6" Black Panther & others

Hasbro has created 6" action figures from Black Panther as well as 5" versions.

The 6" version features five characters from the movie. Black Panther, Eric Kilmonger, Nakia, Black Bolt and Sub-Mariner. There is only one female produce but if you want the second female you have to buy all five figures to make her. I thought that this should have been a main character from the set and not an addition. Black Bolt or Sub Mariner should have been the addition. It makes you force to buy the all the characters if you want to make another Dora Miljae, the female warriors of Black Panther.

So Okoye can only be created by collecting all her pieces that appear in various boxes of the main action figures made.

In the 6" version, Black Panther comes with interchangeable faces, a human and a mask. This makes it great because Black Panther can come out of his mask and look like a regular person.

In addition Shuri, black panther's sister does not appear in the 6" version, she makes an appearance in the 5" version with Black Panther and Eric Kilmonger.

Black Panther

Black Panther

I finally have a 12" figure of Black Panther with a Face. He was at Target. I refused to buy the other Black Panther that was created by Hot Toys. It did not have a face but a mask and I felt they rushed to get it out.

I have waited for years to see the Black Panther in his own movie and it the movie debuts in February. He did make an appearance in Captain America -Civil War (2016). Black Panther is played by Chadwick Boseman.

I am excited about the movie and for the Action Figures.

Two different black panthers. 49.99 version with removal face and mask and the 9.99 version with limited movement

Since April 2006, I started reading Black Panther and Storm for the Wedding of the Century by Jerome Eric Dickey. I thought it was going to be a 6 comic book series. It turned out to be a several year series with several spin offs and I bought each one of them. Reginald Hudlin was one of the writers for he comic.

Black Panther and Storm

The Black Panther comic book returned in 2015 with a new writer, Ta Nehisi Coates There were two other spinoffs, "The World of Wakanda about the Dora Mijae that protect him and Black Panther and the Crew, but sadly they ended. The Crew featured, Misty Knight, Storm, Black Panther, Luke Cage and Manifold, five black superheroes.
P. S. I was hoping the Crew made it so that I could get all five action figures.
