It’s actually easy to own a piece of Wakanda without having to worry about being sliced to ribbons by a man who wields the power of a panther deity. Hot Toys are taking a second crack at the Wakandan king, ahed of the release of Black Panther.
Palpatine’s Death Star chair? Magnificent, regal and the kind of throne that immediately told you who the real boss of the Galactic Empire was. A chair that has been lovingly recreated in sixth-scale form. The Emperor figure ain’t too bad either!
After 1999, every movie was interested in bullet time. Every movie wanted Hong Kong’s hottest action choreographers to help frame a fight scene. Me?
