Hot Toys 1/6 Black Panther Erik Killmonger

Wait....for...in...hand...products. Then tear away at the head sculpt.

The lighting in a lot of HT pictures is surprisingly not that great.

Lighting on HT pictures is crap to put it nicely.

When Jin Cheol Hong’s painted proto pics don’t impress, then you know it’s only downhill from there.

True...I POed killmonger as soon as I saw his post. Definitely much better than the promo pics.

Wow, May to June 2019 now... figured this was getting CLOSER to releasing, not further away, lol.

 

[The Buffinator]

This was originally slated for a July 2019 release, then in September SSC contacted us to let us know it would be arriving @Dec 2018-Jan 2019. Now that they have 70% of my payment total, suddenly it 's back to May-June 2019? Hmmm - Looks like someone may be playing games to pad their 2018 year end profits. Or (more likely) HT is jerking them around...

Phew.... Good to know, I got a little breathing after the recent figure releases.

Crazy that IW line is releasing before the BP line...

Crazy indeed, I'm highly anticipating these BP figures.

Sucks killmonger got delayed but atleast Dr strange is coming out early.....for now

 

[DioramaMaker]

I'm tempted to make this line the next one I 100%. It's 4 figs and the throne, which would look good between two detolf cubes. But at the same time, that's 3 black one piece suited figures. There's not super amounts of visual variety in that regard. If they'd do a tacticool Killmonger I'd be all in then. I guess it depends on how vibrant the gold and yellows are in this suit, and how the texture stands out compared to the others.

Any news on the T'Challa figure? Is it also delayed just like this figure?

I've had no delay notifications on T'Challa (he's currently listed as Jan-March at Sideshow). However, things seem to be very fluid with Sideshow & Hot Toys at the moment...so who really knows? Probably best to expect the unexpected.

I still think it’s crazy Gamora is in such an early stage...

 

[capfolly]

A bit disappointed for the delay but it allows me to put in more money toward the Neo now and stretch the payment for Killmonger out on a payment plan.

Yeah, Sideshow really needs this figure and your partial payment to pad their year end...

I was being sarcastic in regard to the profits, but this does seem rather odd. I can't recall this occurring on a figure before. It's likely the rush to beat increased import tariffs may have played its part. Could be SSC were told EK would be in the group to be pulled ahead, then production issues caused a delay,

Killmonger body.
