Surprisingly, this time they opted to mold him a new helmet, rather than repainting an existing one. His costume is purple and black, with tampographed details on his shirt and legs. He wears a cape, because it makes him look impressive when he's flying. And he can fly, thanks to the inclusion of a hover stand - since <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=21095\">Future Magneto<\/a> didn't come with one, you can trade it back and forth.

Obviously all her scales are painted on, meaning this could pull double-duty as an <i>X-Men 1-3<\/i> movie Mystique.
