Of all the 1/6th-scale collectible figures in Hot Toys' Captain America: Civil War line, Black Panther may be the one collectors are looking forward to most. And judging from these first official images, it's unlikely to disappoint.

Sure, it's light on accessories -- interchangeable palms, and a display stand only -- but you must admit the body and highly detailed, textured black-and-silver costume are impressive. Standing just over 12 inches tall, Black Panther boasts more than 30 points of articulation.

The figure won't be released for several months yet (somewhere between the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017), so keep your fingers crossed that an unmasked head sculpt will be added.
