One2One: Magneto

One2One Collectibles has a number of new offerings, with some from the Wolverine and X-Men tv series. Last week we looked at Wolverine, and today I thought that I would look at Magneto.

Produced By One2One Collectibles
Size 11" Tall
Type Polystone Statue
Edition Size TBD
Release Date Q3 2009
Price $124.99

Zimm's Two Cents
At first glance, I did not like this statue. There is something inherently wrong with his face and helmet. This initial opinion led me to spend the weekend watching Episodes 24 & 25 of the series. Luckily, Episode 24 included Magneto!
Points in Favor
  • The floating action pose with his cape and floating on his toes - classic.
Points Against
  • His face. While I appreciate some aspects of the face, the mouth and nose look 'over done' when compared to the tv series.
  • While the helm matches the series, the scultpting makes his forehead look too flat.
  • The colors neither excite me nor turn me off.
Recommendation: Pass. I have and have seen some better statues then this one, and while the pose captures Magneto, the overall statue doesn't.
