RCB Mags is probably about equal to the licensed products, quality-wise. One or two others as well. But most are inferior sculpt/anatomy, or are over-designed monstrosities.

The DelOtto one is intriguing. If I had the extra cash, I'd like that different take on Mags in my collection.

The Bel one is nice, but poorly engineered, and the factory paint isn't great. I think the MAC one is my current favorite, though he may be too muscular for some.

Agree, and shocked when people say its the best magneto. Almost all of them have barely passible to terrible face portraits. Just because they try a new concept/low ES/sculpted cape doesn't make it automatically great.

In the minority but I really dig my Magneto maquette even though I don’t like some of the costume choices. In person the fabric cape and pose look regal as hell.

If White Magneto was the classic costume or at least the Dawn of X/Krakoa version then I’d say it’s the best licensed Magneto. Excited to see what XM comes up with though.

I'm with you on this one, plus the fact that despite all the hate for it, it sold out of its 3750 ES. Still has one of the coolest bases/floating affects.

White XM magneto looks cool, but will have to say the portraits are terrible, I hope the new one is vastly improved.

Exactly, don't over do it and take away from the character. But makes me think your calling out the custom magneto sentinel hand base that has tons of stuff on it, yet people spend 3k + on it yuck.

There's no way they'd do another white costume. I'm guessing it will be more traditional red and purple but in an action pose as the first one on throne was museum.

I think their white suit magneto is one of the best Mags out there. It's my favorite of any company. I just don't think we need another damn Magneto. Especially when there are plenty of other X-Men villains out there to tackle.

If they copied Koto's 1/6 Magneto in the Jim Lee pose that was made several years ago, I'd think about getting it.

Yes, like Mr. Sinister

The WIP was from August 2016...

I'd take a Magneto in his black outfit.

Agree he's well over due, I want XM to do a dio set like Thanos/Lady Death just not as huge of a space hog. Sinister and Goblin Queen dio would be awesome.

But we are also missing Blob and Toad which would make a cool dio then Pyro to finish the brotherhood set (avalanche would be cool but I think he's even more niche)

Sinister and Goblin Queen would be sick. I'd love that and also a comic Loki piece.
