Hasbro’s Black Panther Marvel Legends Wave 2 Figures Coming in December

I didn’t realize I never took pics of Pop Shuri HERE ARE BELATED PHOTOS.

And thus my Shuri collection is now at two and I am still bitterly salty over the lack of MCU Shuri Marvel Legends (Yes I know there is a comic book Shuri in the two pack with comicverse Klaw but that is not the same) and hope in the future she will get one.

Shuri Figure

After seeing the movie I did actually fall in love with Shuri’s character which again reminded me of my annoyance of her not having a proper MCU Marvel Legends figure. So I settled on the next best thing

Here is my figure with really badly painted eyes. This involved 7 shops and two suburbs to get her.

I like her cat paw accessories but I feel like while all the details of the suit are there (wrong colours of course) the overall silhouette isn’t great and her waist cape is really lacking although it does look similar to the concept art.

WHERE IS THE REST OF HER HAIR?! Not even her bun?!

She also has no knee articulation and a T joint at her hips (meaning her legs can only go backwards and forwards)

Overall I feel it has a passing resemblance to the character with some good accessories and sculpt details (though I dislike the overall shape of the figure). I mainly bought her for the cat paws and her head which I will hopefully use to custom her up a body in future.
