I really like it. I like a big buff Magneto. My only two things I’d change is to cut all that sentinel debris beneath him down by half to lower the overall height and on his collar that metal piece in the middle between his pecs. That things too long.

Otherwise Magneto is my top X-Men character and I’ve waited for a good 1:4 since back in 2010 when I started collecting.

I like this piece. IMO, it's not as good as the XM throne statue but it's better than sideshow's MAQ. Even though it's a modern styled costume, there are some nice classic elements to it. Just the fact that he's wearing his purple trunks lifts this up a few notches for me. That said, I'm still waiting for a true classic Byrne/Lee inspired 1/4 Mags.

Why are people saying this Magneto looks jacked or buffed? Isn't he always like that.. Just look at the Jim lee Magneto drawings.. they all looked jacked.

LBS 1/3 Magneto looks way more jacked than this Dawn of X 1/4, and nobody's saying anything.

Yeah, I was amused a few pages back because one of the complaints about the sideshow maquette is that he isn’t buff enough and didn’t resemble Jim Lee’s version enough. But I guess this one is too large for people.

For me, this statue is decent. A bit confused with the combined Sentinel and Krakoa theme, and the naming is all off since this costume is XM’s take on Magneto’s traditional costume and definitely not Dawn of X. The costume updates are unnecessary. I was never interested in Magneto on Throne but to me the costume on that statue is the guideline and bar for how to successfully update classic costumes. But overall this one is decent.

First thing that came to mind was Onslaught, but I do like the proportions here. The first Magneto comic appearance I remember is a super jacked Lee issue, so I'm good.

Jacked is a Drago/Dolph Lundgren anatomy. This Magneto is a bloated competitor 2 days before he goes into dehydration mode and competes in a show. An arm as big as a thigh is just over the top. The head is swallowed by his body. That’s why we’re saying it. But, this is a fictional character with many iterations that we’re debating over. I guess anything goes.
