I have my tickets to see Black Panther Friday afternoon and I'm very excited. The sheer number of significant female characters featured in this film is unparalleled in the MCU: Okoye, Aneka, Ramonda, Nakia, Ironheart, Namora, and Shuri all seem like they will have significant screentime. In all honesty, I think that Shuri in this purple tracksuit is probably the least interesting costume I've seen in the previews so far. In plastic it looks slightly costume-like, but in footage and set photos it appears to just be street wear. Regardless, I'm glad they started off the movie tie-ins with a female Titan Hero Series figure. I only hope that we see a Titan Series figure of her in her final costume from the movie. I can't imagine that we won't. But considering the delayed unveiling of the Funko Pop and Marvel Legends figures, it will probably be a late reveal (and I promise I'll act surprised). I predict we'll see her before end of year. Let's check out the Titan Hero Series Shuri below!
I'm always surprised at how un-articulated these Marvel figures are. Shuri sports only five points-of-articulation.
All the competitors at this scale (Mattel, Jazwares, Spin Master, etc) have much more.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Shuri with the Ironheart figure (the shorter Deluxe version).
And her she is with the small Basic Series figure that came with the Vibranium Blast Sunbird vehicle.
Cheers!
