I agree. This "jumps the shark" in terms of price LOL!

I don't think so, but I believe the tweaks are going to be limited to the collar, cape and some paint apps. I don't think the sculpt is going to be changed.

He's more of a cosplay real person magneto thank hyper muscular comic style. So depends on what style you like.

I think you are right. And if that's all I think ill pass. However if they gave him comic accurate purple briefs that might get me over the line.

I know its been said but I don't know why Sideshow takes artistic liberties that no one wants. The Green Goblin PF was another example with the exclusive goggle wearing version canceled.

I agree. Small artistic liberties aren't a problem. However, sideshow seems to have lost their minds and wants to get into the costume design field. The Magneto and Deathstroke PFs are perfect examples of what collectors don't want. Too many liberties taken in the costumes of those characters. After waiting over a decade for a 1/4 Mags PF from sideshow, what made them think that collectors didn't want a classic representation of the character? Instead, we get this. How utterly disappointing.

I think Sideshow should cut their losses on this one, offer at a competitive price, and with a limited run. This would drive demand, not the statue itself.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

If only sideshow had the cleverness of releasing a cool looking classic Byrne/Lee Magneto....this piece would sell like crazy.

1/4 magneto: XM 2 - SS 0

I'm starting to think SS should leave the X-Men to XM

Not that i'm comparing or anything, even though businesses should compete for the customer dollar.

Atleast SS bodied XM captain marvel and thanos with theirs though.

No no no. Lol. XM might have the characters but SS has the swag. No competition.
They both have awesome statues though.
I would rather have an option from both companies.
