- Not a perfect Cyclops but the Medicom version is a fine addition to the MAFEX X-Men. All two of them.

Robo's wallet: exists
Medicom toys: so you chose death
69th like!!! Nice!!!
I want to say I love your reviews, your style, your charmingly corny jokes and insightful reviews.
"Bright ass yellow..."
Cuts to an ass shot.
I see what you did there, Robo! 🤣
Friendly reminder, since X-Factor Cyke has not needed to touch his visor to shoot. Button in the glove opens the visor now.
The funny thing is if you take away the 3 pack Cyclops with the jacket, the single release Legends Cyclops now is the same price or even more then this Mafex one.
So for someone like me that missed out on that single release Cyclops this was an easy buy.
How the hell did that even happen
cyclops 90s animated version is on Hasbro Pulse rn at 27.99
But considering how much more accessories you get with the Mafex figure I think Hasbro can keep that 90s bs
I love how honest you are with your reviews. If there's a problem you aren't afraid to get deep in to the problems. So many other reviewers gloss over the issues like, No big deal... moving on. You saved me 94$.
I'm glad that you give your honest opinion.
Thanks man, I try. A toy really has to be terrible to get me hating it. As is I like trying to figure out why things are wrong and try to find a silver lining.
Great review! I was really waiting for this.
I was tempted by this figure when I saw the promo pics but as soon as I saw the in hand pictures I knew it’d be a pass. I am perfectly happy with my Marvel Legends Cyclops. I like his proportions better and his color scheme doesn’t bother me at all. This Mafex is too short and squat for my liking. And is 4X the cost while not being 4X better than what I have. Great review though! I had a lot of options this morning for this review but you were my number one stop.
More like 3 times the cost, with 3 times the accessories, loll. But he is stout, lol
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271
More like 4.1 times the cost. Cyclops originally cost $21 (including tax), Mafex Cyclops (currently with the bad exchange rate) costs $88 (including shipping).
I ended up selling my Warlock wave Cyclops once this figure went up for pre-order. _Anything_ Mafex is going to be vastly superior to it's US counterpart. Plus, I still have a Legends Cyclops - the Love Triangle one. Just like Wolverine, this new one really evokes the Marvel vs Capcom games, and I love that. And it doesn't have six oversized rings flopping around. And the harness straps are correctly sized, so the belt goes around the top of their trunks. And the complete lack of options with the Warlock one is a bummer. At least there's some options with the Love Triangle one.
FillerBunny NinjaShark it’s definitely 4x the price, more for shipping. It has way more accessories but they aren’t worth more than an extra 10 or 20 bucks. This is a 40 dollar figure max.
@@rulyarmaghetto 40 dollars? Marvel legends are pushing closer and closer to 30... Mafex are definitely worth the 60-70 dollars they cost
Maybe you can get together with TheCrafsMan. He can make candy molds from those optic blasts. Then you really can eat them. Plus seeing you with that puppet would be amazing.
Can't wait for mine! Thanks for the review Robo! Btw, DHL is great when it comes to shipping. They're definitely my favorite when it comes to shipping options xD
I’m watching X-Men: The Animated Series at the moment. So I know more about this guy than I used to. I can appreciate this figure just a little bit more.
"Whatta ya think he puts in all those pouches"
4:13
LOL!!!
Great review. You're right about the proportions I feel like he has no neck. But the head and effects are really good. The paint also looks neat
Really like the new review setup
I think this will be my Play Day set-up. I feel like I missed some stuff with how I gotta tilt the figure away from me to catch the camera, I should have seen the bad paint on the thigh straps but I was looking up at them. Or I need a better rig and angle. Hmm.
Huh. Was hoping he wouldnt be so squat. Also gonna assume that the neck tightness is to prevent drooping with the blast effect
makes sense.
I’m a bit bummed hes a bit shorter than the Legends version. I would’ve loved for him to be taller since he is bulkier and all
The lack of paint in the joints and the shortness of that shoulder strap, which forces the belt to be too far up his torso is a real issue... Because that same shortness prevents from the torso having any real articulation. I can't believe they would release a figure with that issue, especially when it would be so easy to fix in production.
Actually the legends head on the mafex body makes thr figure look Alot better... Which says something about mafex. I'm still excited to be getting it but disappointed by it's shortcomings. I might sticky tack the legends head on it or add shading to the faces lol
try swapping his mid and lower torso pegs to longer ones, it may create a gape but it'll look more proportionate
I've actually been thinking about that. If the torso was taller it would bring everything into proportion.
@@TheFwoosh if it works, please show us in play day haha
@@hemerlyg I cut the shoulder strap of the back of the belt and pushed the front of the belt down, helps a lot.
@@TheFwoosh so the belt is sitting on the crotch area instead of the waist?
Yeah, it sits on the ridge of the waist.
Hahaha I always enjoy your reviews, keep the good work!
Great review I didn’t pick this one up too many mafex figures on preorder already. Here’s to hoping infinity war Thor comes out soon with no issues really looking forward to that one
Looking forward for thw video of how to repair wolverine
I really want a mafex daredevil tbh
Seen a few reviews on this so far. Right now, the only thing that's got me contemplating getting this is that I missed out on the Juggernaut Wave Cyclops and that one is going for about $100 currently lol. So, yeah.. I guess it comes down to whether or not ppl have the Marvel Legends Jim Lee Cyke & how bad they want a more accurate color version without the jacket.
That is what got me into customizing in the first place. I guess no other version avaiable for purchase of the Jim Lee Cyke would be better, cheaper and satisfying than a custom one. Of course, we'll need to know your ways into it, and deal with our own limitations at the beggining, but still worth it!
4mins in i was like "nope". Thank you Robo. Love the reviews.
I have no actual interest in the actual figure, I'm just happy to see Robo finally get this thing after so many weeklies going by and this thing getting pushed back like 4 times 🤣
Excellent review robo. Painfully sincere. Is this going to be batman hush body?
Medicom doesn't reuses bodies between characters, as far as I know. Cyclops is similar to Venom but they don't share parts.
A bit buffed up like in the 90's but I like it, it's sti,l one ofmy favorite comics character. Nice review as usual
I love your videos. Keep up the good work
I like the comic style boxes
My effect piece broke off while trying to remove the visor but I just dabbed it with some super glue and it’s good but still sucks it broke
Did they deliver that to you in light-speed. I’m still waiting for mine to get here and I’m sure I live closer to Japan than Arkansas. Come on DHL!!!
Saw someone on reddit put the ML harness on this figure and it seems to help a lot with the proportions.
Great vid. How do you remove the peg from inside the head sculpt and how did you fix the arms on your mafex wolverine.
Awsome Action Figure review bro
Im wondering if that belt works for the Marvel Legends figure.
It's pegged in the back.
@@TheFwoosh :(
It Finally came! and whats that hulk?
That's an old toy box I picked up at a con a few years ago just because it was so weird. I've been rearranging and didn't have a place for it, so it sits there for now.
Yeah I don’t think I would have space for it either
What does Cyclops keep in all those belt pouches? My best guess is lots of eye drops.
You stealing my joke?
This looks so nice
How has everybody else already received theirs when mine has just barely been picked up in Japan this morning?
Is this a sign of what to expect with the Hush Superman? I've never had a mafex figure and this is kinda letting down my high hopes for superman and batman
This happens with some releases. Gwenpool, Spiderman and Deadpool are fine.
Do you have any recommendations for good "stands" to use....??
Thank you...
Wait...you have the hulk bin too
Yup, picked it up at a show a few years ago, it was so weird I had to have it.
Wasn't the Jim Lee Cyclops able to activate their optic blast via making a fist; like it was tech attached to the gloves? Which is why Cyclops is making two fists on the cover of X-Men #1. But I'm sure wearing this outfit, they pleasure pose fingered their visor to activate it. I'm like 99% sure they did that in the cartoon.
Figure still comes with two fists, so not a big deal.
"Eyedrops"
😂
Do you know when 1000toys Master Chief should be arriving? I'm excited to get your opinion
I'm fully expecting him to get delayed, but 1000toys still has an April release on their website. Staying hopeful that he'll still come out this month.
..to those who got this figure..try to rotate/switch the dumbell joint on the neck to head if it resolves the issue..seeing the neck part hole is tight and the head hole is loose,maybe those balls on the dumbell joints aren't exactly the same diameter and have been switched on their holes..
Nice figure...I sure Hope they'll give us at least the rest of the Blue Team: Gambit, Psylocke, Beast and Rogue would be awesome in this line! Heck I really want Storm, Jean and Archangel too!
I can't believe this is a 80-100 dollar figure, Spider-man and venom are the only good figures from this line and i will definitely doubt about pre ordering the batman and superman, the proportions are horrible, the qc shouldn't happen with this price point and the alternate head is worse than a ML
they did great at deadpool tho
Both Gwenpools were great as well. Didn't get the future Miles Morales but haven't heard about any issues with that one either.
As i don't own them i didn't speak about those, but the pools are well reviewed and the miles is either people liking the design or not
Do you got a new studio
I'm working on it.
What is that amazing Hulk head in the back?! I love it and want one.
It's an old 70s toy box.
@@TheFwoosh Wow. Thats all I can say because I have never seen one before, and I have done a lot of vintage Hulk hunting. Also thank you for replying to my comment I appreciate it.
Mr. Robo the glasses come off and he has no eye details lol. I did it to mine
Uncle Robo is Here!
Great vid!
Not to necro-post on this video...I modded the bottom torso to sit higher, which made his upper body look way better. Also had to add a bit to his belt on the back and have it slide in and out of his undies so when you bend him the belt does not ride up.
Mine is on the way to my door, I think it looks great and I am excited to put it next to my other Mafex comic figures. I will say however in NO way does this blow away the Legends version, anyone who wants to not buy this because they already have the legends isn't wrong.. this figure doesn't truly eclipse it price/value wise. That said, if you don't have cyclops.. I can't recommend paying the inflated legends price so this is a good pick up.. i've seen some great shots on reddit of this guy in legends displays already and it works fine.
Get some shock oil in that head socket. That should loosen things up a little.
12:39 - "Options are not bad."
No ... "Options, as always, are good." ;P
The figure looks nice
Nice
hi, could you make a tutorial of how you remove the cyclops smoking visor? I tried pry off with tool and finger nails but no luck! so afraid of breaking it :(
His torse isn’t short it’s the belt thing that is too short makes the proportions look off
it suffers from the same issue with the sh figuarts justice league batman... the waist part is too short
Yay you finally got it.................dear lord he’s buff what has he been taking steroids
Appreciate What you do good sir!
Thanks man!
That looks cool
I was so excited to get this figure. What a shame! I really want to like it but there are so many flaws with this one. Glad I saved 80 bucks.
Figure looks completely different from the promo pics. They made the upper torso wider and shorter... And the paint is super sloppy.
I really hope their future releases to be better. Hush Batman and the Spiderverse figures look so promising and I don't want to get disappointed :(
I like the homecoming spider man and the comic one and the black panther
I'll stay with my Mezco Cyclops, it's sad to see the most faithful version imo (including price) is Marvel Legends
I remember you hating that Mafex Wolverine figure more than this Cyclops one.
Nope. Go back and watch it again, even with the popping arms I loved it.
The Fwoosh 🤔 I could’ve sworn you disliked it.
Has anyone tried to put the Mezco Cyclops jacket on the Mafex Cyclops?
lmao @ the eyedrops joke
he never gonna get over that candy joke
intended to type hh but got "correct ed"
90’s cyclops is my favorite version of cyclops, who is my favorite X-man, but I’m gonna stick to my Mezco 90’s Cyclops when it comes to non legends version of cyclops in my 6inch collection
Just got the reissue of hush catwoman hope bbts gets him again or mafex decides to reissue him
How much did cost?
$70.
Oh that smoke will break. 😢
Yeah, that tiny thin piece scares me.
The Fwoosh thankfully I’ve been able to get it replaced 🙏🏻. Love the review ! Always awesome :)
Don't care if it's a mold for his lazar vision, I'll still eat it
Good piece, but I prefer Mezco Cyclops myself.
Also, his left arm longs a bit longer than his right arm.
Nice cyclops! !! Awesome animated series reboot! Like jim lee's x-men
What’s going brother Robo✨✨✨🙌🏽👊🏾
I only bought one Mafex so far, the Xenomorph, it was a bit disappointing for the price point as every other Mafex that I saw reviewed turned out to be. I hope Mafex DKR is a better piece if they fail me then... I will never buy a single Mafex again.
The visor i think gose on the back of the neck
Anyone hating on this fig in the comics are lying to themselves
I got the reissue and he’s amazing
Gang Gang!
I'm starting to think that the people at MAFEX use older Toybiz figures as models. The Spiderman figure had a very familiar feel to the Spiderman Classics one and from what I am seeing, this Cyclops looks a lot like the animated Toybiz one. I used to have the 12 inch one and the proportions are very similar
images.app.goo.gl/jwviYgU5aAh2oKXs5
But they do have big prices
for a really expensive figure this is very disappointing
the head pops off when you turn it the legs pop off im fine with the legends.
Looks good. Think Mezco still wins this cyclops.
Repaint the orange into yellow on the legends and its going to look a to better than this
Anyone else distracted by Robo’s nice nails?
Surprised you didn't mention how sloppy the paint is around the leg bands, that's just inexcusable for a 80 dollar product.
Yup, I missed that unfortunate light yellow coverage over dark blue.
He put Lockheed treats in his pouches!
Good but Marvel Legends Rules!
Vitor Rodrigues hot toys are the best then mezco or mafex in my opinion but marvel legends are also soo good!
Lmao @ eye drops
I wanted to see jubilee
ML Cyclops' head is too big or is just me?
