If you look at this one you will also see that the right foot has been adjusted from the proto on the right to the production on the left.

Probably because the neck piece isn't pushed down all the way in the one on the right

 

[yeek]

I love looking at these production pics. The closer he gets to completion the more impatient I get...lol.

 

[skillet]

Hmmm...... I don't know that you can say the right is protocol and the left is production. The left one is just place on there and therefore is not "seated" properly without the cape, so his foot position is off. I think both are production.

 

[marker2037]

He definitely not seated all the way back on the one on the left

 

[skillet]

The cape is different though so maybe you're right, spidey. I just wouldn't think they would put a proto out in an exact incomplete stage to be mixed up with production pieces.

Proto pieces are usually on display for paint app purposes. They are visual color references for the factory workers. Don't worry, there's no way that XM releases Mags with his collar that high up.

The foot on the cape bothering people makes zero sense to me.

The cape was definitely changed, so that one with the old cape has to be a proto.

It didn't bother me, but doesn't bother me that it was changed either.

 

[Bmutha]

Is there pics of his helmeted portrait anywhere? I really want to see what that looks like.

Not yet...not that I am aware of. At least not publicly. Of course I have seen it since they run everything through me ahead of time.

 

[SurlyJ]

Yeah it doesn't bother me that it was changed. It really makes no difference to me. I just remember people saying "how will he get up without tripping!?!?" Which I thought was hilarious.

Skillet you need to have faith in my critical eye

Here is a pic of the proto being painted



Note the squarish slightly rough neck peg.

Now if you look at this pic again, note the squarerish and rough neck peg on the right (caped) piece, and the much more cleanly keyed neck on the production piece (without the cape) on the left.


As fillip stated they must have had one of the two prototypes there for a painting reference, and they either took the portraits off so they could get the paint right everywhere, or to maybe avoid damage. All in we are seeing a production on the left I am sure of it. As for it not being seated properly that is because they don't have a painted cape ready for it yet... lol.

Mags doesn't "stand up"...he levitates, ! Standing is for inferior humans.

I definitely agree that the one on the left is a production piece. All signs point to it.

 

[El Mule]

Is his neck going to be red or purple?

I think red.

 

[AC_808]

That was my point, too. More likely he'd levitate.

Yeppers it sure does

Is his neck going to be red or purple?

From the prototype I would say red.

 

[marker2037]

Cape never bothered me but neither does the change. Can't wait to see a finished production piece painted up.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

My body is ready for this piece.
