Hot Toys 1/6 Black Panther Erik Killmonger

[The Buffinator]

Lol dude, you sure you wanna revisit that topic again?

But if the T'Challa headsculpt was anything at all like the prototype I would have been such a happy camper!!!

It will be weird that I will own the entire line from the BP movie EXCEPT T'Challa...kinda crazy that HT said F it and downgraded the quality on the final product of the titular character! WTF were they thinking?!

Yeah, obviously I just posted that for laughs / to see your reaction.

It is bizarre that the T'Challa sculpt is so much worse than the others, but as I always intended to pose him with his mask it was never an issue for me. Plus I remember getting him for just under $200 shipped thanks to rewards points, so I was probably a bit more forgiving as a result.

Maybe you can find a decent deal on eBay....

Nice pics! Based on pictures the MBJ head sculpt looks stellar. I'd like to put together a waterfall fight look with it.

We can only hope!

HT sure are dropping the ball a lot from prototype to production lately. I'm afraid if they announce anything I have always wanted like an Indy 2.0 this year it'll turn into a turd in production.

I know it's a fool's hope that they'll make Indy 2.0.

Just received a Killmonger today and it's fantastic!!! The figure is stunning and wowow the MBJ head is stellar. Can't wait to put together a waterfall throne fight look with it.

Killmonger is my favorite MCU villain.

I just got mine...it?s amazing except that somehow the MBJ headsculpt seems a bit too small for the body. This is one figure I prefer to have the masked on. Need to make a custom kill monger using the unmasked headsculpt now.

This E.K. sculpt is supa hot fire

I reacquired a HT Noland body off TA to make a separate Killmonger, of course the color tones don't match up nicely but I can't be too bothered; just waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive.

Yeah I also prefer this figure masked, however that MBJ sculpt is just too good to not utilize.

Totally agree!!!
He is amaziiiiing. Decided to just put the headsculpt on. Too good not to

The Jaguar suit is absolutely stunning, however when I envision Killmonger I think of how he looks in his militaristic attire. I'm attempting to put together a display using the MBJ sculpt, as that's how I'd want to represent E.K.

On a related note, while I definitely like the additional sculpt included and its expression, I would've liked another with a similar expression to this, as he exhibits such vigor and voracity in the film:

Gah that picture frustrates me so much. Those suits look GREAT practically, yet they insisted on CGIing them out entirely. What an unfortunate waste, truly. That movie would have looked so much better had they not assed up the CG all around.

Nutpiz has one. I find it a bit creepy tho.

In desperate need of this version of Killmonger with his tribal mask:



Hell, I'll even take the king Killmonger at this point,

I think the sculpt is good, and the Maxnut heads look ok as well.

I'm a bit surprised a third party did not attempt to make this version of Killmonger, and HT too since they surprisingly released T'Chaka and Shuri.
