After watching this video, I will say he does look a tad better than in the photos.
However, I am still not feeling the costume at all for these reasons:
1. The collar piece (unsure of the technical term) looks like it's just floating there instead of actually part of the costume.
2. The helmet looks too smooth and plain compared to the detailing on his body suit, which leads me to the whole "cheap plastic" look I stated earlier. The helmet also looks a tad large, which makes it appear his head is a tad too large for the slightly slender body. Maybe an unmasked head will fix that illusion.
3. The belt is just bad, there's not much more to say on it.
4. I saw a side-by-side on Facebook of this piece and the new white XM Magneto. I will preface this by saying this is NOT a dig on Sideshow nor is it a dig on XM. But, the pattern/texture on both Magneto's is almost identical, as are the shape of the gloves and boots.
5. And this is a big one for me - while I have no issues with a fabric wired cape, this particular one just looks to be the antithesis of epic to me.
