Quicksilver: I really like the choices that Hasbro went with this guy. I like the body, the colors and the headsculpt, and the deco is fairly well done. Like Symbi said, the 2099 body is very well balanced, allowing him to strike some natural and good looking running poses, thanks to the butterfly joints. My only major gripes with him is that mine has some paint slop with the application, and being that they used pearlescent paints, it's gonna be tough to fix and get a good match with them if I were to attempt to. There is also some breakup of the paint in tiny patches on the chest, which could have used maybe another layer or two.


Magneto: Here's where mixed bag portion of it all comes in. Magneto was a HUGE disappointment for me, and while I'm sure many who were never able to obtain the Jubilee wave version of him will sing this figure's praises, the fact is that I actually think a lot of things were actually implemented a lot better on that original figure than this newer one.

My Quicksilver looks almost exactly like yours, but my Magneto is much better. I briefly thought about trying to send it back for a replacement, but I decided against it. I don't want to take the chance of getting a worse Magneto and I can just live with Quicksilver's sloppy paint. It is a little irritating that they don't try harder with the exclusive figures. We are paying full price for 3 figures and no BaF parts.
