Review Scores:

I will provide the review scores here shortly...for now, please watch the video review on the YouTube channel (link provided above, or click the red YouTube link at the top right corner of the page).

Sculpt: 8.5 / 10
Tons of detail on the Sentinel, great "superhero" physique on Magneto...there is lots to like here.

Paint:8.5 / 10
Nice metallic sheen to the Sentinel armor, nice glossy finish on Mag's helmet, decent shading on his body, the cape could use some additional shading, nice vibrant colours used throughout.

Design: 10 / 10
Excellent battle scene created here, as MAgneto puts the finishing touches on the destruction of this Sentinel. Iron Studios is continuing with their high level of creativity.

Production & Build Quality: 9.5 / 10
Tons of weight, effective light-up feature, parts fit together securely and snugly, nice packaging, an overall great presentation with a high quality feel.

Overall: 9.1 / 10 (EXCELLENT)
I highly recommend this piece. It's an action-oriented design with tons of presence. Whether you're an X-Men fan, a 1/6 scale fan, both, or neither , this piece can have a spot in your collection.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I'm not sure what the statue is going for now, it's sold out, I believe. Pre-order prices that I saw ranged from $550 to $650, depending on how early you ordered. But, anyone outside of Brazil has to buy on the secondary market.

Great YT review, I like it. I am the lucky owner of one of these, and I am real pleased with this statue. I pre ordered this via Paulo Feitoza (on the other forum) and I paid $550 for it. Currently one for sale on eBay for around $990.
