That's somewhat inaccurate. It's well known that red is the most susceptible to UV light, and guess which color Magneto is mostly?

Purple and blue aren't far behind, but the only reason for such a disclaimer is that they knowingly used an inferior paint for the purple.

Even red paint can be made to higher standards, so this purple absolutely should.

That said, it's all somewhat moot. Avoiding UV should be a priority for any collector.

Agree, to a point. The problem is, even just having a window in a room can constitute a light source. It doesn't have to be direct sunlight hitting the piece. For me to display a statue in windowless room, Mags would have to be on my toilet

Sounds just where the one you got belongs.

Reminds me of a recent vid from DT, he didn't have anywhere good to display it, so he put this massive 1/4 scale Sinister Six dio in a bathroom shower

Hilarious, ridiculous and genius all at the same time.

At least he's got the print to match...helps tie it all together

I think you give Koto too much credit but yeah...I guess they didn't have to say anything.
