If you can only have one? Thanos - Phoenix - Magneto
XM is producing some statues that is hard to pass up. Of the 3 Statues, which one would you pick and why?
Which would retain more value down the road? Any ideas?

Phoenix for me. One of my favorite characters since I started reading comics when I was 7. Best sculpt of the 3 and really in the running for all time. It's so good I'd like one in a solid color just so as to not detract from the sculpt lines.
Thanos is also one of my favorite but he has always been depicted the same and I can't accept the changes the statue makes. Unmasked head is perfection though.
Magneto will be worth the most. Most hype, main villain of the most popular team in all of comics and "on a throne" (kinda like on a boat). Really what put XM on everyone's radar.
Also the lowest ES of the 3 and no matter what anyone says with 999 there will be people looking to sell especially with $1000 invested some will become desparate just to recoup the costs.
This will be their masterpiece for a long while.
If Magneto started out with Sosa's custom head I would have ordered. A perfect companion to his Kotobukiya.

Personally I like everything except the head sculpt of Magneto. I really like both Phoenix and Thanos. Thanos has so many switchout parts for optional display purposes. Phoenix is just so well done. Hard to choose. It would be nice to see how close or far apart this poll could be.

I've ordered all three, but if it could only be one I'd get Magneto only because it is so incredibly well done. I'm just waiting to pay so it can be headed my way.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Hard to say as there are so few XM pieces actually in collectors hands.
However, based on the pics we've seen so far, if I had Thanos and Phoenix in my collection, I think I would trade them both for Magneto. It really does look that good.

All look like they will be great but Magneto appears to be in a class of his own imo.

To me it's between Mags and Thanos. I'd pick Thanos because to me at least I think he looks a little better than Mags.

Magneto without hesitation.
The creative genius of the Sentinel hand throne, execution, sculpt, paint app and detail makes this the total package for me.
I believe he will hold the most value because the story the base tells gives this the presence of a diorama in a single piece.
