For sure! Man-Ape has always been visually stunning and just cool looking. Needs to be a figure!
@Lord_ScareglowOh yeah, it's about time for Man-Ape -- that one is most definitely overdue. I've got high hopes for Killmonger and Preyy too.
After seeing this review, I actually changed my opinion of this figure, I at first thought it wasn't much of a update from the less demi-classic-ish Panther from the Wakanda forever wave, This one does have some nice new additions, mainly that I didn't notice, or maybe it wasn't noticeable that he has a blue wash, which gives this a really nice feel, it's not obviously classic this is from a specific time, which is fine it's close, but they really should have given him Blue gloves and boots that would have really pulled it all together, I mean of course Black Panther never actually had any Blue going on, it was all shading that made us think that, it's pretty much just canon there was blue, I mean the gray is actually more accurate so it makes sense. The new buck use is pretty sweet here, I do gotta say, overall much cooler then I previous thought, but I'm still not going to get him I'm fine with the previous one.
Now I like that CLScreative mentions how nice it might be to get a Klaw re-do at this point, but Before that we really need to get Comic Killmonger, Man-Ape, White Wolf, Achebe & Tetu or something, also like how cool would American Panther be to get?, like so many Marvel Heroes, the rogues galleries are pretty much dismal.
Really digging this one. The Punisher body was a great choice, the new heads look so good, and I'm VERY glad they finally gave this cat some blue shading. My only real gripe is I wish they had leaned all the way into the classic colors with the boots, gloves, and belt, while ditching the ninja-toed feet. Changing that would've made this my ideal Black Panther, diving that much deeper into definitive territory. A very nice upgrade overall.
Now I'm hoping we get a Klaw update to go with him -- on a bigger, more imposing body than the last one, with an overall more classic look. This Panther deserves one that can properly square off with him!
