XM Studios Magneto

[RagingBull]

My magneto (#63) is shipping today! Shouldn't take too long to get to Australia from Singapore. I'll definitely be adding a video to the pool of reviews on this baby!

Congrats bro I'm getting 54. Mine is getting sent out Fri so I should get it if lucky Monday but most probably Tuesday

Anyone have the inside scoop on when the next batch of emails might be sent out? I just want to hurry up and pay for the thing so I can sleep better at night lol

I Love that Erick is doing an Alternate Younger Magneto Head. When I got mine I was wondering what made XM decide on an Older Magneto and thought a Younger Alternate Magneto Head would have been a really cool bonus. Hope Erick will maybe make a few available. Then it would be nice to see someone make a Fassbender Head or even an Ian Head.

Ha. Pretty sure it's 50 statues every week, so I assume next week you'd hear something if you're in that batchm

The Magneto head is based on Fassbender already...you don't see the resemblance?

 

[TheWhatWhatNow]

I don't see the resemblance at all. Were you just kidding? If they were shooting for an Older Fassbender then I think they missed.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

He's kidding.

This figger is catching crazy hype on eBay;

Nice Vid.....

For me Edition Size won't keep me from buying something I like BUT I would prefer if it had a low edition size for these reasons

1) If I had to sell it's nice to know I'm not going to lose 50% of the statue's value
2) It's fun to own a statue you like that is pretty rare. No offense Bruce but looking at your statue collection behind you, there's really nothing there that impresses me that I haven't seen in thousands of other collections.... That's the problem with say a 10k ES.... IMO

Chin's collections fails to impress because there is no MARVEL

I get what Chin is saying... I also understand that feeling of having one of few... I had a JAWS item that was 1 of 75... I had a Godzilla item that was 1 of 10... It was cool.... BUT I sold the JAWS item for an item that looked better and had no ES and I sold Godzilla because I was happier with my other Godzilla items..

In the End, for me, it's about the Quality of the piece and the price it can be had for. XM puts out some quality pieces... If they put out a piece of a character I loved then I think I would probably find the price to be fair... So far they have only done Hulk and I am not a fan of that piece..

I am not sure where my price limit is exactly... It would have to be something very special for me to go over 1000.00.... However knowing that there was only 500 of a piece instead of 5000 would make it easier to justify because I would know it would be hard to get ahold of in the future.

However low edition sizes have one big negative...... FLIPPERS.... Many fans end up going without because of these guys and that SUCKS... That is the nice thing about higher ES sizes... All the fans have a chance at owning something special to them.

Anyways... I like Chin's collection... I am sure he loves it... Many of those pieces has good edition sizes.. SS has only gone crazy with Edition sizes since the started doing DC... Then everything blew up... However CHIN NEEDS SOME HULK IN HIS COLLECTION! He should start with the KING!

Anyways... This Magneto piece is very nice... NO WAY would I pay secondary prices for this... I don't now if there is anything out there I would pay those prices for.. But it is impressive... It's probably the first XM piece that has really blown me away. I like some of the others and so far I like Wolverine (he looks to be the next special xm piece)... But Magneto has been the one that has been released and stands away from the pack both in sculpt and paint apps.

Man this is a grail. I just watched MadxCollector's videos and checked eBay prices. Crazy. Lucky for me I don't need a Magneto statue. But this is the one. I can't believe the detail. The original price seems like a bargain now.

Jaws I recall reading you going on about how about PH Hulk was. Now it's up for sale?

 

[jye318]

I never like magneto, but this is a piece of art to me, just like doom pf, never like them.

It's because I got King Hulk also.... Was not sure I had room nor did I need both... However I decided not to sell two days ago.. Because it is a great piece..

King Hulk just kicks it's butt... But Gladiator is still great

Not sure what selling gladiator had to do with what I wrote...

Anyways..

HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

Ah, yeah I can see how you'd be in a crunch for space with those two.

Boy, I know you live in Jerz so don't make me come hit you the stick!

Magneto looks awesome--congrats to those who were able to get one. I wish I could have gotten him at retail because there is no way I'm paying crazy secondary market prices for him. He's just not a character I'm willing to spend $2000-3000 on, no matter how nice the statue turned out. Flippers are probably ecstatic that they finally got a statue that they can make a ton of money on, and I'm sure there are quite a few people considering selling him that wouldn't have considered it a couple months ago.

I agree with Chin on the topic of edition size. I don't care if the company makes 100 or 10000. If I like the piece then I buy it. I also don't care what number I get within that ES. It's a cool little bonus to see a low number when I open a statue, but I'm not searching high and low on the secondary market to get #10 instead of #250 or #250 instead of #1000--and I'm certainly not going to pay someone more money for a lower number.

 

[Takaboi]

Yeah. He's good but I can't see myself dropping 2.5k on this on a 1/4 scale. As we all have seen, companies are stepping up their statue designs and id say in the next few years they will get better and better. In the mean time, I'll just enjoy the pics

That's a fact

David Bowie vibe.

So David is Magneto

 

[nemenforcer]

Would prefer an old Bowie to Ian McClellan

well mine is finally on its plane to the UK. Man to say I'm excited to be getting this is an understatement
