Zoe Saldana as Neytiri in 'Avatar' - truly beautiful (click to enlarge)

Instead of posting them on Sci Fi Scoop I used Twitter to point to the latest round of Avatar images that were recently released by Empire Magazine.  But a moment ago I was checking in on another of my favorite sites, MarketSaw, and spotted those images again.  This time I couldn’t help myself from posting at least one of those images.

Avatar hits theaters:
Australia – December 17, 2009
USA & UK – December 18, 2009
