The new toys will include plenty of standard six-inch action figures as well as deluxe 12-inch figures, all featuring some slick details in the armor and overall sculpts (via Yahoo). That said, those might not be the most interesting parts of the new assortment.
First up though is the “Slash & Strike Back” Black Panther, a 13-inch electronic figure that allows you to pull back Panther’s arm to activate lights and sounds. It features more than 20 phrases and sounds and retails for around $29.99.
Next up is the usual series of six-inch figures, which includes Black Panther in two guises. One is the traditional silver-accented suit, while the second is infused with Vibranium with neon blue lines throughout. Erik Killmonger gets his own figure, though he is sporting a similar Panther-style getup as well. Shuri is included in the first assortment, and she includes her Panther gauntlets as well.
Two Titan Hero figures are part of the line too: a Black Panther figure and an Erik Killmonger.
The more exciting offerings are up next, which includes the 2-in-1 Panther Jet. The plane mode looks like a hovering Batmobile, but it can then transform into ground mode, which makes it look like a full-on black panther. Pretty fitting actually, though it probably won’t show up in the movie. Two masks are also part of the set. The first is a normal Panther mask, while the second one is a Vibranium Power FX mask which features a flip-down lens with two modes. You can hit the button on the mask once for a pulsating light or twice for a fixed light. This retails for $19.99.
Fans can also pick up a Nerf Vibranium Strik Gauntlet and a Vibranium Power FX Claw which includes sound effects and lights for $19.99. You can also buy a regular Slash Claw, which features a retractable claw, for $9.99.
