My only hope is in the future we get a more bulky 90s Magneto. Jim Lee made him look like a linebacker.
Best Magneto fig ever, marvel legends could never 🔥😤

Awesome review as always UU!!! Especially loved all the different head swaps, so many options is right.
Leaving a comment for how dope and insightful the review is.
I love this figure but damn, Mafex uses the same face on every figure!- lol it’s downright funny how so many diff figures have the same base face sculpt.
Bro, that boxing pose was dope!
Awesome review, man! Well worth the wait!
I've got the ML on preorder--but this figure is SO tempting.
+1 on a Mafex Beast! Might have to pick this Magneto up after all smh. The blacked out head sculpt just does it for me. Well done 👏
Im going to say, you and others are both right AND wrong about the accuracy of this costume to the AoA storyline. This was his look in the earlier part of the story. The more popular bulky armor look came later.

It seems to me that a lot of the AOA looks were at least someone up to interpretation by the artists. They were all close to being on model, but there were definitely variations here and there.
thanks for reviewing I couldn't find a review for this specific mares magneto figure. I appreciate it just bought it for 77 on sale and ilm so hyped.
Damnit, now I'm considering this. I wasn't gonna get this cause I'm okay with the Mezco and it isn't the classic look to make me wanna go import price, but he looks great with that blacked out head. The was one of my favorite looks for him. Add a purple cape and blacked out face and boom. And I think.... the Old Man Hawkeye head would look great on this.
Great review of bro of a really good looking figure! Might have to get him
I love this figure sadly I had to prioritize other figures so I had to pass on him for now but I'm hoping to jump on him at some point, this review was beautifully shot, hes really camera friendly
Dude your intro rules btw. Love

The other difference is the lack of purple trunks, just the belt, with the other AoA design. But the look Mafex went with is AoA comic accurate. It's not as iconic, but they were drawn like this as well.

@@UnparalleledUniverse Glad they went with this since the Legends has the quintessential AoA look. Just in case (like you mentioned), if they never make one/it'll take forever to come out, I can always pop a custom purple cape on. Maybe paint the helmet emblem too. Just opened my Gambit, and good lord it's _amazing_ and fun! I don't even play around with figures like that, but the smell alone of it gets me excited.

how did you fix the cape? I have the same problem on the same side and it is driving me mad. I don't want to start pulling and breaking it. So any insight would be great.
What kind of ğlue did you use for the leg joint?
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone made a purple cape for him it’d be super easy to make this a classic Magneto
Great review. I like the personal insights you give. One off topic question for you though. Who did that dope ass beat you put at the end of your videos recently? The one playing over your user name. It has a Gramatik vibe. Sorry if I’m late to the game on this. New subscriber.
Great review. I passed on the figure though it does seem like an solid release. I always thought it was so random they decided to go with the AOA design, I mean yeah, they can re-release a classic Magneto down the line, but considering their initial releases were Uncanny X-Men designs this is a weird decision to make Magneto from a different timeline.
great video
I think Mafex does a really good job with it's head sculpts.👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
The front ponytails are easy enough to cut out of the helmeted heads, bringing the look that much closer to a classic Magneto
This Magneto is awesome I reviewed it too. Unfortunately some Mafex figures come with small imperfections. So yea sorry to hears your came out that way. But on the bright side I also have the Mafex Gambit which I reviewed as well and I must say. Daaaaamn Good Figure! Honestly it's probably going to be my number 1 figure of the year, that's how good it is.

To be fair it’s technically not a 90 dollar figure. It’s a around the 70 dollar amount if you were to pick it up straight from the source. The import and shipping fees is what makes the price go up. On AmiAmi the figure cost 68.84 with shipping it’ll be about 80 if not a little less with the fastest shipping.

So are we getting more AoA characters? 😅
I'm sure it's not 100% AoA because they're going to reuse the arms and legs for a classic Magneto. They re-make the same character a lot. We've gotten a ton Batman and Spider-Man figures. Even with the X-Men you showed, they've also got a brown suite Wolverine and an X-Factor Cyclops. So I'm sure a classic Magneto is coming eventually. This figure does look awesome. But for the price, I'll wait for the MAFEX classic version and just use the Family Matters Marvel Legend for now.
I would’ve liked to see how the figure came out of the package before you modified it, rather than you tell us what issues you had off camera before the recording. For objective reviewing purposes. Great job though and thanks for the awesome content.
Why cant any toy companies just give us some silver painted rocks or something to look like magnetized trash for him to throw?

If you use an import site you'll probably spend less than that but these are pretty worth the price
Bummer, the figure isn't accurate to the source material. If they were going to change it this much, they should have just made the normal Magento.
I've thrown so much money at MAFEX figures over the last year it's not even funny.
use this comment as a place to express what next you wanna see from mafex or you think theyre doing next
The more I look at this figure the more I feel this design was chosen deliberately by Mafex. I think they plan on releasing a classic Jim Lee Magneto very soon, using the majority of this mold. They have to know the more armored Magneto design is more evocative of the AOA storyline. Choosing a design so similar to the classic look had to be a calculated decision to save on mold costs.

Mafex being mafex. Those fixes are great… until you duck it up and ruin the figure. I’ve had to do couple of those myself … Not acceptable IMO These guys are killing it on the comic book based character headsculpts tho!
those ML head sculps are atrocious

Mafex can be pricey and Mezco definitely have better QC although they too still have a few duds, but keep in mind, Mafex are a Japanese company and the added price is down to sellers mark ups and import shipping. In Asia it would be the other way around. You might not agree with this figure, but Mafex's Spider-Man's (especially in articulation) are definitely superior to Mezco's. Besides some people have a preference for plastic rather than a fully soft clothes figure. And Mafex undoubtedly do the most iconic Marvel and DC comicbook design and storyline figures at this moment.
