scored the exclusive for less than retail !
Where?
seeing this everyday...I have to say I actually now think I prefer this to the XMen grail Magneto...I smile every day that I walk into my office and see it.
After sideshow tweaked this piece and made their changes from the prototype, I think it turned out very well. It's a solid looking statue. If they would've released it in his classic costume, I would've been all over it. However, I own the XM Mags and absolutely love it. It has a modern costume on it and I didn't want or need 2 modern takes on the character. If I didn't already own the XM Mags, I would've certainly POd this MAQ. As it stands, I'm still waiting on a classic 1/4 Lee/Byrne styled Mags. I can see why you're enjoying the MAQ though. It's a good looking statue.
If I had the XM one I would have skipped this for sure. Costumes do not bother me as long as I can identify the character...I am not one hung up on comic accurate for statues and I do not collect movie based ones. I 100% get why people are into eras and comic correct statues...I like my Conan by Frazetta and Boris...
I'm debating on waiting for a more classic costume as well, do you think Sideshow or Prime 1 would make one or will this be the closest version? (I'm priced out of XM and they're probably done after making 2 Magnetos)

Prime 1 Mags ain't happening. Your choices are the two XM, the new 1/3 they're collaborating on, the Sideshow or finding a custom that isn't a) really expensive or b) ugly as hell.
P1 only interested making 1/2 and 1/3 scale... Once in the blue moon, they would make 1/4.

But, more importantly they don't own the Marvel license. The three pieces they made (Venom, Anti-Venom and Spidey 2099) were all in collaboration with Sideshow and using their license to produce these pieces.
Exactly! Sideshow controls the 1/4 game in North America and it looks like they kicked P1 and their 1/4 Marvel statues to the curb. There haven't been any 1/4 P1 Marvel pieces in a long time.
So it goes back to SS.... In that case it's less likely you will see P1 1/4 Mag.But, more importantly they don't own the Marvel license. The three pieces they made (Venom, Anti-Venom and Spidey 2099) were all in collaboration with Sideshow and using their license to produce these pieces.
Probably because P1 was out selling them![]()
Either way, sideshow would be cannibalizing their own sales by letting P1 sell their 1/4 pieces in North America. I'm sure they realized this and that's why they shut them down. Why share profits when you have a monopoly in NA? Did they already pull the 1/4 DC license yet? If not, I can see that coming soon as well.

Why do they let Iron Studios do it though?
