My daughter loves the Last Airbender and now loves this has kept her completely entertained. The bonus features were so much fun for her and she shared her love of this set with her friends – perfect for binging at a slumber party.
Thanks for this idea. Recently I saw that there is naruto shippuden, I even wondered what the difference was with just naruto and started reading articles like https://www.10differences.org/naruto-vs-naruto-shippuden/
Now I am inspecting it, and I think to see the Aang collection
