Marvel Legends Cyclops Astonishing X-Men 2023 Ch'Od BAF Wave Action Figure Review

[@ShartimusPrime]

I broke the wafting red effect piece off of my MAFEX Cyk figure, so the thought of even trying on this one didn’t occur to me. Holy crap it just comes off super easy!!

[@aath2702]

Then I broke the red effect from this figure:( if they just give me another head sculpture with no red effect it would be nice😢

[@dustintirey6122]

We need an updated Astonishing Beast.

[@sins_of_paradise5575]

I actually think that beast holds up for the most part but yes definitely need another

[@darthalba3785]

Soon...

[@gabrielhagedorn5942]

It’s amazing what Hasbro did with this cyclops body mold. The mold looks amazing, even though it’s just a slight tweaking of the Vulcan body mold. If I wasn’t told otherwise, I’d think it was a new mold. Definitely something they need to do more often.

[@luisherrera7039]

I was not prepared for that Emma Frost hand joke 😅

[@maxeisenhardt8800]

This is the Cyclops figure I've wanted the most. The Cassaday Astonishing costume is my favorite and I'm so glad this version used a different mold, which I think it fits him even better. I also love that Hasbro didn't body paint him (like the 2013 version) and instead they actually sculpted the gold details on his costume (including those from the boots). This is just a beautiful figure.

[@mr.dollsam7474]

My must-have in the wave. *This is not the vulcan body. Chest and abs, Arms and legs are different. I think this is a whole new body. *X-Men Legacy Cyclops

[@joselitopuzon2329]

yah no gap at abcrunch

[@LordRockington83]

Robo was able to pull the optic effect out (& put it back in) the visor. You may be able to put optic blast effects from other Cyclops figures or 3rd party effects.

[@theredhood4276]

Tri-Sentinel wave cyclops has an opic blast effect

[@ghosttrainz4701]

I like see shartimus excited about a marvel legends it make me remember when I watched his older videos as a kid

[@jordonnelson7980]

Super late to this but i call that Cyclops with the banded boots the "Schism" or "Second Coming" Cyclops

[@lostkid337]

As someone who is concerned with the height, this looks good! I love how well your eye catches on the little details

[@skabcat242]

Glad to see more optic blast effects.

[@SuperPatQuest]

Holy moley! What a great looking figure! I can't wait to get mine in hand.

[@mikey9906]

We need an updated classic Magneto, on a new pinless body please 🙏

[@fortressmattimus3984]

I'm hoping they can retool this to redo the xmen schism/AvX look (with the gold bands and the 3 lines on the shoulder). That is my favorite look for him and that'd be a perfect figure. This looks really good though and it's amazing how much unique sculpting can elevate a figure. I'd buy way more Legends if they all turned out this good.

[@sethquigley5136]

I think Cyclopes and Emma Frost are my most wanted from this wave.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

I'm SO excited for this one! Also other reviewers have figured out that the red area is removable and the older optic blast effects can be put in them but don't fit exactly. Hopefully updated X-Factor or Byrne era figures are not far behind this guy, as well as the rest of the Astonishing team.

[@rykkerjones786]

The visor/optic blast can be pulled out at least on the fwooshes, not sure if that was a factory error though.

[@LordRockington83]

Love the new Intro

[@Knightfall3000]

Emma Frost: Oh Scott two finger it. Sorry Shart I had too!😂

[@ER1CK12]

Great figure. Love the great Cyclops figs we’ve gotten over the years lately.

[@dragonblade5511]

Definitely loving the reception of this figure so far, makes me excited to get mine! Honestly, even though most of my core X-Men display is Jim Lee 90s looks, this might have to be my main Cyclops... Just one of my favorite looks and great posing on top of that, with the cool post-blast sizzle. Just a shame he wasn't PERFECT (by my standards) by including some blast-effects, especially since the red of the visor already comes out pretty easily (according to Fwoosh's review and your pinned comment).

[@sammysstopmotionoas1996]

Seeing this guy really makes me want a true Astonishing Wolverine with the accurate colors, non heated claws, and comic accurate shoulders.

[@Cykeian20]

The optic blast effect is removable on the visor:) so you can try to insert some other optic blast effect

[@bubpop21]

The Astonishing Cyclops in Bucky Cap mold was from the updated design when Simone Bianchi was the artist and Warren Ellis wrote Astonishing X-Men Ghost Boxes. Love the review, kinda bias as Cycke’s my all time fave.

[@House.Of.Pain.]

Man, I was really hoping that you would do a head swap with the House/Powers of X Cyke to see if maybe you could finagle the head to some how work properly. And was hoping since they’re both Navy Blue that maybe they’d have basically the same color. And then you could use the head and Optic Blast from that figure.

[@chinapat1024]

Aaahhhh I was looking to see if someone would suggest this! I know I'm kinda late but I just got this figure and the first thing I did was swap out the head sculpts wit House of X. I think they fit pretty good (a lil loose) but its cool to have 3 different options of head sculpts and blast affects can be used for both also

[@PimpfDM92]

Great new figure , it really stands out with the golden lines being done well in his outfit, another good figure for this good old Scoot Summers / Cyclops . Would love to see another version of him without the visor and hood as it was done in Hickman and Cassaday’s run on astonishing.

[@Chancherpancher]

(8:44) Big Time Let Down Spider-Man Gag

[@dave52g]

Apparently you can take off the red part of the visor and put the old blast effects.

[@IronManAkatsuki]

Fun review! Cyclops looks great

[@uzumaki2689]

Emma Frost pleasure pose hand 😂😂😂

[@michaeldellegrazie14]

Looking foward to this figure but I wish it would of came with another head that didn't have the effect in the eyes.

[@jordanscott4543]

You actually can take out the effect. And it’s painted red behind it.

[@Springi111]

It’s the best figure of the wave for me. It’s also the only one i want to get because im not a huge x-men fan but i do want the essential characters

[@Fivewees]

What a beautiful figure

[@jeffsoltess4853]

Arm popped off on my Mcfarlane Titans Nightwing odd enough. Same arm too

[@markspengler7137]

I don't know about my Cyclop's left arm as I haven't received it yet. But my Gambit's left arm popped off from that latest 3 pack with Banshee and Psylocke.

[@troyr4521]

Looking forward to this wave. Hopefully Amazon will fast track my preorder.

[@haydenweil1930]

Ordered mine from Amazon and got it in the mail yesterday and it's one of my new Marvel Legends figures to play with. The piece on the visor does come off btw.

[@zacharylee7137]

Do you know if it is blast effect compatible? I have the blast effect from the xmen 97 cyclops.

[@haydenweil1930]

@@zacharylee7137 Possibly. I'll see for myself when I get cyclops figure that comes with a optic blast effect.

[@zacharylee7137]

@@haydenweil1930 Hey, I just tried it out and it does not work. I used the blast effect from the xmen 97 cyclops.

[@haydenweil1930]

@@zacharylee7137 Oh ok.

[@chriscannon8144]

Though I too am sad we didn’t get the Brood Cyclops comparison, I’m happy you gave us the heads up at the beginning. Some things are always bound to slip our minds one way or another.

[@toylips]

Bro, the stuff before 2012 was before my time. I don't even count it. It's jarring for me to see it. Those shoulders! 😂🎉🤙

[@d3vil5du3]

Dope wave for me since im only collecting X legends going forward. Cant wait to get this wave. Shame on you for not mentioning the previous rendition but its ok

[@TimNim1987]

Emma Frost pleasure pose hand - love it

[@theguardian3431]

Awesome review!

[@luciousleftfoot6679]

Hopefully, we will get an updated Danger figure for the astonishing team.

[@tombowling8646]

Swell review. I really like this figure. Let me ask you, did you personally have any problems with PFP? Honestly, I like it and will miss it.

[@andrepaul3483]

I LOVE the Joss Whedon Astonishing X-Men run so much to the point I pre-ordered Scott & Emma in no time. And I'm mostly a DC reader. Hopefully Hasbro makes Peter,Kitty,Hank & Logan soon.

[@martinvdrywall]

Do a collection update shartimus

[@youtuber9566]

I hope in the future Hasbro makes more Astonishing Xmen. Like Wolverine. I mean the one we got in the past was okay but it really needs an update.

[@chinapat1024]

"it smells like butt" lol i was rolling on the ground when i heard that i was not ready for that! ✌️

[@munizbros999]

Now we just need a phoenix cyclops and his newest suit with the x on the face idk if it’s still the newest The Smokey bit should’ve been clear at the tip as well still love this fig tho

[@JoeyBcollects]

The Vulcan body was too tall for Vulcan, but it was the perfect height for cyclops. This body being shorter is so stupid... Still looks like a good figure anyway... I'd call the puck wave Cyclops Utopia era Cyclops. But he did wear that costume all the way until avengers vs xmen

[@KingPrintmaker]

That laser smoke is removable.

[@KingPrintmaker]

I get the feeling it was suppposed to include additional blast effects.

[@rohitkrishnan1607]

Yeah the old figure is the x-men schism/AvX outfit. God I hated those storylines, but Cyclops has almost always had a great outfit.

[@kc_collector]

What happened to the infinity ultron baf review 😢😢

[@rebelliousang44]

there is something additional the effect of light and smoke is removable and inside it is bright red

[@userthegoodguy1217]

Bro please no matter how old this channels gets pls dont change that intro song please its so nostalgic been watchn your vids since deadpool series 6 toybiz.

[@Spawn3X5]

Fig i want but no blast effect

[@LosMSR]

While the figure is not bad, this is bad when you put him next to Corsair, they should be at the same height, I was thrill about the update of Cyclops with the new mold, but with the changes, he is even shorter than Bucky Cap mold. Not the best idea of Hasbro. Seems like this wave is in a different scale.

[@LeoKearonMSc]

Not keen on just having a powered headed, same with the X-Factor one

[@marcosfrancisco3636]

Wow

[@KingPrintmaker]

Captain America's head is big due to his prior steroid use.

[@FREKKI]

Cyclops’ head is too big.

Great figure but as usual Cyclops is too short. Scott Summers (6'3") is supposed to be taller than Cap. I have modded a few of my Cyclops figures to be taller and they look way better. That Beast scales great too! The new one is great but he's way too tall. Also, I switched this Cyclops head with a previous release. This one suffers from big head syndrome far more than that Ultimate Cap.

[@mikenguyen4855]

Love the new Intro
