Here's how the bust was solicited by Diamond Select:
Second in a brand new line! Straight from the pages of Ultimate X-Men - and the imagination of Adam Kubert - comes this stunning, action-posed bust of the X-Men's greatest nemesis, Magneto! Diamond Select's 7"-plus sculpture of the Mutant Master of Magnetism is posed gesturing at unseen foes while clutching the crumpled Xavier School flag in the other! Magneto is the second in Diamond Select's new line of Ultimate Marvel busts, and comes packaged in a collector's box featuring brand new artwork from Adam Kubert, inspired by his first look at the finished piece. This bust is limited to 10,000 pieces and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Also available is a Special "Battle-Damaged" Edition of the bust, limited to 500 pieces. The Special Edition certificate is hand-signed by artist Adam Kubert and sculptor David Cortés.
Artist Adam Kubert is quoted in the solicitation copy as saying, "This sculpture captures Magneto's larger than life attitude PERFECTLY! I love it."
The Ultimate Magneto bust will ship in March with a recommended retail price of US$50. The "Battle-Damaged" Special Edition will carry a RRP of US$75.
