I am not as huge of a MAGS fan as some here...BUT I realize everyone (including myself) has been yelling for a good SS Magneto statue & SS Juggernaut statue forever. I have to honestly say after waiting so long, that I am overall disappointed with this piece as the near-final Magneto offering. SS is a GREAT company and I truly love their stuff, but this statue is underwhelming...to me. All others who get it...congrats and enjoy. Sadly, I think I gotta pass on this.

I still don't get how people don't like the base...? I get the "oh another sentinel..." thing but this is the best any sentinel themed anything has ever looked. after watching a few videos the level of detail is immense, you can tell thought was put into every square inch of it

I understand and hear the other critiques, this sculpt really works for me but I get how it might not for others. call me a fanboy if you want, don't care - I always come across as gushing about stuff because I try to avoid negative critiques or complaining about stuff; I usually just don't say anything when I don't like something. I love this hobby and art form, im impressed as hell with what these artists are able to accomplish

admittedly I was hesitant at first about the portrait but after watching a few videos im 100% back on board. maybe they will do a classic variant for you other fellas

check out the base detail in Ehollywoods video:

I agree. The base is cool and deformed in spectacular fashion.

I'm still taking issue with the paint app, on the helmet like I said, but also with the suit now (in watching more videos). As is, it appears more 'vinyl', plastic-y, and less leathery. I'd hope for the latter. Maybe just more shading/shadowing?

Yeah, this is what the PF could/should have looked like. If only SSC hired Daniel Bel to do the Mags PF.

It's right there IMO.

Don't expect much out of this line. Sideshow will do a few pieces then abandon it like they have every other X-MEN line they've done. Astonishing COM line...kaput and Lee PF line...MIA. Just a matter of time before this line of X-MEN with made up costumes vanishes as well.

I'm a HUGE fan of both characters and I'm buying neither. Sideshow blew it with both of them with these ridiculous costumes and cosplay looking statutes.

Magneto.. batman LSF ...

I feel sorry for the Xmen fans really

Yeah, sideshow has done nothing but screw over X-Fans as far as I'm concerned.

Same goes for Wolverine. The only Sculptor to really capture Wolvie was Martin Canale. Severely let down and hoping Prime-1 delivers with their 1/4 scale line.

IMO, the OG XM Mags, Daniel Bel's Mags, and the Koto Mags are all phenomenal sculpts of the character. I personally consider them the very best.
