[Toys-Era] DOFP: Master of Magnetism 1/6 scale

[rjszar]

Just got my shipping notice from Toys-Era. Hopefully, they hand checked the pieces before they sent them out since they said there was a delay for QC.

Disappoint

Just received my notice too. I wonder if it will make it here before Christmas... Probably not with all the extra holiday packages

Just got my notice from OSK and paid for the rest of the figure. Here's hoping I don't run into any major QC issues. I'm honestly not too worried about the helmet being loose since it seems like an easy enough fix. Considering the unique costume and all, I'm just glad we're even getting this at all. Now I'll finally have some use for my dynamic stands.

^ Not bad. With regards to the skinny frame, I did see that coming (mentioned it early in the thread when proto pics were revealed) so I'm not too fussed about it.

I'm a bit irked about the lack of color in the helmet. Is that screen accurate? Promo pics were different

 

[rjszar]

I'm probably going to switch out the body. Hopefully something can be done about those unusually long forearms. I doubt the gloves slide up any further and a more muscular type body would probably make it worse. If I have to, I'll cut off part of the forearms on the new body. Don't really know for sure if that is a solution.

 

[The Iron Koob]

Let us know. In considering something similar. My package is in the United States

 

[franpincho]

Those are great looking, heavily ps'd pictures.

As for the actual figure, it looks like ****, sadly.

Bummer for those that wanted a Fassneto.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

At least the helmet can be made to look better, that's what I was worried about after seeing that one pic the other day.

 

[franpincho]

Yeah, I guess it's better than nothing, which applies in this case.

 

[Edub]

Was really hoping this would turn out better. How disappointing

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I think it'll look better when people get it in hand and start messing with it, especially if someone manages to swap for a bigger body.

 

[rjszar]

Obviously we need to see what kind of body this comes with, but what are some good guesses for an appropriate switch out body? Can't be too muscular.

Narrow shoulder knockoff

I don't think the body is small at all since the body type is similar to the TTM-19, which is accurate to Fassbender's body propotion. Plus, w/ the loose placement of the helmet on the head combined with the cape covering most of the figure's shoulders, it gives an illusion of small body propotion. I wouldn't concern so much about that.

Yeah, honestly I think it's more the shoulders really. When people stretch out their arms, their shoulders tend to bulk up, which is what we usually see Magneto do in the film. Obviously that kind of thing is hard to pull off with an articulated figure where the shoulder just slides over, making for a slimmer appearance.

My body is still ready
