Magneto

Hi all,
It's been a while since I've actually shared anything on here so forgive me if I'm a bit out of practice.
Here's a project I worked on a while back but did not have the time to share until now.
Sideshow Magneto replaced with a seamless body on top of a custom base I built from scratch.









WIP
Fused the pose i needed on the skeleton, added claws and painted silver


Reference picture that inspired me


Thanks all folks thanks for dropping by !

yeah love it. I'm a sucker for bases and Dios that enhance the figures greatly. Impressive pose make him look like a badass char (which he is)

Wow, awesome work! That is an extremely detailed base. The adamantium (?) skeleton being twisted and manipulated by him is such a macabre detail. This must have taken quite a while to put together!

Thanks Valiarde, skywalkersage and yes - it took a while to shape the diorama and figure out the placement of things.
Mags is such a badass it would not do him justice to not create something to show that !

The body swap is very cool to begin with, but that base is a work of art and chaotic creativity. Beautifully done and nice to see you back.

That’s an amazing accomplishment. I’m new to contemporary 1/6, but I can tell you that in the 1/12 world, classic Magneto has been a never-ending source of frustration in spite of receiving multiple figures from multiple companies. Every one of them gets some things right and some things wrong. They’ve gotten close a few times on briefly lived contemporary looks, but not with the classic. You certainly did it here in 1/6. I think Hasbro needs to hire you as a consultant!

This is a fantastic Sculpture of all the parts You used that for. It shows the rise of magneto and the end of Wolverine ? That super vallian basterd extract the adamantium skeleton out of his body ? Dam that´s really mean. You made a amazing scene ! littel details like the movement in Wolverines dog tag give live into it.

That’s pretty slick. Love Wolvie’s skeleton — that is such a neat idea. So many great details.

Well, who wants to live forever! That poor guy, in another post here he was shot by a lot of arrows. So beautiful, I kinda like Magneto. And they didn't bring A WOODEN GUN.

I have to ask, did you use real magnets somewhere in there?

Whoa, such awesomeness all in one shot/pose!! I remember running across the Magneto figure a while back and thought it was pretty flawless, but upgrading with a TBLeague body just takes it to a whole other level, per usual. That base is phenomenal, love all the gritty details and muted carnage in contrast to Magneto in all of his pristine glory - he really does look like a vengeful God!

Hey Allotropos, good to see you back, always good to see some "old-timers" like me posting again! 

That base is awesome, totally makes a somewhat bland looking character (IMO only, don't flame me! ) into the magical superhero he is. Also, great placement of support post and diorama structuring to help with the illusion of floating and movement. Great job!

That's an awesome base for Magneto, the details on it are spectacular.

That custom base really pulls it all together. You did an awesome job buddy.

Wow this looks amazing, was the cape collar piece hard to remove? Thinking of doing the same with mine, just don’t want to damage the fabric trying to remove it

Oh how could I have missed this!
Fantastic work on the figure and dio especially the floating dog tag.
Poor poor Logan...

That diorama base looks freakin fantastic!!! I love all the references both to the comics and movies, that adamantium skeleton is awesome!!!

Great upgrade on the sideshow Magnus as well, those seamless bodies really take any figure to the next level!
