Black Panther, one of the movies released by Marvel Studios earlier this year, keeps smashing records and exceeding the box-office and expectations. The Princess of Wakanda, Shuri, is the leader of the Wakandan Design Group responsible for developing this African Nation’s modern technology. When the young King T’Challa is drawn into conflict that puts his homeland Wakanda and the entire world at risk, Shuri has proven herself a great backup on creating new security system and weapons, including the Panther Habits and her cool looking panther-like gauntlets.
Beautifully crafted based on the appearance of Letitia Wright as Shuri in the movie, the highly-accurate collectible figure features a newly developed head sculpt with detailed hair sculpture, a newly developed body, an adorned elaborate new battle suit and neck ring, a Wakandan pattern sash, a wide range of weapons and accessories including a pair of LED light up Vibranium Guantlets, a spear, a Kimoyo Beads bracelet and a movie themed figure stand!
After the events of Captain America: Civil War, King T’Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country’s new leader. However, T’Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from factions within his own country. When two foes conspire to destroy Wakanda, the hero known as Black Panther must team up with C.I.A. agent Everett K. Ross and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakandan special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
Black Panther sees Ryan Coogler (Creed) directing Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa alongside Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger, Danai Gurira as Okoye, Winston Duke as M’Baku, Forest Whitaker as Zuri, Daniel Kaluuya as W’Kabi, Angela Bassett as Ramonda, Florence Kasumba as Ayo, Martin Freeman as Everett Ross, Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue, Letitia Wright as Shuri, Sterling K. Brown as N’Jobu, John Kani as King T’Chaka and Nabiyah Be as Linda.
