Once again we have the third post in a Marvel Miniatures Trilogy – in this case, it’s Black Panther!

A very authentic “cat-style” view of Black Panther!

Black Panther’s model is a pretty nice one, despite my usual disdain for tactical rocks. I guess he’s perched on a rubble-strewn tree this time. Central Park, perhaps? Once again I’ve gone for the Purple highlighting as opposed to greys – as was pointed out to me some time ago, his black costume was highlighted with purplish-blue in some of the classic comics so I decided to go with that with these three figures. Blue was also popular in a great many of the comics, so if I have any more dupes of T’Challa, I may go with blues in the future for variation. ( I know there’s at least one newer MCP figure I don’t yet have of him).

One thing that Black Panther does not have in Marvel Zombies is a Zombie/undead version. As the game was in development shortly after Chadwick Boseman’s passing, Disney quite understandably decided that it would be in …poor taste to have a Zombie version of the actor in a licenced board game, so Panther is one of only a few heroes in the game to not have Zombie counterparts.

Here’s this newly-painted version of Panther alongside the previous “Heroes Resistance” version – so I have one Grey Panther and one Purple-black one for Zombies. So, yeah – if I have a third version it would work to make him a blue-black (not sure if another alt sculpt is in one of the KS extras boxes).

And to wrap up, here are all four painted versions of my Panthers-who-are-Black figures (so far). No doubt the future will hold at least another one or two, but this will have to do for the time being!
