Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit

This Avatar set pairs two very different builds in one box: the tulkun Payakan and a diveable crabsuit, together totalling 761 pieces. White, dark blue and black give the set a cool, oceanic feel rather than the jungle greens usually tied to Pandora. This page lists every part by colour and quantity.

Description

A cooler palette than typical Avatar sets

White, Dark Blue, Black and Light Bluish Gray replace the lush jungle greens most associated with Pandora, leaning instead into an oceanic colour story that fits the set's underwater subject matter. Dark Blue in particular shows up less often across LEGO sets generally, which makes it a useful colour to have on hand if you're building other underwater or sci-fi scenes and want pieces that aren't the usual blue shades. If you're planning an underwater or deep-space diorama elsewhere in your collection, this is a set worth mining for that exact tone.

Two very different builds in one box

Rather than a single model, the 761 pieces split between an organically shaped creature and a mechanical suit, which means the build alternates between curved, flowing sections and more angular, technical ones. That variety in technique is a real change of pace compared with sets built around one consistent shape throughout, and it suits builders who'd rather switch things up mid-session than repeat the same construction method for the whole box. The build genuinely changes character partway through rather than sticking to one technique from start to finish.

232 unique parts for a creature's curves

Building a believable sea creature takes more specialised shapes than a boxy vehicle would, and that shows in the 232 unique parts spread across the set's 761 total pieces, a noticeably high ratio for this size class. If sorting and identifying pieces is part of what you enjoy about a build, rather than just assembling repeated standard bricks, this set has more of that than most vehicle or building sets its size. The shift from smooth, rounded creature parts to angular suit panelling is where that specialised-part count really shows.

Where the three minifigures fit in

Three minifigures cover the crabsuit's pilot along with supporting characters, while Payakan itself builds as a standalone creature model rather than counting as a minifigure. The parts list on this page shows roughly how the 761 pieces divide between the tulkun and the suit, which is worth checking beforehand if you're mainly interested in one half of the set over the other. That breakdown makes it easier to decide upfront whether the creature or the suit is the real draw for you.
