Hot Toys 1/6 Black Panther Erik Killmonger

[The Buffinator]

You'll be wowed! The figure's suit is so intricate, and the MBJ head sculpt is super hot fire!

If you're going to continue to be so unenthusiastic about every figure, perhaps this hobby isn't for you.

You're right I do need to reconsider this hobby!

Has anyone inquired the price?

You know for a fact it?s going to be something ridiculous.

Months ago someome else tried to get a run going for a vest by Fullmetal Customs I think it was. It looked cool but the price was absurd.

 

[Daveh75]

When they tell you to email instead of just posting the price, it usually is incredibly high from what I’ve witnessed.

 

[roninjai]

$535 + $25 S/H. Includes Vest, Chest Harness System with Custom Printed Straps, Painted Resin Armor Plates and Buckles, Blue Long Sleeve Shirt, & Camo Pants.

That's absurd.

Figured as much. I inquired about pricing on one of their other outfits (that was less involved than this one) a while back and it was something like $450 with no body or head sculpt. The wait for a reasonably priced third party release continues...

Yeah, I get that it takes time, skill and resources to make these custom outfits but I don't know where they get off charging what amounts to 2 whole figures.

Right. Not taking anything away from the time and skill it takes to make things, but like you said....the cost of two whole figures from HT. Then you need to go buy a body, a headsculpt, and all of the weapons as well.

It's just a matter of time before a third party company makes at least his vest, if not a full figure. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

 

[ArtDamage]

you can nearly order the Jazz inc Vulture for what that outfit set costs lol I don't mind paying for quality, but you're trying to tell me making killmonger's outfit requires just as much as an entire wingpack and figure?

Love this figure, the one thing that kinda annoys me is how inaccurate the helmet is. The patterns appear to reflect an earlier version of the movie art.

As a mock-up, I took a photo from someone on Facebook who coloured in the gold lines and edited the HT headsculpt pattern to be accurate. I'm trying to source a loose Killmonger body to have a secondary unpowered suit.

I don?t see so much difference about the helmet, but the suit without golden lines, oh boy...

I've put together screenshots and pre and post edits to make it clearer.

You'll also notice in the Concept Art stage, A is what the movie went with, but B looks like earlier concepts, which is what Hot Toys based their head on, it's fully gold with a black wash instead of gold up top, and dark below the jaw line.

On a side note, I haven't used these forums much, how does one embed an image in a post?

Thanks mate. I've added extra image comparisons above.

I can see now! But what about the lightning? HT original looks bright in some internet photos (I don?t have him yet)

Edit: That gold on the helmet was CGI. Here is suit prop:
