The Black Panther movie has proven to be a defining moment for the title hero and his supporting cast. It’s also firmly established Killmonger as Black Panther’s greatest adversary, thanks to an unforgettable performance by Michael B. Jordan. Earlier this month, Hot Toys showed off its deluxe Black Panther that placed T’Challa in his new suit. Now it’s Killmonger’s turn. The battle for Wakanda’s soul can be recreated on your shelves.
Hot Toys has officially unveiled its sixth scale figure of Erik “Killmonger” Stevens in his Golden Jaguar suit originally meant for the Black Panther himself. In the film, T’Challa thought the gold made him too conspicuous, but Killmonger isn’t afraid to stand out on the world stage. He wants to burn everything down and rule over the new order.
The deluxe Killmonger figure will have over 32 points of articulation, as well as eight interchangeable hands and a sword and a spear he carries into battle against the forces loyal to T’Challa. A new head sculpt based upon Jordan’s likeness will be revealed too, and you can swap it out with this version’s head.
Hot Toys hasn’t set an exact release date for the Killmonger figure, but the company estimates it will ship in either the second or third quarter of 2019. You can view more photos of the statue in the gallery below.
