Hey my man, that’s how it’s starts, you buy “one” figure in then talk yourself into another and another and before long you’re trying to figure out where to store all your pieces 😂
Aesthetically I prefer the Marvel Legends. I'm not talking about accessories or articulation, aesthetically I like it better, especially the headsculpt.
I honestly sold a lot of my OG ML collection (kept a few that Mafex has yet to do..) and went all in on Mafex. I loved ‘97 but I need the x-men I grew up with and that was Jim Lee X-Men.. Just glad I got enough for them to upgrade to all the Mafex figures out currently and thankfully got them at Hobby Japan before they sold out. The best part about Mafex.. is they’re the “perfect” version of the character. If you get any of these X-Men figures you won’t really ever have to get another version. And yes, that 97 Cyclops has a horrible head.. weird ass baby face/cheeks. VHS one is fine but lacking accessories.. plus has the celshading.. which you can remove with alcohol. But still a lot of hassle and extra money spent to get a perfect Legends cyclops.. and they’re charging 70+ for the VHS on 3rd party sites now.. so, may as well get the Mafex.
I agree with most of what you said. The ONLY pushback I'd say is. When it comes to leg articulation. Especially on wolverine. Legends beats mafex easily. And that let's him crouch down and hold those poses soo much better than mafex
i have both. Marvel legends Cyclop's body is much more proportionate and taller than the Mafex. The one thing dislike about the legends one is lack of accessories and the optic blast on the head looks like a pussy.
Lol yeah the lightning collection is DEAD and I’m so mad at that for collectors. But I have the Jim Lee Magneto already. I may do a review on him but I’m not sure yet.
See I think Mezcos character designs and remixes are cool (in concept) but the soft goods make me anxious. I think their Wolverine is REALLY good though
I'm holding out hope that the model kit company Modoking makes one of Cyclops, their Bale batman looks amazing and their comic Miles Morales has so much potential.
Mostly a Mafex guy and I beg you to keep making more of these reviews! You and DAmazing are the best
Wow. To be mentioned with a GOAT.
I appreciate that
Probably the most chill reviewers I’ve seen.
Love the review! Just seen this guy go up on Mercari and I been looking for a fig to buy and this just might be it. Keep it up 🤟🏾
Thanks manI LOVE the paint application on this Cyclops, but honestly, for the Price, The Legends VHS Cyclops is a GREAT Option too!!
Dude! Your reviews are awesome! You just earned yourself a subscriber. Keep it up!
I appreciate it UCE!!
i love your reviews so calming to me
the two fingers to the nose reminded me of an old Chappelle skit lol. Great review.
Ahhh you caught that!?
Yessir! This is a beast figure and I have mine with an alternate headsculpt with the cowl. Love this figure and it was an automatic must have for me.
Super dope
keep up the good work man, love the videos
Well appreciated Uce!!
great lighting and video quality. what camera do you use?
Thanks Uce. I use the iPhone 14 Pro

EXACTLY!!

Yeah I think I’m leaning more towards legends too
Good review 👍.. can’t go wrong with having multiple cyclops’s. Too many good versions of him to pass up.
That’s so true. Also, don’t tell anybody but I just picked up a custom head for the ML and it might just make it a little bit better than the Mafex
D amazing vibes love it
D amazing is the Truth!! His knowledge on the figures he reviews odds NEXT LEVEL!!
I appreciate the compliment tho Uce

Yeah. Mafex just has that more clean aesthetic to it. I like the proportions on both tho.
totally agree with you. Further more imo ml vhs cyclops head sculpt looks better. Sadly ml vhs version have only one head
nice video, I'm publishing my one today about the marvel legends one about 4 months too late
The good thing about Great figures is that they never go out of style. Let me know when you post it so I can check it out
You planning on getting the Jim Lee Mafex Magneto? Also Lighting collection isn't on hold anymore, it's dead. They lost the license.
Lol yeah the lightning collection is DEAD and I’m so mad at that for collectors. But I have the Jim Lee Magneto already.
I may do a review on him but I’m not sure yet.
I need a Mafex Astonishing cyclops. I'd also take a nightcrawler
The Legends Nightcrawler is a good figure in the meantime
“2 G-pleasers!”
Lolol
Subscribed!!!
Lmao, Jean pleasers
Legends looks more accurate. Mafex QC issues always been an issue with me collecting them
Depends on what are you compare it to. Is all preference. But I actually REALLY like the Legends. Like a Lot!!
Maybe even more than…
More accurate to what?
X-Men ‘97. This is based on the comic book Jim Lee look from the early 90s
I hate that super sloppy yellow paint job on the leg bands. I can clean that up for sure. Otherwise cool looking figure.
Me Too, and I'll be honest... I think i like the marvel legends better.
Is it just me or did they make Cyke look like Schwarzenegger?
He does look Strong as S**t!!
@ that lower face is all Arnie, man! Lol
hows the connection between his biceps and shoulders tho pop off easy or no??
Mine didn’t pop off. And I was trying to bend and flex him to the max
@@KindOfCollecting that's awesome you got a good one then
Don’t nothing match the mezco cyclops tho. I got that one and legends. But man after seeing this. I gotta get this mafex one too.
See I think Mezcos character designs and remixes are cool (in concept) but the soft goods make me anxious. I think their Wolverine is REALLY good though
Wait, is this a re-upload?
Nope. First upload
@@KindOfCollecting Ah, I see. My apologies. I think I must've just gotten confused XD
But that aside, well done with this review 👏
I'm holding out hope that the model kit company Modoking makes one of Cyclops, their Bale batman looks amazing and their comic Miles Morales has so much potential.
That’d be super interesting. I’d like to see how that works out
