Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Dolls Showcase Intricate Looks
The three new dolls from World of EPI feature custom-blended skin tones, hair styles and costume designs.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's lead characters are getting a line of detailed dolls from World of EPI, including custom skin tones and the first mass-produced natural locs hairstyle.
The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Fresh Dolls feature custom skin tones and intricate costume designs for Okoye (left), Shuri (center) and Nakia (right).
Revealed Monday, this initial series titled Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Fresh Dolls Fierce showcases Shuri (as played by Letitia Wright), Okoye (as played by Danai Gurira) and Nakia (played by Lupita Nyong'o) as 11.5-inch dolls.
Each character has a look inspired by the films, including Okoye in her Dora Milaje uniform and holding a spear, Shuri looking ready to ride a vehicle (a motorcycle?) and Nakia in a battle outfit and her locs hairstyle.
Lisa Williams, founder and CEO of World of EPI, noted that the doll collection is taking particular care to represent the characters accurately.
"The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Fresh Dolls celebrate the brilliant and empowering Wakanda Warrior characters, and authentically bring their distinct attributes to life," Williams said in the line's announcement.
Each doll will be available this October for $50. International pricing wasn't announced but converts roughly to £40 and AU$70.
These dolls are the latest movie toys revealed in the leadup to the Black Panther sequel's release on Nov. 11. The film's first trailer debuted last month at San Diego Comic-Con, and Marvel also revealed an early line of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever toys.
