Yeah it looks pretty bad. I always hope in hand videos and photos might make it look better but i don't have any hope for this one. Fingers crossed they make a tactical version someday.

The Head sculpt is ok. I bought it to display with the helmet on though so it’ll just be an added bonus if the head sculpt comes out decent like the BP one.

Can't say I was blown away by the proto sculpt...very little MBJ likeness and I'll be astonished if it improves by the time it gets to final product. (When was the last time HT served up a lacklustre proto and then surprised everyone with a great final?)
Overall I'm just not feeling it with this BP line. I may pick up Shuri if she turns out great...but that will probably it for me.

That's fine. Def disagree on that one. Likeness is shoddy at best with the sculpt. Maybe better from viewed from below or maybe 3/4's? Don't know, but to me that prototype is already off so it's f*&ked from the jump.

Tactical suit with the tribal mask would be a god send. Don't know what they were thinking with the golden jaguar release. Maybe because it is easy to piggy back off the black panther design since they are so similar, but it was a no brainer that most people probably wanted the tactical suit version of this character.
Such awesome costumes and designs in the Black Panther movie with almost nothing to show for it from Hot Toys.

I bought a Finn body to use for mine, but I wasn't happy with the arms so I bought a HT Noland body to use. Both of those have brown necks and torsos.I got a nut piz head sculpt on the way. Does anybody have a suggestion on a neckpiece for this “reverend killmonger” costume?

No. BP is barely out. Shipments have seemed to slow to a crawl on most Hot Toys as of late

I don’t think so but after what toys era did with Cable, I want them to do a tactical Killmonger
So on board with this.

The one I have is the fin body, the arms are slim but not to bad as it fits the cloak I have. I’ll prob use clay for the scars, but that neck piece is all I need now.

Not yet, but I've been planning to. Already have all the materials, just need to put it together and wait for the Hot Toys figure to arrive so I can use the head.

Are you redoing the hot toys head to have the correct hairstyle when he wears the tactical suit?

Good question! I have some thought on how to get those braids so I'll have to look at an option or two to see how easy it would be but my first instinct is to just use the head sculpt as is.
