Magneto 1/4 AoA version

Thanks! It's been a couple of years by now.

Can I ask a serious question on this piece (and I'm not trying to sound rude at all). Why is his hair green?

 

[DarthChrisDK]

The base color is grey. But there are hints of a warmer grey that may come off as green. I can't really say why, but I'd say that it looks decent under normal conditions.

Well, congrats again and thanks for sharing.

A great looking people. That face sculpt is top notch, IMO.

The hair color didn't phase me at all from the pics, FWIW.

Is it just me that think his head is too small for his body?

 

[NorthernLadMSP]

It's not just you.

That head was an add on to the two that come with the statue originally. It did come out smaller than desired. The other two heads are to scale.

Yeah and that AoA helmet looks way better anyway.

There's three head sculpts? Has someone posted pics of the third yet (or have pics)?

Is this the same one? Loved this story but didn't like that there was too much red when they gave him the red cape for the AoA design

 

[Chapter 2099]

Yeah, that should be the third head sculpt. (I think.) Looks different than the others. I like it actually.

I see what you mean about red, but at least it's faithful to the source material.

Good thing ...cause I thought I was seeing things.

Ah got it. Didn't know that.

Yeah, I remember playing X-Men Legends 2 Age of Apocalypse and when I unlocked the AoA skin for him, I was excited but then I remembered too much red from the comics and didn't like it as much

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Yea, the third headsculpt is a few percentages smaller than the other ones (the one I've shown). Still, I have come to like it more than the two other options. I initially got invested in this due to the unmasked head, and it does look gorgeous, but the third one with the iconic helmet just does it for me.

Ugh. I forgot about that game. Memories.....

I remember playing the first, but can't remember if I ever played/finished the second.

I think mine glitched out in the 4th or 5th act, whichever was the Egyptian temple stage, impossible to finish without restarting

What? Seriously???

There were no save points?

I think we didn't realize there was a glitch and we did something wrong, couldn't figure out how to proceed, and ended up saving it. Never saved a 2nd game or backup or anything unfortunately.

It seems like games were so much harder back then, compared to now. Each gen console seems to get a little easier (not always the case), but I find myself breezing through many of the games easier than I once did.
