Magneto Wants Mutant Superiority with New MAFEX Figure

Published Thu, 23 Apr 2020 16:50:33 -0500

Medicom has announced that the X-Men villain, Magneto, will be getting his very own MAFEX figure. This time we are seeing Magneto from the hit Marvel Comics X-Men storyline, The Age of Apocalypses. He will be sporting longer hair and will have a removable helmet. He will come will a couple of interchangeable hands and some pink magnetic effects for the perfect poses. One nice feature is that his cape will be fabric based and from the way the pictures show it is going to seemingly be possible wired. This will give collectors that extra effect to really grasp the action of Magento and his flowing cape.

I hope we can see more Age of Apocalypse figures come out of the MAFEX line later on. It would be nice to see an Archangel, Wolverine, or a Dark Beast come to life out next to join the liberation. This figure brings alive a costume we really do not see at all. The longer haired version of Magneto is quite popular and Medicom did a great job bringing this version to life. The X-Men villain Magneto is scheduled to release in December 2020. He will be priced at $95 for his US release while the Japanese release will be priced at roughly 7,800 yen ($72). Pre-orders are already live and you can find him located here.
