Black Panther: Wakanda Forver is getting a new line of dolls that are sure to be a hot item for your kids this holiday season.

The new Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Forever Fresh Fierce Collection from World of EPI recently won the TOTY 2022 Doll of the Year award, and once you see them, it’s easy to see why. The highly posable dolls come in some amazing outfits with some of the nicest doll hair we’ve ever seen. Fully rooted, it’s obvious a lot of care was put into the production of these dolls.

There are three dolls in total – Nakia, Okoye, and Shuri – and all of them are a delight. We shot a photo gallery of each dolls so you can see them up close and the amount of work that went into their outfits.

If you’re a Black Panther fan. A doll fan. A Marvel fan. Or even just a quality toy fan. these are an easy recommendation from The Nerdy.

The dolls are available now from Target and will soon expand to other retailers.
