On a side note: Huge Credit to Sideshow if they are truly making noticeable adjustments due to collector feedback. This Mags is an instant sellout even if it were a 7.5/10 (or less - who knows). It's Magneto!

They could've rolled this beast out, as is, following their routine of not changing anything of value after unveiling to the public, but they're going back and doing right by Magnus and his rabid fan base.

Here's to hoping the changes push it into legend status

I'm not saying they picked up Bel to save this Mags. I'm saying they picked up Bel for a future Mags project. (Even though Sideshow denies it)

I hope so ...I truly hope so.

I already liked the one they showed, so it can only get better

For me, it would be a buy if they adjusted his head angle, reworked his face( maybe the head sculpt looks better without the helmet idk but from what i see, not a fan) and attach his chest plate/collar to the body, also i found the leg that attaches to the base to be a bit at an awkward angle. I'm with northern on not liking fabric capes but what can we do....As long as the body and head sculpt holds up i'll be happy. I'm desperate for a mags lol.

I mean how do you have the best face sculptor and overall sculptor in the industry imo and xm creates a better face sculpt... This is twilight zone sh#t.

.....they did it twice actually....or i guess 4 times technically.

Maybe its not so twilight zone after all

The full reveal for the companion Wolverine PF makes me very excited for what Magneto COULD be. I wish we could get updates, but I know we're lucky that we're even getting changes so I won't ask for too much.

STILL, as nice as Wolverine is, seeing updated Magneto will be pivotal for collectors deciding whether to commit to this line.
