Nakia (Marvel Legends Series 6")

Nakia is another of the butt-kicking women from Wakanda who helps to elevate "Black Panther" to the next level of superhero movie awesomeness.

Though she has a namesake in the comics her character in the movie is basically new. She's decked out in the uniform of the Dora Milaje though she's not strictly speaking a member of that order. Lupita Nyong'o portrays Nakia in the film as the best love interest the MCU has seen thus far but she's so much more than that. She is a fierce, competent, warrior and spy who is awesome. Okoye and Shuri might edge her out as my favourites but she's no slouch.

I'm not normally someone who chases the build-a-figures (I think I have one other one from a DCUC wave) but the Black Panther wave sucked me in with the chance for an Okoye figure. What really pushed me over the edge though was the fact that I didn't have to buy the Iron Man and he was the figure I really didn't care about so double win!

Finally some MCU costumes that are more fun and colourful.

Nakia and Okoye share very similar bodies but upon closer inspection they have more unique parts than just their heads. Weirdly though Nakia's pants (or lack thereof) are made weird by the intricate sculpted details on her legs. 

"Thing Rings do your thing!"

One ring to rule them all? Nope she has two.

Panther power.

"KLANG!"

Peekaboo!

Nakia comes with Okoye's Vibranium spear in its collapsed form...

...and the fully extended form.

Nakia and Shuri ready for battle.

And she sticks the landing for the gold!
