Finally got the time to open up my Bowen Designs Cyclops.

Paint job is a bit on low scores on some parts of the statue. Like on the nose, the gold wrist bands. Could have been better.

Lines are not perfectly straight(the gold lining throughout his costume). A bit wobbly, but not very critical.

The base is silver, and the parts whereby they sprayed some black to give the effect of depth is very coarse to the touch. Not smooth.

Anyhow, overall, I'm happy with it. At least my Bowen Designs Marvel Girl and Jean Grey won't be lonely anymore.

Wow! Local preorder for this 19" polystone Elder Predator is only RM9xx! Fulamak! What a bargain!

Before there was Darth Vader......there was someone more bad ass......there was Darth Malgus of The Old Republic!

I think this will be SideShow's first 1:1 sized Star Wars statue.

Ah yes, Mywii, now I remember, there were the Star Wars droids, 1:1. Thanks. I meant first 1:1 from The Old Republic.

-------------------

AssKicker, the paint job although not perfect is not very critical, so I'm not going to fix it for now. Maybe later or not at all.

All the heads belong to Kotobukiya Fine Art Marvel statues. They all come with alternate heads. I have 3 Hulk heads altogether. 1 was the defected one, 1 was the replacement head they sent me, 1 is an alternate closed jaws version.

I didn't say "Cheap." I said "What a bargain." ^^ And I'm not rich.

Cheers.

My father was and is not rich either. ^^ I didn't have a PlayStation2 until I got my first job after graduating and bought it with my own self hard earned money through sweat and blood.

And you don't have to be rich to buy painted rocks. Example: You can sell off your old toys, comic books or old painted rocks to buy painted rocks. Save money bit by bit every month to buy a painted rock. teach part time tuition etc.....

apologies in advance for some poor shots. I'm makin it a point to get a better camera.

I always wanted a Jim Lee style based Magneto statue, but not many companies or sculptors managed to translate his artwork from 2D to 3D well. Some just say Lee's art can't be made into 3D. Erick Sosa has done an incredible job at bringing this Magneto into the realm of sculpted comic characters. You can recognize that it was based on Lee's artwork, but you also notice Erick Sosa's own artistic touches to the statue. It's magnificent.

I compared the head to the same series Wolverine, it's in scale.
Off hand, Mags's head looks a bit smaller.
But it's definitely slightly smaller than your regular 1/6 Hot Toys head ala Tony Stark.

Anyhow, the debris are not magnetic pieces. You attach them to the pegs on the cape and leg. If you don't attach the debris, the silver peg juts out from the edge of the cape like a sore thumb.

I just set this Master of Magnetism for quick shots. He is going back in the box after this because the Master of Magnetism demands that he has his own custom ordered glass display case like the one I gave my Hot Toys Wolverine.

I just recognized the base as having bits and pieces of the Danger Room series Danger Room hologram projector base.

All in all, this is the best painted piece of Kotobukiya X-Men Fine Art statue so far. All the lines, all the colors, all well painted. No smudges, no smears, no wobbly lines, no paint runs. Excellent!

When I get the display case, and when I display Magneto, I don't know which head to display. Usually I prefer mask off/helmet off to see the full face, but man, the Helmet is just dope....I think I'll go with Helmet on.
