As a fan of Magneto, I really do love the power set of Erick especially the power of magnetism because I for one would love to control metal or have Wolverine's cool healing factor despite the adamantium poisoning, I only have AOA Magneto figure but I will try to get the X-MEN 97 wave 1 release Magneto.
I’m torn which one to get between the 2 but as you mentioned, not having a classic Magneto in my collection steers me towards the villain version! Thanks for the review!
i thought it's good guy on the left bad guy on the right because of the charging shot at the end of the 92 cartoon into but then they could the case because of the reading alignment reason
I like the villain version best and unfortunately haven't picked him up yet, only place I've seen him is booksamillion for $28. I do have aoa as a stand in though.
@@5POAFigureReviews Cool, quick spoiler, I thought they were going to make her a straight-up Villain at the end of the season, cuz they showed Rogue doing a lot of selfish things, but I'm glad she came around cuz I would have felt betrayed that they made her a villain I look forward to seeing another review on the mulleted powerhouse southern belle of the X-Men
Doesn't the Hero version look like Granny Goodness! Love from India... really love all your videos. Please do a long length video on what should new collectors focus on while building their collection in Marvel Legends and McFarlane DC figures!
I thought that the original run did a good job showing Magneto's conflicted nature, since when it premiered Magneto had only just reverted to villainy in the comics, and even then still had far FAR more nuance than his 60s self. X97, however, takes it to another level, showing someone who truly desires to do better but isn't sure how. As for Beast losing his goddamn mind, the current X-Force run may have remedied that. By introducing a clone with memories that only go back to right before he started to slip (ie: Legacy Virus obsession).
Yeah, I am happy Marvel is back tracking on that. I'd have been happy with them just having it that current Beast had actually been Dark Beast, but this is fine.
I find the villain Magneto more playable then the hero one so the playability of which one is more playable is just based on opinions. But i think both Magnetos. Are awesome. But the first wave one is more original and has better articulations for play. While the new hero Magneto has more muscles. Still fun to play with. Both figures have their own unique good proportions but one is shorter than the other. But Magneto is an old man. I think its tie to me. But i give wave one magneto an edge because he is wearing his iconic costume . And wins by landslide surprise . Due to better articulations for better posing. But both figures pose very well.
I don't know for sure, but I imagine cultures where you read from right to left would have the opposite effect, BUT I would point out videos games like Mario originated in Japan, where people read from right to left, but forward is still left to right.
Man mags is in it for the long haul. He could a killed them people hunting morlocks or whatever in the sewer. Gambit wolvie would have. Hell the government groups ment to fight the f.o.h. would have for forcing them into the sewer to chase them down. Mags didn't tho so Props at least 😊
Hey, I'm pretty sure Hero Magneto is on the Vulcan body, not Sunfire. No hate intended
None taken. You are absolutely correct. Not sure what on earth I was thinking lol
He needs the Vulcan mold in his classic look too.

6:33 kinda crazy the old Toybiz figure has better proportions and heroic look than the crappy new one
Yeah, those long arms really do hurt him
7:41 AVALANCHE!!!
7:14 So you'll be looking at the Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Rogue?
I will indeed

I just picked up the hero version. I love it. I’ll eventually purchase the villain.
great vid!
Can you head swap Marvel Select Magneto with Marvel Legends '97 Magneto Unmasked?
"This guy who is next to magneto is a Genocidal Mutant...but anyways here Toad he looks nice" 😂😂😂
Lol

I can see it! Hello, India! That's an interesting idea you have, I will have to think about it and see what I can come up with!
Effing brilliant, thank you 🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
Hero Magneto is built on Vulcan’s buck
Yeah, I was def off on that one.
@@5POAFigureReviews Hey no problem man, I used to mix up Grim Reaper and Hyperion all the time
4:47 “pretty equivalent” NO DAWG
Would love to hear your thoughts on the show!
So far, I absolutely love it. Sorry I didn't reply to your other comment
I got my villain Magneto on clearance for $7 and I'm happy 😂
That's awesome!

Omg blob is The baron from dune hahahaha nice!
My video goes up tomorrow and the the thumbnail is epic
Nice! And thanks for the kind words
These figs are Awesome!!!
Agreed! I am very happy with them
Hero Magneto's body isn't sunfire's, the sculpting is clearly different, I think his body is that grim reaper body
Yeah, I was wrong about that one. Turns out it is Vulcan
Avalanche!!!
Short Manetos
If you can pose him floating over everyone it's fine, but standing side by side it's annoying
0:56 what about Hebrews and Arabs?

That classic costume Magneto figure is just so bad all around, easily the weakest of the wave, imo.
Granted, it is a pretty strong wave
Nah, they are not both 61/2 inches tall.
That villain Magneto is shorter than the purple one.
Man mags is in it for the long haul. He could a killed them people hunting morlocks or whatever in the sewer. Gambit wolvie would have. Hell the government groups ment to fight the f.o.h. would have for forcing them into the sewer to chase them down. Mags didn't tho so
Props at least 😊
