Black Panther was a runaway hit this year. It’s a superhero film that addresses racial struggles and colonialism while delivering the action-packed excitement we all expect from a Marvel film
Of course, Black Panther would not be the same without Shuri, T’Challa’s quick-witted, tech-wiz, super genius sister. Get Shuri in her full fighting gear, suited and booted to keep Wakanda protected. Wakanda forever.
Groot, the Chewbacca to Rocket, may may be a half-tree, half-man alien with little to say, but he is definitely one of the most beloved characters of the Marvel universe – and even more lovable as the pint-sized Baby Groot. This Pop! doll features Groot as seen in Avengers: Infinity War.
Deadpool is the notorious, self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking, “merc with a mouth” we’ve all come to love. He’s crude, though mostly cute as this Pop! doll, even though equipped with a sword and gun.
Star Lord captured our hearts in the first Guardians of the Galaxy because he was everything other Marvel heroes were not. Far from the upstanding patriot Captain America and the slick-talking, self-loving tech mogul Tony Stark, Peter Quill slid onto the screen as a sticky-fingered space adventurer whose sense of humour helped him mask deep-rooted feelings of loss and abandonment. He is easily the most relatable Marvel hero.
He’s hot-tempered, ruthless (though loyal), a sharp shooter – and a raccoon, but just don’t call him that. This version of the Pop! figure features Rocket wearing, well, rockets. It’s a great addition to any collection.
We see a familiar face in Thor: Ragnarok when Thor is thrust into a gladiator battle against an undefeated warrior on an alien planet. Can you guess who it is? You can own Hulk in all his gladiator glory in this Pop! doll.
Let’s face it. We all wish we had Doctor Strange’s mystical powers. While that may not happen, we can giddily appreciate his awesomeness with this Pop! doll.
Like Gamora, Black Widow is a skilled fighter who can destroy opponents in seconds. This Avengers: Infinity Wars version features her blonde bob, though there’s a version from Captain America: Civil War which features her iconic red hair instead.
