Diamond already dosen't use the best resin. It feels hard, but it's a little brittle.
I've had statues from them break on me with little effort when dissasembling them, I don't know, this one worries me. I know people are like "(yeah whatever that won't happen to me,)" but I'm sure diamond didn't take the time to make sure he won't lean. Hopefully, his Cape isn't made of their usual resin, because if it is, I can see a LOT of breakages in the future.

It is! I got this one many years ago. I think this is the variant to her modern look at the time. Of course I had to go with the classic look.

Anyone has magneto statue on hand?
I was wondering about the paint apps and the alternate head. I saw the review on youtube that shows the alternate head (without the helmet) doesn't fit nicely to the body. There is a big gap and wobbly. On another video it fits nicely and no gap.

I have the Magneto statue. I would suggest if you have the possibility, to go into a LCS. They might have a few in the store and it gives you the opportunity to choose the best one. Saw 2 at my local LCS. 1 was good and the other not so much.

If your looking for perfect paint apps and great shading this is not the statue to give us that. It's not terrible but not great either.

As for both heads, on mine there are no gaps. The alternate head is a bit wobbly if you play with it but otherwise it sits securily and it won't fall by itself. The other one from the LCS was not a good fit.

Seems like the quality control was not the best for the Magneto statue. But if your lucky and get a good one it's a good looking statue for the price point. I'm happy with my purchase.

Thanks, man. I was thinking about ordering on line but I will wait until I see it in the LCS.


It too bad since the one that was released before it (Cable statue) was stunning and the paint apps on mine is perfect.

These pictures should dispel any notion that the Premier line is 1/6-scale.
