Premium Format Magneto Countdown

[Mister Ski]

Starting this thread to serve as a countdown to the release of the Premium Format figure of the greatest X-Men villain of all time.

_____________________________________________________

From Ask Sideshow 7/6/2010:

Q: Is there any chance that we will see a Premium Format Magneto in 2010??

A: Not in 2010. The master of magnetism is waiting a bit longer to make his grand entrance.

From Ask Sideshow 8/2/2010:

Q: And, you recently showed us a Magneto Legendary Scale Bust; is it safe to assume we’re getting a PF?

A: As for a Magneto Premium Format – eventually, inevitably, but not 2010 and likely not 2011.

Re: Magneto

I'm hoping that he at least gets a teaser by/during/right after Spook.

Re: Magneto

So this thread was started to discuss a quote in 2010 and got my hopes up for no ____ing reason at all.

Trolling at it's best.

Re: Magneto

we did get the fantastic underwelming LSB & comiquette. No need for Magneto here. How about a Jean Grey or Phoenix instead

Re: Magneto

I need a Magneto PF with Jim Lee style like the rest of the X-Men PFs.

Re: Magneto

Due to Rogue issue, this might be my first Marvel PF. Hoping for 2012!

Good to see others who share the same level of excitement for Magneto. I hope and pray that they do him justice in the PF.
Since the Q&A is over a year ago, I am hoping we hear something within the next couple of months about a pre-order. Come on Sideshow - make it happen.

Frankly and no offense to the ladies in Marvel universe, but as a comic collector of 25+ years, I was always more interested in the male characters as their storylines were more action packed (except perhaps the cool Phoenix saga). Plus my wife would hate a bunch of 2 foot tall perfectly sculpted female bodies all around, besides her own. haha Besides Wolverine, Magneto is my next favorite mutant. And the EX is the simplest. Helmeted head and non-helmeted head.

Most wanted figure period. The world ends in 2012 Sideshow don't keep us waiting. I'd like to die clutching a Magneto PF in my arms.

Your wife is 2 ft. tall?







I kid, I kid.

Magneto is definitely at the top of my bucket list. But I will be very, very surprised if we see him anytime in the next year.

at least in 2011 we're closer to this unseen, unannounced Magnto PF than we were in 2010. Less time to wait...I'm sure at some point they'll do Magneto, but the quote doesn't confirm it's in active production or just a thought.

First, Black Queen was the Jean Grey Comiquette, but SSC confirmed DP in Ask Sideshow

When will we ever see a DARK PHOENIX Premium Format?


In the future, and possibly even the near(ish) future. Less than a semi-decade, to be certain!

--------------------------

This at least confirms she's in active production if it's near(sh) future, altough we don't know if that means it's a sculpt in progress or still a sketch. I'd guess prorderup in 2012, shipped in 2013.

But I probably wouldn't pass up a Magneto PF, unless the sculpt isn't good. Storm, Nightcrawler and Jean/Phoenix have my priority.

When it's time to sign up.

Sign me up!
