Yeah I mentioned before they're just a little too big. His lips are like that but they are just a bit overstated on this figure. The hair looks amazing though.

I'm glad to see villains finally getting love from HT...but still wish they released Yellowjacket. That outfit was so cool!
Long wait for the reveal and I think it’s nicely done. Not buying the gig but HT did well ...

Nicely dome sculpt by HT. Too bad it doesn’t look like Michael B Jordan ....
Good thing he looks good in his panther mask.
Nut Pizs sculpts are so much better. Not the right sculpt for the figure, but it’s the best Killmonger I’ve seen.

Sadly, for the artist, you already know this is getting recasted.

Little double chin going on with the third party, but it has good features through the cheeks and brow.

Even though it's not perfect, I do think the 3rd party sculpt has the better likeness.

^ I agree. It really captures mbj.
Is the 3rd part sculpt even available?
personally I prefer the hair on the HT sculpt

The chin on that 3rd party one is a hot mess.

Right. And it still looks better than the Hot Toys sculpt which speaks to how trash the hot toys one is. LOL.

Anyone else seeing a bit of Micheal Jai white in this Hot toys head? and after seeing the custom again I have to change my mind, hot toys is better
Can't unsee now.
HT sculpt isn't perfect but I'll take that over three chins.
This is far from excellent.
Nutpizs is def mbj... Anywhere you look, it is mbj... Hot toys one sadly doesn't, at a certain angle it looks mbj but at some angle it doesn't...
But from a friend's experience buying from nutpizs, the good ones are only the first batch, then the next batch after that, the quality isn't as good...and I'm happy with the hottoys one and don't feel I need to spend more on a third party.
But that chin though...

From a technical standpoint, Hot Toys is the better piece of work (as it should be). It's a wonderfully detailed sculpt and as already mentioned, the hair is really nicely done - great craftmaship. But for that instantly recognisable likeness, the 3rd party - despite it's obvious shortcomings (chin etc.) - captures MBJ better (at least to my old eyes it does). Take the HT sculpt away from the Kilmonger body and it's a real struggle to identify who it's supposed to be from some angles.
