Here’s a couple of protoype pics, unpainted and painted, from the Art Asylum blog of the upcoming Marvel Select Magneto. I first saw this figure at Toy Fair – he’ll come with both interchangeable heads, with and without his helmet.
Because He’s EVIL
Really, it explains everything about this newest addition to the Marvel Select line. Why does he look like he’s about to destroy everyone? Why is he standing over the wreckage of the X-Mansion? Why does he have such an angry look? Why is his back turned when clearly someone is trapped in the rubble? The answer to all of these questions is “Because he’s EVIL” Well, truth be told, the whole arm-of-Colossus thing on the base is because yours truly is a little whcked in the head and felt like having some sick fun with the fans (I guess this means I’ll have to do a Colossus Select figure as a future make-good, huh?). The Master of Magnetism is sculpted by Gabriel Marquez and painted by Ed Wires.
