How is that? its a statue..Didn't what to start something here,I have over 40 Bowen statues and love them all. For me only.. The koto mag wins no matter what you can complain about it. I could pick on the Bowen mags too but I won't.I wish I had the XM one.

The face sculpt turned me away. Aside from that its an awesome pose. One of my tougher decisions b/t bowen action and koto. Both are great.

It's a great Jim Lee representation, just as the Bowen Magneto is inspired by a different style. I really like the Bowen Magneto that hovers over a Sentinel hand.

I will say that Bowen's X-villains are on the whole UNBELIEVABLE. Sinister is one of their Top 5 of all time IMO. I also love Apocalypse, Mojo, and Stryfe. Even the ones that I feel could be improved like Omega Red and Sabretooth are SOLID.

Agreed. My only issue with the X-villians is Stryfe's pose, upsets me b/c its so damn similar to koto mags.

Agreed. I put Apoc on top ten Bowen FS of all time

ah! i said dont kill me koto fans and you attack!!! just kidding! we all love our statues...thats cool. is koto magneto a statue or a diorama? if its a diorama they should have more than just 2 chunks of debris attached.That effect looks kinda cheesey to me. He should be raising it in front of himself and look as if he is using the debris some how. why is it just hanging on his cape like that? its not doing anything. be cool if they went with a lot more pieces of debris in the diorama.

Well... I get your point but the statue is a lot more Awesome in person then pictures can show.Now for the complaints..The Diaper is on the Bowen too and for it being to muscular.. a little but who cares ( if you look at the picture its same build as Mr Sinister) and it happens a lot with statues.Now for the debris? Yea, I can think of a lot of better ways to display that but I also see what they were trying to PULL..LOL. My only complaint is? you can display him without them but the one has a permanent peg in the cape that should have been removable like the other one.The paint job is one of the best on a koto and for that I love it.

I did just see it live recently in queens. Its not bad at all,but did you just say that one of the pegs is attached to the cape? I didnt think about that! come on guys...thats kinda lame isnt it? I really dont see the diaper effect on the bowen statue.
