He said they weren't as functional as he'd like so the next time they do faceplates the engineering will be different.

Dan Yun also volunteered this idea at SDCC. The context there was they hinted something in the display there was going to end up in a Maximum release and he was challenging the interviewer to guess what. Dan suggested that the magnetic shield they had in the display would be great on a Maximum figure.
None of this means we're getting it soon, but clearly they're thinking about a Maximum Magneto.

I keep imagining a Beta Ray Bill with that kind of effort and hoo-boy yes please.
That's the one I'm hoping they do. '97 Magneto is very close to my ideal, but he's just a smidge short. If they fix that and give him and unmasked head and some good effects (I kept expecting them to reuse the Havok circle effects for him) I'd definitely pick that up.

Not that Hasbro needs me to defend them, but one reason why they may start a team and not finish it is if the previous figures were received poorly. You generally don't want to double-down on bad bets.
On the other hand, how does Hasbro sell Legends to retailers? Isn't it basically by wave/case? If so, it shouldn't really matter if they think a character might be known enough. Obviously, they'll hear it from retailers if they keep packing unknown and poor sellers into wave after wave, but it's often a given there's a character or two that's in less demand each wave. If they can get the jolly green giant into a wave, then surely they have room for sexy space pirate cat.
