“Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting a crazy amount of movement from the figure, but this figure is rather limiting”
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED BLACK PANTHER FILM , MARVEL HAS ONCE AGAIN SHOWN HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY BRING THEIR CHARACTERS TO LIFE ON THE BIG SCREEN BUT ALSO TO STAY TRUE TO WHAT MADE THE CHARACTER SO COOL IN THE COMICS
I was, however, pleasantly surprised to see that the toy manufacturer included quite a lot of textured and embossed details on the figure’s black costume which accurately mimics the one worn by actor Chadwick Boseman in the film.
While most of the Black Panther Slash and Strike figure is completely black, which made me step on it quite a few times when walking through my daughters’ bedroom in the dark, there are a few silver accents painted on too.

Nah, my boy is into Thor.
Yes, teach him to be a colonizer!
“Make way for the hero in you”
My hopes were soon squashed as I realised that the figure had a surprisingly limited amount of articulation.
I especially like the silver painted areas on the figure’s face which helps add some detail to it.
“You’re telling me that the king of a Third World country runs around in a bulletproof catsuit?” – Ross
When twisting the figure’s midsection and then releasing it, it activates a light on the figure’s chest accompanied by a slashing sound.

Great light up and sound effects which are seamlessly integrated into the figure
I was excited to see if the figure would be given the same care and attention as the character on screen.

“Black Panther can’t even sit down and relax”
When the Black Panther Slash and Strike figure arrived at my doorstep I was geared and ready to rip this bad boy out of his packaging.
The figure was rather durable and was able to take quite a bit of punishment.

It’s a figure which is not only able to take most of the punishment a kid can throw at it but would also look good being displayed next to your other figures.

“That said, the real drawcard are the figure’s two main features: the ability to slash (and strike) and 15 sound effects.”

Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t expecting a crazy amount of movement from the figure, but this figure is rather limiting. The only articulating joints are on the shoulders, wrists and head. There are no articulation joints at the elbows, knees or even hips/thighs which means that, after a hard day superheroing, Black Panther can’t even sit down and relax.

“For those who grew up in the 80s’, one of the must-have toys was the 3.75-inch G.I. Joe figures, which seemed to dominate the toy market at the time.”
“After a quick explanation, followed by an overwhelming amount of questions which seemed to become more with each answer I gave, I was finally able to remove the 13-inch figure from its packaging.”
