Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters on Nov. 11, continuing the legacy of the Wakandan superhero. In advance of the film’s release, World of EPI is introducing a new line of collectible dolls featuring the characters from the movie.
“The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Fresh Dolls celebrate the brilliant and empowering Wakanda Warrior characters, and authentically bring their distinct attributes to life,” says World of EPI Founder Dr. Lisa Williams. “Together, we can ensure Black and Brown children everywhere can embrace their individuality, build their confidence, and foster imagination during positive play. It’s imperative that children of all ethnicities grow up seeing a true representation of their beauty in the dolls they play with.”
The first series in the Fresh Dolls Fierce collection includes lead female characters Shuri, Okoye, and Nakia. Each 11.5-inch doll features innovative hairstyles, custom-blended skin tones, and intricate costume designs. Kids can use each doll’s various points of articulation to pose them for action and recreate scenes from the film. Every doll comes with its own signature battle accessory, including Shuri’s helmet, Okoye’s vibranium spear, and Nakia’s ring blades.
Designed for kids ages 6 and up, The Fresh Dolls Fierce collection will be available at major retailers this October for $49.99 each.
