Terrible, I'm sorry SS but I had such high expectations and this hasn't even made me indecisive, I won't even be following progress on it as it's so bad.

Do me a favour though and shoot me and email if you scrap this and Wolvie for a fresh design?

I do t even expect you to hear us on this forum. Oh well.

This is what's gonna happen. Sideshow isn't gonna change anything about this because they know people want a ss Magneto and collectors are gonna buy this version even if it isn't the best one ever. After a couple years when most of them have sold, they'll release a far superior version and then everyone will buy that one, including the people who bought the first. They will double dip and make more money.

Look how many people complained about the Suprrgirl pf. That thing looked terrible and they still went ahead with it even after the backlash from the community.

Yeah but they did actually change the Supergirl's head sculpt and hand. If course most still didn't like the changes but they were made.

They changed the paint job on the head. Didn't make a big difference imo.

If you're right, then we should be expecting a rehash of the Supergirl PF. Hoping you're right just for this.

Then there is the 1/5 scale Evil-Lyn. The original was sold out because of low ES. Right after that, they came out with a variant of it ....and it looks like they fixed the issues that plagued the original while repainting her yellow.

So perhaps you are right. We shall see .....

Buy a custom mags, buy this mags and get it customized or buy XM mags, though if you like this one don't let us dissuade you, a majority of people didn't like the original jean grey pf but i loved it bought 2 of them in fact.

I agree. They'll milk the ---- out of this guy similar to the way they're milking Red Sonja. I wouldn't be surprised to see another SS Magneto teased by the next SDCC. Might even see him in 1/5th. The dude is a money maker. Same with Thanos.
