It seemed like Legends was bringing their heads into correct proportions awhile back but these newer heads for the male figures seem comically large. What gives?
To me, the Scott head looks more like Cyclops from X-Men: Evolution. Does his optic blast effect fit in the Astonishing Cyclops head and Astonishing's visor piece fit in the alternate head?
I'm going to pass on these, myself. It's the animated style hair, I'm just not digging it. If I learn that the Warlock wave or Love Triangle Cyclops head could fit on the new body, I may change my mind. Gotta admit, though, Jean's face sculpt never looked better.
I expected so much more from these figures, Jean´s articulation is lacking. For me its a sad execution, for example the red magneto had a smaller torso and looks weird and perhaps that is the key word. This wave delivered weird features and maybe that is why the reviews ive seen talk like they are not all on board with the product recieved. U_u
The cyclops figure was almost perfect but that new head sculpt is ass. Would’ve loved to seen a LT 3pk cyclops headswap. I still think that’s the best cyke head sculpt to date.
the cyclops weird/smile mouth paint, the huge manotas (hands for those who dont speak spanish) and the ugly Toupée was a solid pass for me i only got it for the head and the blast effect, and i sold it the very next day jaja, great review as always regards from MX
I actually didn't know Astonishing Cyke's optic smoke effect could be removed from the visor so thanks for that!! I just tried it with the same effect piece (it also comes with Retro Cyclops and Tri-Sentinel Cyclops, they're all the same piece as this one) and it fits perfectly with Astonishing Cyclops.
This might be too little too late for me. I have not purchased Hasbro in 2-3 years or so since they TALKED about increasing prices and they eventually did. Cyke looks nice though...but just can;t.
Not much of a Legends guy but picked up the Wolverine from this line on a whim cuz he looked good and I knew I’d never see him again. Didn’t think anything of it till I also found Cyclops. This is basically exactly what I’ve been looking for in classic designs. Since got the Nightcrawler and Jean Grey figs and they’re good as well but Nightcrawler is super basic and my Jean’s ponytail head didn’t have the hair glued down properly but it was an easy fix. Planning to go back and get everything from the first wave but Bishop. His new haircut just kills the character and makes him look like a Fortnite skin. Overall I am loving this new wave. Looking forward to Beast and Jubilee in wave 3 and hopefully we can get a Colossus!
I have the VHS cyclops but his visor is really off… you can see the gap in the head sculpt where the visor is supposed to connect and it doesn’t sit on his nose either! does anyone here know how to fix that?
I really do need a Jean Grey figures 🤔 really bad. All I have is the AoA and the Phoenix version of here. I had the marvel girl 😫 🤢 🤮, but I gave that pos to my son 😂😂😂😂.
Jean with a laughable torso articulation, very long and lanky arms and hair that looks like it's made of Play-Doh for how bad it looks, cartoony or not, it looks bad, the 4-inch toys from 97' have better hair definition. I don't like the VHS one but she looks miles better than her, 7:56 shows how flat she looks, bad proportions, no shape at all, and the legs look awfully large, worse than a McFarlane figure, Love Triangle Jean remains the best representation of the character, no amount of pinless limbs can save that 97' atrocity, even if the faces look good, the whole headsculpt gets ruined due to the hair. Cyclops looks fine, but you'll need to pose him with the optic blast, the other head looks bad in every possible way besides the nice golden visor. also lollipop syndrome again. Hasbro zealots will love these.
Him comparing there asses on international woman’s day is wild😭😭
Umm yeah....
Well, what else do they offer? 😂😂
What did you expect
In all honesty, what better way to appreciate women than appreciating their assets. :D
@@Jetblast01 ummmm yeah...
“don’t have the cell shading obviously” no. That’s a novelty. These look way better for the show and comic book fans.
Damn. You just sold me on Jean. Great review!
It seemed like Legends was bringing their heads into correct proportions awhile back but these newer heads for the male figures seem comically large. What gives?
I thought so too.. the cyke head seems large for the body scale
Heads are accurate to real human proportions, but should be smaller compared to typical comic book proportions. I'm good with them.
Also did you know Jennifer Hale is reprising her role as Jean Grey from Wolverine and the X-Men for this show?
When did she originally voice Jean???
Last year, my brother bought two Marvel Legends figure from the X-Men 97 line. Wolverine and Magneto. I'm getting these figures later this year.
"One Jean Grey Pleasure Pose"☝️🤣🤣🤣🤣
💀
“Jean Grey pleasure pose” is CRAZZZYY
Jean Gray pleasure pose hands on Cyclops that line cracked me up 😂😂😂

What kind of flight stand is used for Jean in this video?
This is the Jean Grey figure of my dreams.
“You filthy cochinos” got me 😂
Can't wait for my Jean Grey

Exactly. All of these figures have some really great things about them, but then something weird on them that makes them a turnoff.
You think you can swap the optic blast goggles from the new Cyclops to the previous Cyclops?
That is literally the best in box female head sculpt I've seen on a ML
The cyclops figure was almost perfect but that new head sculpt is ass. Would’ve loved to seen a LT 3pk cyclops headswap. I still think that’s the best cyke head sculpt to date.
it's far away from perfect it looks like a goblin injected with synthol
I like when Shart says "filthy cochinos" 😂
Does the 97 jean head fits on the vhs jean body? Wonder how that will look.
The Cyclops I ordered immediately. But did Cyke break Jeans back? Does she now have titanium pins in her spine?
Do you like these better than the Jim Lee or the 3 pack versions?
definitely need these. I wanna sculpt some new heads for the cyclops since I agree with the soft Jaw.
my FYE had a buy one get one half off deal on all collectibles today so i picked these two up, they rule!
Awesome review, hope hasbro do a 90's Avengers wave😎🔥
the cyclops weird/smile mouth paint, the huge manotas (hands for those who dont speak spanish) and the ugly Toupée was a solid pass for me i only got it for the head and the blast effect, and i sold it the very next day jaja, great review as always regards from MX
I’m getting Jean Friday. Cyclops I plan on getting soon once he’s back in stock.
Articulation wise both figures are great TBH!
You exchange the head sculpt for cyclops but couldn’t do it for Jean?
What about the torso articulation? The new Jean Grey doesn't have it.
Its nice collectors are getting extra chances to get Cyclops and Jean.
Based solely on your recommendations I will to buy my very first cyclops figure. He's my favorite. I'm even gonna use him in my videos!
Can cyclops blast effect fit into the astonishing cyclops visor since the "smoke effect" is removable
I actually didn't know Astonishing Cyke's optic smoke effect could be removed from the visor so thanks for that!!
I just tried it with the same effect piece (it also comes with Retro Cyclops and Tri-Sentinel Cyclops, they're all the same piece as this one) and it fits perfectly with Astonishing Cyclops.
what no comparison to the ML first Jim Lee cyclops!!!
This might be too little too late for me.
I have not purchased Hasbro in 2-3 years or so since they TALKED about increasing prices and they eventually did.
Cyke looks nice though...but just can;t.
Wolverine would be proud 😂
Got them in preorder, can't wait to get em.
Can't wait for my Cyclops figure thats coming in from the mail in April. Awesome review mate!
Great vid keep up the good work
This Scott looks like Amy Schumer 😅

wish they would just make cyc a bit taller so they can extend the abdomen, it looks so odd and squished there, also making his arms longer as result
I have the VHS cyclops but his visor is really off… you can see the gap in the head sculpt where the visor is supposed to connect and it doesn’t sit on his nose either! does anyone here know how to fix that?
Heat it up until the glue loosens then carefully pry it up place it where you like and glue it down......just be gentle
@@scottvillett4854 thank you!! I shall try
What flight/figure stands are you using?
Mafex stands
Love The cyclops def an Upgrade. The Jean is meh, the weird Uniboob sculpt. Love triangle Jean still The best
No way. VHS Cyke is better.
“Jean Grey pleasure pose” 😂
At last their versions that I'm happy to buy! 😃
I don’t know how they manage a good ball jointed waist but can’t do a diaphragm or double ball neck at all.
11:31 😂😂😂😂😂
Best Cyke to date but that head sucks lol I’ll definitely swap with Love Triangle one since that’s the only Lee Cyclops I got 😅
Would like a Jean Grey civilian, at least a head sculpt
I really do need a Jean Grey figures 🤔 really bad. All I have is the AoA and the Phoenix version of here. I had the marvel girl 😫 🤢 🤮, but I gave that pos to my son 😂😂😂😂.
'97 Jean Grey is def worth the pick-up!
Jean with a laughable torso articulation, very long and lanky arms and hair that looks like it's made of Play-Doh for how bad it looks, cartoony or not, it looks bad, the 4-inch toys from 97' have better hair definition.

Cyclops looks fine, but you'll need to pose him with the optic blast, the other head looks bad in every possible way besides the nice golden visor. also lollipop syndrome again.
Hasbro zealots will love these.
finally somebody with critical thinking here
I really Dig the New Cyclops & Jean Grey Figures. 😂😃😃👍👍
Holy god, Hasbro. Give that Jean figure a wash.
They Look Good!
It's Ray Chase and Jennifer Hale of Earth-92131B.
Look like his marvel vs capcom 2
Really lacking effect pieces if cy comesd with one the other xmen should
jean doesn't really look like her from the show, it bothers me quite a bit
Is the Jean worth picking up if I already have the love triangle three pack one?
To me X-Men Legends 🇧🇷🤤
::sigh:: Jean Grey pleasure pose
Righteous review. They're cool. I dunno? I'm not really excited about this wave and I'm not sure why.
Why m watching you play 🤔🤔
"Jean Grey pleasure pose" ??? 😂😂💀
X-cellent review!
second!
This mf line is too cartoonish looking. Might get them on card and call it a day.
First!
damnit
Yeah killer upgrade for sure, bu the Animated 97 series is a Woke disaster 😂🤣
X men is designed to be woke lmao
Cyclops head is over sized and sculpting is not desirable
