XM & Legendary Beasts Studios 1:3 Magneto

[Storm Lover]

Would love to see a 1/3 STORM. Doesn't matter what outfit, I'm down for it.

Premier Edition it is!

I've come around to fully love this. All the issues I had were addressed, save for the fact that the levitating effect isn't absolutely convincing...unless you go with the aura sphere. Otherwise, he's just standing on a satellite. I'm aware this piece is probably heavy as hell, so making his attachment point more precarious could be a problem.

Still roided, but his Popeye forearm looks toned down, or at least better painted. Normal paint app between piping. Great use of metallics. Sphere was adjusted and blue/purple blend with pearlescent effect looks awesome. Portraits all well done.

It has incredible details on it without sacrificing the classic vibe of it. Passing on this is beyond difficult for me.

+1 the time has come and gone for me wanting 1/3 scale marvel pieces. the display logistics are just not very forgiving, i would have to give up too much to make it work

awesome piece though, the musculature is a bit over the top for my personal taste but looks nicely sculpted. the helmet / portrait are perfect though, definitely getting a strong lee vibe

It's not cold cast porcelain this time? But prestige polystone? Whatever that is?

Cold cast porcelain is a made-up term, and an oxymoron. It was always resin or polystone.

This Magneto is pure sex. Thank goodness I'm up to my ying yang with Star Wars.

Why'd this statue have to be so good?!?!

My inner conversation is going something like this:

"Mags is my favorite villain of all time"
"... but it's 1/3 scale and you don't collect that"
"... but it'll look awesome paired with that HD Aluminum SS Print you got"
"... but it's gonna cost ya around $2K w/shipping"
"... but I really want it"

Good, it's not just me having the exact same conversation 😁 I just love this so much, what a home run.

Literally me!!! I only have Dioramas... Yet, here we are!

This came together nicely. I wasn't all that impressed with the unpainted previews, but nice work.

[Force of Nature]

Man, this sure is an absolutely stunning piece... wow, it's truly magnificent!
I do not have the room for it anymore and am happy with the Magneto pieces which I have but otherwise i would have been really tempted to pull the trigger on this statue.
