Avatar The Legend of Korra

Although Asami has no bending abilities, she is still a force of nature. She is more than capable of defending herself in hand to hand combat. She also is a quick study when it comes to learning about machinery such as the electrified glove.

Because her father was the leader of Future Industries, Asami is proficient in controlling many different kinds of machinery and is an expert driver. You find examples of her ability to adapt to different machines when she controls a mecha tank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asami also enters a rather awkward love triangle between Korra, Mako and herself. She starts watching Mako show a deep concern for Korra and her green monster kicks in…I wonder what will happen…

Cubeecraft of Lin Beifong from Avatar Legend of Korra

Who is Lin Beifong? First and foremost she is the daughter of Toph Beifong, the Earthbender from Avatar the Last Airbender and the one who invented metalbending. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Lin is also an Earthbender with the skill of metalbending, she often uses metal cables as a weapon. Lin is the Chief of Police of Republic City and is the head of the Metalbending Police Force. She is a great leader and her forces look up to her but Lin is known as tough and uncompromising (As Korra well knows).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although Lin and Avatar Korra were not friends at first (to say the least) their relationship does grow with Avatar Korra and Lin assisting eachother against the Equalists and Amon.

Cubeecraft of Bolin From Avatar Legend of Korra

An Earth Bender and Mako’s younger brother, Bolin joins Korra and Mako as Cubeecrafts from the popular TV series Avatar The Legend of Korra, the next chapter following Avatar The Last Airbender.

Bolin lost his parents at the age of six, leaving him to look to Mako for the parental support. He helped create pro-bending team called the Fire Ferrets with his brother Mako. Korra eventual joins the team and they take second in the championships. Bolin has a pet fire ferret named Pabu. It becomes the team mascot and preforms tricks when directed. It becomes Bolin’s best animal friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Team Avatar would not be complete without Bolin. Now with Mako and Korra you can for the Pro-bending Team called the Fire Ferrets.

Star Trek Celebrates 46 Years with the help of Google

On September 8, 1966, Science Fiction took the next big step with the debut of Star Trek. In honor of Star Trek’s 46 year anniversary, Google’s home page is displaying an interactive doodle which features several images that allude to specific characters in the TV series.


Can you name all the characters displayed?

This will be removed at the end of Day Sept 8, 2012, however, it will be a part of Google’s Doodles Gallery at www.google.com/doodles. Read More on StarTrek.com

Be sure to go and click on the image as it is an interactive doodle and really fun.

Cubeecraft of Mako from Avatar The Legend of Korra

Mako was orphaned at the age of eight when his parents were killed by a fire bender. The scarf he wears was once his fathers. His only family he had left was his brother Bolin. Mako quickly took charge and did his best to care for Bolin and help them survive on the streets. Due to His bending abilities and those of Bolin, they were taken in to perform in the Pro-bending Tournaments. After a while Mako eventually formed and became captain of the Fire Ferrets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Mako first met Korra, they were not friends at first sight. In fact he thought Korra was one of Bolin’s fangirls. But when he needed her most Korra stepped up to the plate and entered the Pro-bending Tournament as a Water Bender. At first he was annoyed, but she eventually helped them get the win. From that point on Mako has had a little more respect for her and she became a part of the team.

Mako’s love life is a little more difficult. But I will save that story for the TV series (watch it and you will understand hahaha) Mako is surely a complicated character with a horrible past, but it looks to me that he will have a bright future.

Cubeecraft of Prince Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender

A banished prince stuck in a teenage body gives you a very grumpy and determined character to get his honor back and reclaim his place as the next Fire Lord. Although to accomplish these tasks Zuko must first capture the avatar. For much of the series, his whole goal in life is just that.
Throughout his quest he shows just how skilled he is in fire bending; the main show of skill was when he took down admiral Zhao in an Agni Kai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually Zuko returns home and is accepted back into the royal family where he learns his true destiny. After redirecting the Fire Lords lightning attack, Zuko leaves his father hiding underground to seek out the Avatar and join his crew. He decides he will be the Avatar’s Fire Bending teacher.

As the grandson to Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin, Zuko’s entire life has been the battle between good and evil. According to Zuko’s Uncle Iroh, this struggle will be a part of Zuko’s life, but Zuko needs to seek balance.

Having a set of Avatar the Last Airbender Paper Toys is not complete without Zuko. He was an enemy to become a friend. This figure below is based on the character of Zuko in book three.

Cubeecraft of Toph from Avatar The Last Airbender

“The Blind Bandit” is the biggest, strongest Earth bender of all time. Actually she is a little girl who is blind. She can see everything around her with her earth bending, better than those who see with their eyes. The show often gives the viewer a scene depicting what Toph sees. Her Earth bending is so great that she invents metal bending.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She is a hard headed girl who usually wants her way. Stubborn to the core, she is unmovable like a rock. She becomes Avatar Aang’s Earth Bending Teacher, which he has trouble with at first. In fact, even Katara had trouble with Toph at first. But they all do figure out how to get along (mostly).

The Star Wars Cookbook Deluxe Set with Cookie Cutters Review


Have you cooked from “The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and other Galactic Recipes”? Or have you cooked from “The Star Wars Cookbook II: Darth Malt and more Galactic Recipes”? These books have several fantastic recipes that are Star Wars related with creative names.

Such as:
Skywalker Smoothies,
Greedo’s Burritos,
Darth Maul Dip, or
Pit Droid Pizza

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These books are full of fun that will entertain the children or the child within. These first two cookbooks were made to be durable with kids in mind. They have hard covers that are very heavy duty and can handle kids playing with them. The pages are easy to clean when things get messy. The spiral binding keeps the bind from creasing and cracking.

However, the New Star Wars Cookbook Deluxe Set with Cookie Cutters: Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies! is lacking in quality. The bind is cheap (see images below). To see a full page you will have to crease the bind that will form cracks as time goes on. The covers are paperback, which means the durability has decreased substantially. Also of the 30 recipes, 15 (that’s half) are from the previous volumes. With this book being more expensive than the other two, I think more time and quality could have been issued.

The Binding on “The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and other Galactic Recipes”

VS

The Binding on “Star Wars Cookbook Deluxe Set with Cookie Cutters: Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies!”

While the cookie cutters are cute and the new recipes look yummy, I feel the 22-25 dollar price range is too much. This book screams lazy because of these 3 complications:
-it contains 15 recipes from the original cookbook,
-the binding is cheap and not the spiral binding that are exhibited in the other two cookbooks,
-and the cover is paperback and not a hard cover.

Perhaps the next cookbook will show greater care.

Cubeecraft of Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender

The plucky comic relief is now a cubeecraft. Sokka may not be a bender but he does turn out to be a wonderful warrior. He becomes skilled in the art of the sword and is very skilled with the boomerang. His constant hunger and weird quotes make him the funny character in Team Avatar. Being the older brother he tries to direct where the team should go, but more times than not he is voted down or ignored.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although he may be a very funny character and often clumsy, he does have his moments of serious communication with the other team members. He speaks comfort to Katara and Toph and shares his feelings with Zuko.
