POP Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Zuko is the main antagonist of the American animated series Avatar, the Last Airbender. He is a Firebender from the Fire Nation. He is the eldest son of Fire Lord Ozai, a tyrannical leader. His goal during his adventure is to do everything possible to capture Avatar Aang in order to regain his honor and his place as the crown prince of the Fire Nation. Indeed, his father Ozai disowned him after Zuko disrespected him. It is from his father that he got the burn scar on the left side of his face. This burn was made during a fight called "Agni Kai". It is a traditional duel between fire masters dating back several centuries where it is a fight for honor between two people and which is won only when one burns his opponent.

Zuko will be accompanied on his quest by his uncle Iroh. The young prince at the beginning of his adventure is an impatient, stubborn, violent person who is obsessed with his only goal, the capture of the Avatar to regain his honor with his father. However, throughout his adventure and his encounters, he gradually calmed down, asking himself each time if what he was doing was right or wrong. He sometimes had difficulties to recognize the good from the bad. Always helped by the wise advice of his uncle Iroh. Deep down, Zuko is an extremely kind person, thinking of others and caring about the lives of his loved ones, as when he decided to shelter his crew from a storm at sea and stop chasing Aang when he was close to the goal. In fact, he was blinded by purpose and duty as the son of the Lord of the Fire Nation. He will become with time much more humble and calm finally finding his way.

The young prince, unlike his younger sister Azula, has no particular talent for firebending. He worked hard with the help of his uncle's good advice to become a powerful Firebender, even surpassing his little sister in their final battle. Zuko in his Firebending uses his calmness to generate powerful flames unlike all other Fire Nation masters who use hatred. The young prince has also learned to master the lightning strike, a very difficult technique taught to him by Iroh. In addition, Zuko is also very good at fighting with two swords and hand-to-hand combat, he is agile, fast and powerful.

This POP figure features Zuko, one of the main characters of the American animated series Avatar, the Last Airbender. On this POP, young Zuko is dressed in his new outfit and also changed his hairstyle from the beginning of the series. He has let his black hair grow out to medium length. Of course, Zuko still has his huge scar on the left side of his face. He is dressed in a dark red and golden tunic, red pants and black boots. The young prince is also equipped with a sword that he has tied behind his back. The posture he adopts on this figurine may remind us of his fight against his little sister when he sends her lightning back. This POP is a "Glow in the Dark" figure. The lightning that Zuko sends back with his right arm towards his sister, shines in the night.
