Inspired by the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday, Hot Toys‘ new Magneto figure is available as a Standard Edition, a Special Edition, a Deluxe Edition, and an Exclusive Deluxe Edition. 

Based on his appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, the Magneto 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure captures a detailed likeness of Sir Ian McKellen as the Master of Magnetism. This figure features a newly developed helmeted headsculpt equipped with a separate rolling eyeball design. Adding an unparalleled level of realism, the figure boasts meticulously implanted, wavy, light-gray hair made from wool material that extends from beneath his signature helmet.

His commanding silhouette is completed by a dramatic gray cape with a burgundy-colored interior lining. The figure includes six interchangeable hands, allowing for dynamic posing, alongside a specially designed figure stand featuring the Avengers: Doomsday movie logo.
