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

[highlander1]

Finally took some photos of him.

No mods on the helmet and I still haven't ironed out the cape. I basically posed it as-is with some minor futzing.

Minor issues aside, I really really really love this guy. I've always wanted a Fassbender Magneto, so I'm really happy that Toys Era took to the challenge in making one themselves.

GREAT PIC'S Very happy to have mine fly in a couple week's.

I just realised, I maybe kinda need an X-team.

Thanks! I love him, and though he's not perfect, he's still a great figure.

You could do that with a small ball bearing if you had a small magnet to hold it from the rear.

Mutant and proud.....NO MORE HIDING

I guess no body got the joke. I posted the pic without his helmet because we all agree the headsculpt sucks but as Magento says "mutant and proud...NO MORE HIDING" LOL

Wondering if anyone pulled the trigger on gluing the helmet to his cheeks to obtain the proper look.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I intend on gluing the helmet, I just haven't done it yet. Probably will in the next day or so.

Normally I don't irreversibly change a figure, but I'll never display without the helmet.

I'm contemplating the same thing. What type of glue are you thinking about using? Are you going to just glue the helmet straight to the cheeks?

But what if a better (& affordable) Fassbender sculpt is released? Wouldn't you want to glue the helmet to that one?

 

[nexus]

These are looking not bad. I have to figure what all is out there and then start picking some of them up. HT ain't going to do them, and it looks like the Apocalypse line won't be getting anything either so one-offs with some custom heads may be the only hope.

I used Loctite. I put some dots of glue on his cheeks and top of his head. It's not perfect, probably won't be without shaving off some of the sculpt... But it's tight against his cheeks now.

Awaiting Thanos

 

[highlander1]

Finally paid off and on the way. I cant tell you guy's how many time's almost bought the medicom Magneto STOKED to have this version still undecided if want old Magneto version. I hate that they all get released around same time. Anyway again cant wait.

get em both! i had to have old magneto no matter what. i have been waiting 15 yrs for him. but fassbenders dofp costume is too sweet to pass . and he goes nicve with wolvie. but i hear ya. sooo many soo fast

 

[highlander1]

Yep i most likely will because a favorite actor and need a Gandalf and Magneto and Charles in collection. They brought X-MEN TO LIFE. As much of hate get's thrown around for the film's i ABSOLUTELY LOVED ALL the Perfect Casting in my opion. I hope CYCLOPS gets done next. I never was a huge Avengers fan but like everyone have them all mostly. Again my Biggest want has ALWAYS been X-MEN franchise.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yeah they where great castings. I can recall in the mid 90s there was a comic/nerd magazine called Wizard World (they do the cons now if someone didn't know, but back in the day they had two really good magazines) and they would do these dream castings for comic movies (that they would make sure to say would probably never happen) and the xmen one they did had Patrick Stewart. I think I still have the magazine somewhere...

Here it is...

 

[highlander1]

Yep Wizard World the price guide and info everything in comic's. I stopped collecting comic's but Wizard world book i always picked up. Ha ha thanks for the deleted memory MOTUXMEN. I do need to get back into my comic's again enjoy the great artists and storys. Also if anything Love adding to my display with my figures. I remember X-men had very cool Magneto X-MEN bunch of differnt covers that made a very cool big poster if bought ALL the differnt cover's. Again Stoked to finally have MAGS fly in very soon.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Anyone remember ToyFare?

My thinking is that the headsculpt swelled when it was being moulded. It's definitely too wide to be accurate for Fassbender.
I picked up a couple of heads from TA but the width of the sculpt is putting me off making a custom Eric. So I dremelled one head so it was almost empty of material. It let me push the headsculpt in and get a better likeness. It looks a lot better than the standard head. Inalsobreckob this will be the solution for people who reckon the face is pushing the helmet open.
I'll post pics later when I get home.
