I wanted this for ages and thought it would at least be nearly as cool as XM but this piece is not even cooler than the comiquette and is likely the same scale. It is so plain and the opposite of Dyanamic and cool it must for sure just be a cash grab for suckers and the real Magneto statue will come out in another years or so. No way this was even the 3rd best sculpt on there desk in the last 6 years, best to produce the lame one and sell it out then release a great dynamic sculpt later. Cant see any other reason for something so plain with no WOW factor at all.

So the goal is to release ANOTHER magneto in a few years? Do you see how long it takes to touch any character that isn't AAA? Than add in the Xmen / Marvel hold up and that its a dude, This is it for SSC and Magneto for a long time.... IMO

It'll look too dumb if you blacken out the face because you'll see nothing but a big black nose sticking out past the helmet. It was one of the minor nit-picks I had about the helmeted sculpt on XM's and now Sideshow has done the same thing on their new PF. Had Sideshow and XM sculpted the helmets in the same fashion as Koto's 1/6th and Sideshow's own Comiquette, you'd have definitely been able to pull off that blacked-out comic face. Vince Vell did a terrific job blackening out the face for the Koto Mags and the Sideshow Comi, because the helmets were sculpted in a way that didn't allow for the face to protrude past their mandibles. He made vids of both custom paint jobs.

That's a really good point man, thanks. It would totally stick out and look bad. Would have to file the nose and mouth down. Personally, I dislike the helmeted head and would take a chance with that. Of course, if the EX head is awesome.

Sadly, you are probably correct. I was just hoping after passing on the XM as I was sure Sideshow would do one as cool/better and missed out on deals on the XM when it was new. Now I am stuck looking elsewhere for a Magneto which after waiting years for just sucks.

IMO, classic is classic and Magneto deserved the classic treatment with SS' first attempt.

Spot on Demona. Give us the classics first. After that, I don't care what costume is used.

I really like the base. I'm sure if mag was sculpted with more musculature everybody would buy this

Yeah I was at SDCC and i thought it was fantastic. I haven't been on the forums so I'll have to read what people don't like. Not going to change my view Day 1 pre-order.
