Square Enix Reveals Marvel's Variant Play Arts Kai Black Panther Action Figure
Square Enix is kicking ass with their Play Arts Kai action figure series. They've got a new one coming out featuring Marvel's Black Panther and as you'd expect it's pretty damn cool. I love the unique designs that they come up with for their variant figures. It gives the character their very own unique style that we won't see anywhere else. Here are the details:
Black Panther has become a world-renowned comic book character as one of Marvel’s most popular Avengers. While he fights under the guise of the mysterious Black Panther, he’s actually T’Challa, King of the technologically advanced African Kingdom of Wakanda.
This Variant figure has a wide range of motion while showing off his massive, yet dignified, physique. Black Panther’s suit is carefully crafted with utmost importance placed on utilizing unique materials to mirror its comic book counterpart. A hard material is used to express the special metal, known as Vibranium, that makes up his nearly unbreakable armor. Meanwhile, the inner layer of his suit is made of cloth that stretches to show off his muscular body. The colors help bring out just how much of a contrast there is between the shine of the armor and the elasticity of the cloth.
Multiple shades of black are adorned with silver accents, including his iconic necklace, helping provide contour and shine across his body. This figure’s interchangeable and highly expressive parts allow you to customize him, while staying true to the charm and appeal of Black Panther’s sharp and enigmatic persona.
The Play Arts Variant Black Panther figure is scheduled for release this October. The figure is priced at about $133.
