The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The best Magneto statue I've ever seen.

Congrats to Erick for knocking this one out of the park

Ok, sorry for the delay and apologies in advance for some poor shots. I'm makin it a point to get a better camera.

I always wanted a Jim Lee style based Magneto statue, but not many companies or sculptors managed to translate his artwork from 2D to 3D well. Some just say Lee's art can't be made into 3D. Erick Sosa has done an incredible job at bringing this Magneto into the realm of sculpted comic characters. You can recognize that it was based on Lee's artwork, but you also notice Erick Sosa's own artistic touches to the statue. It's magnificent.

I compared the head to the same series Wolverine, it's in scale.
Off hand, Mags's head looks a bit smaller.
But it's definitely slightly smaller than your regular 1/6 Hot Toys head ala Tony Stark.

Anyhow, the debris are not magnetic pieces. You attach them to the pegs on the cape and leg. If you don't attach the debris, the silver peg juts out from the edge of the cape like a sore thumb.

I just set this Master of Magnetism for quick shots. He is going back in the box after this because the Master of Magnetism demands that he has his own custom ordered glass display case like the one I gave my Hot Toys Wolverine.

I just recognized the base as having bits and pieces of the Danger Room series Danger Room hologram projector base.

All in all, this is the best painted piece of Kotobukiya X-Men Fine Art statue so far. All the lines, all the colors, all well painted. No smudges, no smears, no wobbly lines, no paint runs. Excellent!

When I get the display case, and when I display Magneto, I don't know which head to display. Usually I prefer mask off/helmet off to see the full face, but man, the Helmet is just dope....I think I'll go with Helmet on.

"Play time is over. The human era has ended, the Mutant Era has come!"-----Magneto, Master of Magnetism.
