I don't think I've ever had to say this before, but if killmonger ends up looking like that in the final product, I'm 100% canceling my order... I don't think I've ever seen them drift so far from screen accuracy after the first proto before.

Watch...if Killmonger ends up being botched, there will be HT apologists that will make excuses for the downgrade/inaccuracies and say anything they can to justify their purchase.
Well, it depends on the reason they collect... Some people don't care as much about screen accuracy. For me, it's the primary reason I collect these...
I don't know if this change is because of the design marvel gave them or not, but to me it seems like they got lazy and decided to take creative liberties to make up for it.... I truly hope that isn't the final product because that is just unacceptable. I'm usually pretty lenient on minor details of screen accuracy on a figure, but I draw the line here.
Damn...I really hope that's the lighting cause that looks horrendous!
First they botch the Chadwick sculpt...and now potentially Killmonger suit muck up! Yeesh, HT's batting average with the BP line might be the worst I've ever seen...
If it's a glowing effect like panthers and only there under certain light, then that would be pretty cool, but not if the lines are always there.

The yellow is the same as the purple on Tchalla's suit, its only visible when its holding energy, the rest of the lime the raised lines are there but blend in color wise. I assume they decided they couldn't get a similar glow effect to work so they're just painting it on, looks cheap
Hopefully this means that the figure is actually coming out on time. With last year's delay I'm curious to see if they changed the Michael B. Jordan head sculpt at all.

If that’s the case and they couldn’t figure out how to get the lighting effect to work, then they should of gone with a non-lighted suit instead of one which is lighted all the time.
I would hope so cuz the Jordan sculpt they revealed earlier this year is VERY bad. Looks nothing like the actor. I said it before and I’ll say it again. Hot toys does an absolutely horrible job with black people sculpts.

I agree...the muted, but visible, jaguar pattern looks better visually than the cheap, bright, one-tone yellow highlights...HT congrats on botching it again!
And other than Black Panther, Kilmonger, Fury and Shuri has Hot Toys even made any other characters that are portrayed by black actors/actresses?
Their produced figures are usually pretty lacking in diversity. Think about... the only Justice League member they didn't do is Cyborg. The only Guardian they didn't do is Mantis.
P.S. Just remembered War Machine. But even then they've yet to make a full on Chedle.
