Seriously. How hard can it be? They have customers that tell them EXACTLY what they want and still find a way to mess things up. Unbelievable.

One of the worst magneto statues i've seen, you can google magneto statue and come up with something better than what SS produced.

Exactly. Now we are getting a whole new line of X-MEN PFs in costumes that nobody likes. I feel sorry for collectors that pick up this and Wolvie. There'll probably be one or 2 more PFs in this line before SSC dumps it and then they'll be stuck with a handful of X-MEN PFs with terrible costumes.

Most definitely.

Exactly. It's the Magneto comic fans know and expect. For me it's Byrne or Lee Mags FTW. Take your pick. If there are collectors here that want a scrawny wrinkled dude with man boobs for their Mags, wait until a Ian McKellen Mags PF is released. I want classic comic statues all day, every day.

Who is complaining about the base? Only in theme should people maybe poke fun (I did), because in execution is the best part of this statue!

Yea, we are pretty used to it by now. Just like FOX and the movies, every couple of years we get a medoicore-to-great item and think it's all turning around. Only wait...it is all a twisted joke to keep us coming back, giving us hope.

Example of the movie: DOFP.

Example of an XMan statue: Dark Phoenix (stunning and flawless)

Some photos from Toyark. I like these photos much better.

The base is atrocious. I dislike this statue on so many levels its disheartening that SS would even put this out.

This is nothing short of Deathstroker disappointing for me.
