Early this year we were lucky enough to get the complete Legend of Korra series to review and we were able to relieve the amazing episodes. Now available to own is the Ultimate Aang and Korra Blu-ray Collection which collects both Avatar the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra series. This set would make a great gift for any fan of the series.
The Blu-rays are filled with a lot of bonus content but the best one is A Conversation with Janet Varney and Dante Basco. It is just great to see them talk about the show and the impact that it has had on society. You can not go wrong with any of the bonus content in this collection. If your children have not seen any of these episodes, we highly recommend getting this set to introduce them to this fantastic series.
Nickelodeon’s critically acclaimed, Emmy® Award-winning Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra animated series are back in a brand-new special collector’s edition: The Ultimate Aang and Korra Blu-rayTM Collection, arrived on December 7, 2021. The 2-series collection features new outer packaging designed with custom art of Aang and Korra in the Japanese Sumi art style, plus a brand-new bonus disc and eight collectible art cards.

Created by Konietzko and DiMartino, Avatar: The Last Airbender aired on Nickelodeon from February 2005 through July 2008, garnering both critical and audience acclaim while also winning Annie®, Genesis®, Primetime Emmy®, and Peabody® awards.

The fan-favorite series spawned a beloved animated sequel series, The Legend of Korra, which aired on Nickelodeon and Nick.com from April 2012 through December 2014, garnering both critical and audience acclaim while also winning Annie® and Primetime Emmy® awards. The series features the same iconic blend of anime and traditional animation alongside a talented voice cast including Janet Varney (TV’s “Stan Against Evil”, “You’re the Worst”), David Faustino (TV’s “Married with Children”, “DreamWorks Dragons”, “Dragons: Race to the Edge”), P.J.
