In celebration of Boseman’s talent and dedication to the arts (and coincidentally, right in time for the upcoming release of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever), Hot Toys has released a brand-new collectible. Based on the Black Panther’s original suit in the movie, the sixth scale figurine features a hand-painted head sculpt that masterfully captures the likeness of Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa with movie-accurate facial features, detailed skin texture, a sculpted beard, and over 30 points of articulations to manipulate within the model’s skeleton. Each collectible also includes:
An interchangeable masked headA Vibranium-weave suit intricately detailed with silver accentsA shieldA spearA Wakandan warrior maskSpecially designed themed figure stand with the movie’s logo and character nameAnd seven pieces of interchangeable hands including:One pair of fistsOne pair of clenching handsOne pair of clenching hands with clawsOne right hand for holding spear
The Black Panther (Original Suit) collectible is currently available to pre-order for $285 and models are expected to ship sometime between July and Dec. of 2023. Don’t want to wait that long for new movie merch? Try Marvel’s Black Panther: The Official Wakanda Cookbook ($29.99) or the pewter Black Panther Guardian Figurine ($690).
