The November release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still some time away, but Hasbro is already beginning to help you plan out your cosplay for the premiere with its latest unveiling of the new Black Panther electronic helmet under its Legends Series. Designed as a 1:1 scale replica you can wear, the new helmet design carries detailed Wakandan markings that complement its purple light-up streaks running all the way from the top of the mask to the bottom.
It also features lenses that automatically flip up and down, and both features are easily accessible through the touch of a button. With a release date scheduled for this fall, it’ll arrive just in time to complete your vibranium suit as you head to the movies for Wakanda Forever.
If you’re interested in grabbing one yourself, pre-orders for the new helmet will be open today and cost $132 USD over on Hasbro Pulse’s website.
For CinemaCon 2022, Disney offered a number of exciting updates and looks including the official title of the upcoming Avatar sequel — Avatar: The Way of Water, the opening 20 minutes of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the first footage from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Following the record-breaking debut of Black Panther in 2018, Marvel Studios immediately worked with director Ryan Coogler to begin developing the sequel.
Met with the tragic passing of the original Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman, after his private four-year battle with colon cancer, the team took the necessary time needed to craft the film in a way that would honor Boseman’s legacy.
While the exclusive footage shown during CinemaCon has yet to be released to the public, descriptions reveal that Letitia Wright‘s Shuri, Lupita Nyong’o‘s Nakia, and Danai Gurira‘s Okoye will step in as the main characters in the sequel, leading Wakanda’s army in T’Challa’s absence. Fans are also widely speculating that Shuri will be Wakanda’s new ruler and the next person to wear the Black Panther suit, though that rumor has yet to be confirmed.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres on November 11, with the first trailer expected to release in the coming weeks.
Early last year, New York-based artist Yoon Hyup reinterpreted one of his signature dot paintings in the form of a three-dimensional character called Juggler. The figure was released in two vibrant configurations that were each limited to an edition of 125. For those of who you missed out on the chance to purchase, Hyup will bring back Juggler in a new white-and-black iteration.
Releasing exclusively through AISHONANZUKA gallery, the latest round of Jugglercharacters feature a pared back monochromatic color palette. “Someday, I started to find some faces in my paintings (random creatures). This new character’s name is ‘Juggler,’ which is created based on the faces that are hidden in my paintings,” the artist described in a past statement. Emblematic of his work, Hyup creates large stipple-like paintings that often depict various cities the artist has traveled to, along with imagined landscapes.
Similar to the first drop, the white-and-black Juggler figures possess the same dimensions (198 millimeters tall), are limited to an edition of 125 and arrive in a custom box with a price tag of $500 USD. However, in order to purchase, all customers must enter through a lottery system starting on July 1 at 11pm ET until July 3 at 11:59am ET. Winners will be announced by email after July 5.
To enter, email shop@aishonanzuka.com with the subtitle “Application for Juggler (White/Black)” and provide your name, phone number, email and shipping address.
