    I don't know if these will help, but I used that set on the diaclone version. 20180222_134315.jpg 20180222_134347.jpg 20180222_134406.jpg

    It's hard to say it's worth it, given that it's probably about a dollars worth of stickers, but I have no regrets buying it.

    I have the SXS head on the way. The shoulder missiles will hardly stay pegged in but, I say screw MP22!

    Magnus is definitely a character who... hasn’t found his mold.
    I would actually take a nice oversized/articulated version of the FP armor/white classics prime over mp22.

    For the $55 I paid for him, he certainly found it.

    I am looking at picking up one of these. I think he nails the IDW aesthetic better than any other option (toon Magnus is chubby and lame by comparison).

    But many reviews of him seem kinda meh. Few seem to really love him.

    If you can find him cheap, are OK with him being gigantic, SXS head, being gentle...

    Then he is a cool Magnus.

    I think I may have found the SXS upgrade on Uncle Billy. Fingers crossed that it’ll make it to me.

    It should. I bought mine from him. I think it was $18. That original head is trash. Looks like a puppet.

    3P is so much better, now.

    I really enjoy mine. He's very much a "toy" and less a collector's item. I have both stack and dai stack, and I use the sxs head on dai stack. Got them all fairly cheap.

    I have the Dia Commander version. I like it, but it definitely feels dated now. The plastic is all of good quality and the tolerances are all pretty good; though the hips are pretty squeaky. It's enormous, which is really cool on a shelf, but makes it a giant pain to transform because everything is heavy and flops around. A lot of people don't like the face sculpt, but I'm fine with it. It's a little flat, but the helmet is nice. I paid $80 for mine, which feels like a bit much nowadays. If you can get him for $60, I think it's worth it. If size isn't a factor, I think the Magic Square Transporter is a far superior design. It's just tiny.

    I liked Stack overall but TO ME the figure felt a little bit cheap- lightweight, somewhat flimsy- compared to more current figures. If you want that IDW look and are ok with a more "toy" quality figure though you'd be ok I think. I do highly recommend the replacement head set by SXS though. SO much better. I still have my SXS head set as I was going to transplant the head on to my THF KO Magnus but I may never get to it, lol.

    I have him too. I will echo that he’s a great display piece, but I worry about his play factor. There are some flimsy bits. I’m still looking for that perfect Ultra Magnus. (Masterpiece is too toon slavish for me).

    This guy is actually my Maximus Ambus. In that context, he’s absolutely perfect.

    Would anyone say getting this guy for $140, which includes the SXS kit and shipping, be worth it? I've been hunting for a good IDW Magnus.
