Other: After the untimely death of American actor Chadwick Boseman on August 28, 2020, the curator fashioned a doll/action figure in Boseman’s likeness using the Black Panther T’Challa head designed for a 1/6 scale 12-inch figure. The head was attached to a separately sold dark-brown muscular action-figure body. Among other roles in his illustrious acting career, Chadwick Boseman played the leading role of T’Challa in the 2018-released film, Black Panther.
