Lani Tam Avatar - $1L
Posted by Teagan Blackthorne on May 3, 2008
I have just released a $1L full avatar inspired by the recent exposure to the fandom subculture of Second Life. This avatar is based on a character in one of my son’s favorite movie series, Hot Wheels(AcceleRacers). Laynie Link helped me with the overalls. Lani Tam Avatar is on the second floor at at the Granymyr location.
Who is Lani Tam?
Lani Tam is a character from the Hot Wheels’ movies. She first appears in World Race as a racer for the Wave Rippers team. During this time she had a brief romance with a member of a rival team, Taro Kitano of the Scorchers. The person backing the World Race is Dr. Tezla. The history given for her is that she grew up around street racers in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Lani appears in the AcceleRacer movies as Dr. Tezla’s assistant and her romance with Taro has ended. He says it is because he is hard to talk to. Lani’s duties include being a crew chief, medic and mechanic at the Acceledrome. Lani has a good relationship with the leader of the Teku, Nolo Pasaro. The chief mechanic for the Metal Maniac, Monkey(Mitchell McClurg), has a crush on Lani to the point of dreaming about her when he sleeps.
The character has appeared in:
Hot Wheels Highway 35: World Race
Hot Wheels AcceleRacers: Ignition
Hot Wheels AcceleRacers: The Speed of Silence
Hot Wheels AcceleRacers: Breaking Point
Hot Wheels AcceleRacers: The Ultimate Race
Also, by popular demand, I put out the Club Mosh Fairy Avatar for $1L.
