Black Panther Movie Killmonger Head Sculpt – Hot Toys Update

under Marvel Toy News

Hot Toys has released updated photos for their upcoming Black Panther – Erik Killmonger 1/6 Scale Figure, which was initially announced back in February. The new photos give us a look at the unmasked head sculpt for the figure. Along with the unmasked head sculpt, the figure also includes multiple interchangeable hands, a masked head sculpt, a sword, a spear, and a themed figure stand. Look for Killmonger to be released between the second or third quarter of 2019. See the new photos after the jump.

Congratulations! Marvel Studios’ Black Panther has scored the nomination in the Best Motion Picture – Drama category at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards. Riding on the movie’s accumulated popularity, Hot Toys is excited to update fans regarding the progress towards the highly detailed unmasked head sculpt of 1/6th scale Erik Killmonger collectible figure from Black Panther.

Coming from Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece Series, the screen-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the appearance of Michael B. Jordan as the fan favorite villain Erik Killmonger. This newly developed head sculpt that features the powerful warrior from African Nations has strongly highlighted on both expression and braided hair sculpture with fantastical details.

The figure of Killmonger in Golden Jaguar Habit suit is a piece not to be missed from your awesome Black Panther Collection! Wakanda forever!

    Looks fantastic, I must say. And I didn't notice the subtle leopard/jaguar spots on the suit in the film. Brilliant.

    Now with that said, I can't wait to see the final head sculpt.

    That's the thing though, Shuri made 2 suits for T'challa to pick from, he picked the silver/black one because of stealth, but why would Shuri design the gold one with leopard print and looking evil? It's almost like she knew a bad guy was going to take it.

    It doesn't look evil? If we had seen T'Challa in this in the film I don't think anyone would have thought it was the "evil costume".

    I hope they do Shuri, I'd love Hot Toys of all the BP main cast but I'd settle for Shuri. Or Nakia. Or Okoye. Or M'Baku. Or...

    If by evil, you mean badass then yes I agree.

    I think the mouth is what makes it look evil, the gold lines look like fangs up close and from a distance it looks like the mouth is stitched closed like something out of Silent Hill :P

    Panther is a versatile word that can refer to different leopards, jaguars, or mountain lions. It can refer to a melanistic or black cat.

    "The Golden Jaguar" term refers to Killmonger having a pet Jaguar in the comics, but that's never referenced in the movie, simply a nod to fans.

    So it's not strange that she built it with spots for T'Challa, as a black jaguar is still a panther.

    this looks amazing. Still not enough for me to bite (because of cost). Perhaps if it was one of Killmonger's other earlier two looks in the movie (vegeta tact vest or museum) I'd give it a maybe for a purchase.
    Still....AMAZING!!!
