Build-a-Bear Brings You Fearsomely Snuggly ‘Black Panther’ Teddy
  • 6 years ago

Lions and tigers and panthers. Marvel’s eagerly-anticipated “Black Panther” hit theaters Friday, the same day Build-A-Bear announced the launch of its companion teddy bear that comes straight out of Wakanda. The plush toy (which will set you back $28) is wearing the same suit that T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) dons in the film, which is made out of one of the world’s strongest substances — Vibranium. Hannah Beachler, who served as Black Panther's production designer, was asked on Twitter about the similarities between the futuristic visuals of both films. But it sounds like portraying that sort of heightened technological evolution was a priority for Beachler.
