XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium CollectiblesÂ
Descriptions:
XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Black Panther! The King of Wakanda, also known as the Black Panther is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Set against a Wakanda themed backdrop, Black Panther is depicted crouching ready for battle brandishing a Vibranium spear. The statue also comes with an alternate handsome unmasked portrait.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – T’Challa is heir to the centuries-old ruling dynasty of the African kingdom Wakanda, one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth. T’Challa studied in Europe and America, then underwent ritual trials in Wakanda – including defeating his uncle King S’yan, the existing Black Panther – to win the heart-shaped herb, gaining superhuman abilities.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – When his father was killed, T’Challa gained the role of King of Wakanda and the title of the Black Panther.  He is among the top intellects and martial artists of the world, a veteran Avenger, and a member of the Illuminati. Using his powers and abilities, he has pledged his fortune, powers, and life to the service of all mankind.
The name Black Panther predates the founding of the Black Panther Party in October 1966, though not the black panther logo of the party’s predecessor, the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO), nor the segregated World War II 761st “Black Panthers” Tank Battalion. Scripter Stan Lee denied that the comic, XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – which pre-dates the political usage of the term, was, or could have been, named after any of the political uses of the term “black panther”, including the LCFO, citing “a strange coincidence”.
The Black Panther is the first black superhero in American mainstream comic books; very few black heroes were created before him, and none with actual superpowers. These included the characters in the single-issue, low distribution All-Negro Comics #1 (1947). Waku, Prince of the Bantu, who starred in his own feature in the omnibus title Jungle Tales, from Marvel’s 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics and the Dell Comics Western character Lobo, the first black person to star in his own comic book.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – Previous non-caricatured black supporting characters in comics include U.S. Army infantry private Gabriel Jones of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.
In a guest appearance in Fantastic Four #119 (February 1972), the Black Panther briefly used the name Black Leopard to avoid connotations with the Party, but the new name did not last. The character’s name was changed back to Black Panther in The Avengers #105, with T’Challa explaining that renaming himself made as much sense as altering the Scarlet Witch’s name, and he is not a stereotype.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – The origin of the idea for the character was disputed by both Kirby and Lee. Kirby claimed sole credit for creating the character in The Comics Journal #134 (February 1990), stating that realizing there were no black characters in his comics demanded that some be added for “human reasons”.Lee claimed the character was created by his desire in the mid-1960s to include more African and African-American characters in Marvel Comics.
XM Studios Black Panther 1/4 Statue Premium Collectibles – While there is no documentation showing which claim is closer to the truth, by 1966 Kirby is thought to have been largely plotting the book on his own and having to explain the stories to Lee when the pages arrived in the Marvel offices, as had happened a few issues prior with the Silver Surfer in The Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966).
