Bmutha Reviews thanks man, so I’ve posted my video. I gave this statue a high rank. I didn’t notice the hair sculpt issue you had. I’ll need to go check mine to see. I agree with you on some of the sloppy paint apps. Very detailed review Kris, awesome job!👍🏾
I bought this too. I agree the torso is too long. I think the 2nd torso looks ok though.I havent recieved mine yet as I am still waiting on my brown suit Wolverine.
I can't explain the torso thing...I think you'll find it looks ok from certain angles, and strange from others. Let me know what you think when it comes in!
Great review dude. Cool statue but I had to choose between this and the SS one and I went with the SS one because I think that portrait is so cool with him screaming. Always love your reviews.
Once again PHENOMENONAL review. Always attention to details. MAD CONGRATULATIONS on adding this statue to your collection. After seeing this review I going to look into getting this statue in the coming weeks. Now were talking with the 2 torsos, to bad you can't swap out the arms. Thanks for sharing.
Great review once again! To me this is the Cyclops statue to own. I love how XM gave us collectors a switch out torso instead of just an extra portrait. It totally makes me feel like you own two different statues.
Great review! Always love your honest and detailed review videos. I can't wait for mine to arrive on the first week of June! Only two more weeks to go.. I love the paint & sculpt and the design of this piece. Best licensed Cyclops ever! 9/10!
Very cool 😎, congrats on a fantastic piece . I’ve been out of the hobby for a bit but I recently pre-ordered the XM Red Hulk . Good to be back in the collecting game again .
Definitely version B for me. And this is the best Cyclops statue to date. Cyclops finally getting some love. Very analytical review, but I feel you really nitpicked this statue compared to others.
Nice one, B, congrats! Gone back and forth on getting this one, but I'll be getting the sideshow. Though, I like the XM slightly more, SS will be half the price, in the US, anyway. If Cyclops was one of my favorite characters, XM would be my choice, no doubt! I'm in pretty deep on the SS XMen line, and I think he'll look great next to Jean Grey. Psyched to see him in the Bmutha collection, thanks for another great review!
Fantastic review, dude! As many people here, I am still trying to decide between this and the SS Cyclops. The XM costs double. Does it really worth it? We all wanna know your opinion about SS one, please.
I think if you are a huge Cyclops fan, you have to look at the XM version B, because you are basically getting two unique statues. If you are just looking to add a Cyclops because you want to have a complete X-Men team, Sideshow is a better affordable option, especially if you live in the US. So, it really depends on how you feel about the character.
Great review as always. Cool statue. It looks more vibrant than the SS version. Still waiting for someone to do Cyclops statue with his ‘80s costume, or the navy blue costume from Astonishing X-Men series.
Cheers Chris, looks like I'm going to have to cancel this as I have the Omega Red on PO and running out of space. Its a shame because I really wanted a Cyclops statue.
@@StatueBossProductions Not interested!! XM need to do better than this! Seems some of there X-Men line is a bit off for some reason. Mystique also had an issue and the Sabretooth doesnt look to promising either. C'mon XM, where is that XM magic?! These are brilliant characters.
Thanks for the review, he looks great. But very bad move to not inclure the battery, thanks the warning. Still annoyed by the hair issue at this price, even if its an easy fix!
Bmutha Reviews greatly appreciated because I should receive mine on friday :) by the way do you have pics of him next the dark phoenix xm or jean grey ss pf? Wonder how well he would display next to them
I don't have pics yet, but I have him next to Jean right now and they look good. Their colours are reasonably close, so they do pair nice. I'd have to move a bunch of stuff to get him next to Dark Phoenix, though, lol
that's the issue with XM, the proportion is kinda off just like you mentioned, even when you compare this to the beast statue ..cyclops looks bigger than beast, like the daredevil for instance the legs looks quite long compare to the body, ... the sideshow looks better
Despite the issues with the XM, I still like it better than the Sideshow offering (he looks like he’s crying under his visor to me, and I can’t unsee it, lol). At any rate, as long as there’s a Cyclops out there for everyone. I wish now someone would make an 80’s style costume instead of always this Jim Lee 90’s version.
Sideshow has a more traditional look, and if you live in the US, will be significantly cheaper. However, I prefer the faces on the XM (someone said it looks like the Sideshow Cyclops is crying, and it's difficult for me to unsee that now, lol), but that's just personal opinion. Neck down, they are fairly similar aside from a few added details on the XM.
Thanks for this great review B, thinking to take this Cyclops. But you don’t talking about the issu from the head size. Many people who received him says is a too little if you compare it to the head of the Brown Wolverine. Cyclops is more taller than Wolverine. It’s the same problem with the XM Mystique who she’s oversized. Let me know what you think about and if you can make a video comparaison with the other statue of the line it will be great.
Cyclops is not underscaled. Cyclops has the correct 1/4 scale sizing, especially when compared to SS pieces and even other XM pieces. Brown Wolverine is overscaled just like Mystique. Brown Wolverine is 1/3.5 scale.
I am going to go on a bit of a rant here about the hobby in general, so please don't think I am directing this at you, :) Scale is absolutely one of the most overblown things in this hobby. Cyclops' head is smaller than Wolverine's...so what? Cyclops' head is also about the same size at the new Colossus PF, so who really has the small head of these three statues? My answer is none, because they each look appropriate on their respective bodies. The only real factor of scale that matters to me is height. This Cyclops is somewhere between 18.5" and 19" tall, the Brown Wolverine is around 16.5" tall (slightly taller than he should be, but sorry, that's not close to 1/3.5), and Colossus is around 22". If you could stand them up straight side by side, each character would look appropriate relative to each other. So, when people take these side by side photos on their phone of just the heads, they're missing the bigger picture. Anyway, that is just my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of removing hairpieces to turn a light on in someone’s head. And with this Cyclops having all that flowing hair, it just reminds me too much of a toupee. Also, with those nasolabial folds and yellow adult-diaper underwear, I can’t shake the feeling of him being a geriatric grandpapa Cyclops. Might just be me. But once you associate an idea to a statue, no matter how far out there, it just stays with you forever and you end up not buying it.
I was also very excited to see review and great job on review. Proportions of body are so off though and they make him look to bulky. They called him “slim” in comics for a reason. I will say the portraits look a lot better than the pro type and screaming torso body is more proportionate. Great statue but honestly glad I went with SS instead. Thought sideshow isn’t as detailed as this one. Feels like cyclops from the comic book come to life on statue. XM did there own version which is pretty dope but they really messed up on body proportions wahhh. Otherwise really great statue. Hair issue was an easy fix too
Nah dude, that SS Cyclops is wack. You’re just trying to make yourself feel better by ordering a inferior cheaper version. XM Cyclops is phenomenal. Well done XM.
Shady hahaha I love the name you gotta look at all aspects of a statue I think most people are impressed by this statue because of detail and the detail is amazing def wins in that aspect but a statue isn’t all about statue... it’s how it makes you feel also overall how it looks and the fact SS has a beautiful sculpt and portrait and gives off a real life action shot to makes it win. The statue is accurate to jim lee version. Portraits on SS have been winning in many of there statues and also the pose SS feels like real life action and nothing awkward about his pose. Expensive doesn’t always mean better 🤷♂️.... gambit xm is more expensive than SS but the SS of gambit is honestly the best statue of gambit I’ve ever seen created and trust me you will find more expensive gambits
Nestor Martinez We’ll just have to agree to disagree on Cyclops. I have both a XM Gambit & SS Gambit ordered for pre order. They’re both unique in there own ways. I give the slight edge to XM. But I wouldn’t argue between those two Gambits.
Shady yeah I understand I mean it all comes down to preference in opinion on these statues. Honestly both companies make amazing statues and just go about creating statues in different aspects. I might be a little bias over side show because they have done a really amazing job on their x men line. Not to take away from sideshow but a lot of the statues remind me of the comics come to life or cartoons growing up which is very nostalgic for me. XM takes a more realistic approach on characters I’ve seen which is also amazing but personally for me I like the comics books coming to life on those statues:)
i will say it again.... BEST STATUE REVIEWER EVER
Wow! Thanks so much! Best comment ever!
XM killed this version(s) of Cyclops. It really makes the New Sideshow Cyclops PF look ten years old. Great review!!!
Agreed!
Thanks again for watching! Glad you like this Cyclops!
Can’t watch this because I have it coming in myself. I did leave you a early thumbs up though Kris!😉 I’ll be sure to check it out after my review!👍🏾✌🏾

Great review once again! To me this is the Cyclops statue to own. I love how XM gave us collectors a switch out torso instead of just an extra portrait. It totally makes me feel like you own two different statues.
Absolutely, the change of torso completely changes the look. Thanks for watching!
Holy shit!!!...3:57 brought back so many memories. Loved that cover
Good stuff as always .... I’ll put this piece over the SS version....that was some neat trick to fix the hair .... I’m gonna call you Macgyver!😉
MacGyver is ok...I will also accept Statue Boss, ;)

man this really looks a lot better than i thought it would based on the photos, congrats!

I love your defense of receding hair line, super cool, great video all around.
Nothing wrong with male pattern baldness, 😉😉. Thanks for watching!
Great review! Excited to have him on PO but it will be a while till he arrives, really like the base paint job from your video! Enjoy :)
Thanks! Let me know what you think when yours arrives.
You got it already! Amazing.. mine is showing up in the next couple weeks. Absolutely amazing review as always bro.
Awesome! Thank you! Let me know what you think when it arrives.

Very cool 😎, congrats on a fantastic piece . I’ve been out of the hobby for a bit but I recently pre-ordered the XM Red Hulk . Good to be back in the collecting game again .
Good choice! That Rulk is going to be a beast!
Thanks Kris, great review, need to find one now....
My pleasure, and good luck!
Definitely version B for me. And this is the best Cyclops statue to date. Cyclops finally getting some love. Very analytical review, but I feel you really nitpicked this statue compared to others.
Version B ftw!
Great review and awesome tips on getting the hairline to sit right!! I'm gonna go buy a few of those slim magnets right now :)

Awesome review! Enjoy watching your videos.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
This is sick Man!!!! But that second torso still has the lean..I thought. Fixed it
Thanks! Yeah, he's not standing up perfectly straight (talking about the screaming torso)...I believe that's by design.
@@StatueBossProductions xm was suppose to fix the lean...sometime ago
Nice one, B, congrats! Gone back and forth on getting this one, but I'll be getting the sideshow. Though, I like the XM slightly more, SS will be half the price, in the US, anyway.

Great review as always. Cool statue. It looks more vibrant than the SS version. Still waiting for someone to do Cyclops statue with his ‘80s costume, or the navy blue costume from Astonishing X-Men series.
I'd like to see a vintage costume as well...seems like every company immediately turns to this Jim Lee outfit. Thanks for watching.
Cheers Chris, looks like I'm going to have to cancel this as I have the Omega Red on PO and running out of space. Its a shame because I really wanted a Cyclops statue.
Ouch, yes, that's tough. I'm sure this will pop up for sale down the road for you. Thanks for watching!

this is yr best review so far brother thanks alot
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Great representation of Cyclops. Every statue has flaws but overall it is a really nice piece. Congrats
You’re right, there is no perfect statue. Thanks for watching!
Great review, even better T-shirt 😉
Ha ha...thanks!
ARGHHHH!! kicking myself for not getting this piece. Very well sculpted statue.
I'm sure there will be some for sale on FB, don't lose hope! Thanks for watching.
Can't wait to get mine😃
Excellent...let me know what you think when it comes in.
Hi Kris. This is Mike (Mister Ski) from the FB groups. Nice review! I'm looking forward to getting mine.

Thanks for the review, he looks great. But very bad move to not inclure the battery, thanks the warning. Still annoyed by the hair issue at this price, even if its an easy fix!
Yes, I was lucky to have a pack of those batteries handy, but thought I should warn people that have it incoming. Thanks for watching!

Great review as usual! Cyclops is one of my favorites and I'm disappointed with XM this time. I'll wait for a better Cyclops in the future.
Thanks for watching!
Overall the statue is perfect except for the dark blue patches. How i wish the blue in the costume has the same color tone
You could always have those areas repainted. Thanks for watching.
@@StatueBossProductions yeah. Its additional cost though
Great review, Kris.
Thanks, Lewis.
I got the version B coming next week, do you know what type of battery it uses for the light up feature?
Each portrait uses 2x LR44 batteries.
Awesome
Thanks, buddy!
Loved the review buddy and i posted it all over faxebook for others to see your awesome work, this is anthony by the way okay CHEERS
Thanks, Anthony, I appreciate the help spreading the word for the channel!
Nice review but you need to read Hickman’s Dawn if X series and update your mutant knowledge, it’s fantastic.
Ha ha...I'm old school, but I will get there eventually!

way better than the sideshow version
"Steven Segal style fighting". This is the biggest insult i've heard hurled at Cyclops.
