Forever bae Winston Duke has launched an apparel line featuring his Black Panther character M’Baku and the phrase “Wakanda Forever.”
Duke, whose M’Baku character was a fan favorite in the billion dollar plus box office smash, is donating part of the proceeds from the sales to the American Diabetes Association, an organization near and dear to him.
In a newsletter to fans, Duke explained the new venture.
His statement reads:
“Join me, M’Baku, the leader of the Jabari tribe, with my exclusive Black Panther design. A portion of proceeds supports a cause close to my heart, the American Diabetes Association. Many members of my family and extended family are living with diabetes. They are rockstars and deserve the support needed to thrive.”

The Trinidad and Tobago native created a suite of six pieces for the launch. The tops range from hoodies to tanks to long-sleeved t-shirts. The Afrocentric gear features a styled portrait of M’Baku in red, green, and yellow with “Wakanda Forever” repeated on the background.
Ranging in price from $25.00 to $49.99, the offerings are sure to be a hit with Black Panther fanatics who have been clamoring to get their hands on the rather sparse selection of available Black Panther Merchandise. Those wanting to hop on the M’Baku train will have to act fast. Sales for the limited collection end on April 27.
Where are the Black Panther Toys?
Black Panther is a record-breaking success, and many are looking to get Wakanda-themed toys for their kids’ birthday parties or even to feed their own obsession.
So where can we get these Black Panther toys?
Unfortunately there were only 11 Black Panther themed toys released by Hasbro when the movie hit theaters. As Jim Silver, president of toy review website TTPM, told the New York Post, “the toy industry underestimated Black Panther.” But if you can’t find items in stores, your favorite Wakanda themed products are available at the Disney store as well as major online retailers like Target, Amazon and Walmart.
There are however reports of some stores selling out and as a result, the toy industry is trying to keep up with the demand for Black Panther toys.
