Awesome review !!! 😁👍 I've been waiting to see this fig in a review. I completely agree about the missed opportunity with the articulated fingers. I thought for sure they moved seeing the way they resembled how joints look when they are fully poseable. Hope to hear that the elbow just needed some loosening up. I'm looking forward to the Soul Crusher the most. He looks like a fun, well designed figure. CyGor is impressive but I'm still on the fence. I might have to see him in store to make a decision.

I had a fused foot joint on the first Violator figure Amazon sent me. I returned it and got a well functioning one. The QC level on these $59 figures should not be so hit and miss. I also wish this Cy-Gor’s fingers were all articulated. It would have made this figure amazing

Wow that’s weird that the elbow is fused! Epic looking figure, I read that you already returned him, I thought my Mcfarlane Steppenwolf had a fused left knee but I was able to force it to work and haven’t had issues since, I’m going to order this guy but even if the arm definitely won’t work I’ll use it as a statue figure, thanks for the review man 🤙

I'm gonna have to wait to get him on sale. There's no way I'm willing to put up with QC issues for that price. Looks really great though. I hope you can fix that arm man. Good luck. I don't know what they changed, but I'm seeing a lot of reviewers having problems. Seems like it's 50/50 at this point.
@JoshFromBefore2 жыл бұрын
The articulation is kinda weak and that’s even before taking qc issues into account, so I’d say save the cash for something that will deliver more value. I’m going to return this one, we’ll see if I can find a fully functional one in the future🤘

@marvinonstage2 жыл бұрын
I'm glad I saw your review because you have convinced me of what I had suspected and that this figure is not worth $50.00 but I think it looks too skinny. The BEST Cygore based on sculpt presence is the RAW10 Cygore. What it lacks in articulation it more than makes up in sculpt and shell presence and at $20.00 retail and size, it's a no-brainer. The bad part is it was a Walmart exclusive but is only on the secondary market and the price is crazy. I bought two on clearance and I'll sell it to you for retail but include shipping.

I'll wait until it drops in price. I bought Violator on discount from Game Stop then I also used $10 game stop bucks I had on top of that. I bought the Clown on Amazon recently as it went on sale. For $50 I want to see jaw articulation and articulated fingers. McFarlane is kinda greedy for not putting more effort.
@JohnnyboyTarantu2 жыл бұрын
This is the Best sculpt for Cygor However The Articulations are passive. You can't fully swing those arms and legs This is more like a Statue not a Figure. I wasn't Expecting like this.. This is literally a statue. I would grab it if only That Jaw and fingers are articulated but its not. and that Diaper sucks!... Im happy with my RAW10 and Violator megafig

Articulated hands would have made this figure a 9/10 toy. As it stands.. rough 7.5. Cool sculpt, but not sure why Todd yanked out the articulated hands. The prototype had articulated fingers. You can also see that prototype on the back of the box the figure game in. The hands even had sharp edged knuckles. Guess $$$ was an issue. :[

10:41 is probably the only reason why I’ll pic up someone’s custom from eBay. I watched a review over a week ago of this figure and canceled it immediately. That diaper thing is TRASH. I love Capullo and I love CY-GOR. This is a massive let down. You did a good review though.
