We do lol. I just prefer my character statues to be more dynamic.

Which is why I like the Daniel Bel custom. The pose is excellent. The body sculpt is good. I could nitpick some of the details and there’s elements I prefer on the ss costume better, just as there’s things I prefer on the XM better. But it’s a good statue. I like how it updates the classic costume without going overboard. It got the purple inside the chest plate armor/neck/upper chest correct which ss and XM didn't (they used red). But at the same time I prefer the chest plate to be rounded like XM did, not squared like ss did.

I also prefer the emblem on the front center of the helmet to be purple and not red. Stands out better that way and in most comics it is purple.

I prefer SS pf to bel's magneto, when i think about it SS mags is the 2nd best 1/4 magneto imo, its the spikes on the base that just look kinda not good, hopefully they are removable.

Laughable ES for EX.

Do you guys think there is any possibility at all of a custom sculpted cape for this statue when it comes out? Or would that just lead to leaning issues given the pose of the piece?

If its a heavy sculpted cape, then I can see leaning issues later down the line. Unless of course the heavy cape balances out with the statues weight and Mag's right leg acts as the balancing point.

A light sculpted cape is a better bet to prevent leaning issues.

I don't think I've ever seen a custom sculpted cape replacing a fabric one (other way around, yes). You'd need peg slots to anchor the sculpted cape into the body, the engineering would be a challenge since the body design for a fabric cape would lack these slots (see the Prime 1 Hush superman as a proxy).

With that said, I don't think the cape on this is a deal breaker. As long as the body is full sculpt I can live with a nice fabric cape that can be posed well. The Iron Studios Darth Vader is a perfect example, and heck that won statue of the year in 2017!

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't mind the fabric cape on here either. I think people are making WAY too big a deal out of it. I would have preferred sculpted but this fabric cape is just fine. Was just curious at the prospect of a custom, but you're right, the engineering would be a challenge. Didn't think of that.

Unless there is a long rod running up the body of Mags, I would not add a sculpted cape, unless the custom cape comes with a strategically placed support. You would think statues with sculpted cape factor's in the additional weight, so the statue would be strengthen to support it, but since this comes with a fabric cape a may only have sufficient support for it.
