Hot Toys 1/6 Black Panther Erik Killmonger

[Han-Da]

I can see now! But what about the lightning? HT original looks bright in some internet photos (I don?t have him yet)

Edit: That gold on the helmet was CGI. Here is suit prop:

Honestly the gold lines are not overpowering in person, it actually accentuates the suit beautifully.

Yeah all the gold was added in post production, I'm constantly on the hunt now for a loose or bargain version of the figure to customise it.

Owen1313 on Instagram modified one which looks great, dulled down the gold so it's still visible.

I like this one by Timothy Dyer, he used pastel chalk:

Yeah I've seen that one too. It does look great and I suppose it isn't permanent, once you feel like you're done with the look, wipe it off.

I prefer the bright gold lines, looks much more striking. Wish the actual suit had looked like that.

I've never been a fan of Owen's work. Everything he does looks drab and bland.

Probably all CGI when Killmonger has his helmet on.

I think his work is rather interesting but I agree that most of the figures become a little too dark.

I really am in too minds about this figure right now. Love the figure the way it is, but the screen accurate figure really would look great to me as well!

I was randomly looking at some pics and noticed that this Killmonger picture is definitely the one that was used to make the first wave nut pizs Killmonger headsculpts which I compare with mine on the left. Looking at it side by side now, the sculptor defo caught the likeness of MBJ aka killmonger.

Thanks!

does anyone know if keeping Killmonger like this would be a problem for the suit?

It's looks like he's in a full crouch - is that correct? If so I would expect you might stretch out the suit at the knees, and he might end up with some permanent creases at the back of the knees. I'm not certain about that, but I don't think leaving them bent beyond 90 degrees is advisable.

That is a dope pose though, there's no disputing that!

The arms? Yeah, then no problem.

I finally completed my robe Erik Killmonger custom using the Hot Toys Headsculpt. This is how I wanted him to look originally but it took me forever to get my hands on the nano necklace and find a way to do the body scars but after trials and fails I finally got it done to my taste.

 

[Zurdo95D]

Looking good!! So cool to see a Killmonger figure with the scars!

 

[RBMONTANA]

@Zurdo95D, thanks man, and they are removable too, so they can be reposition or reshaped anytime in the future.
