Wolverine Marvel Legends Cyclops


It occurred to me as I was putting this up that I've not done a post on any Cyclops figure before. This would be the first.




This figure of Cyclops is of him in one of his more recent costumes. I think he first wore it in the Utopia story in the comics. I don't really like it because of the wrist guards and shin guards. I prefer the Astonishing look. But my favourite is still the Jim Lee version. The body uses the Bucky Captain America base body. The head sculpt is... well... Cyclops. His left hand is sculpted with his thumb and two fingers extended so he can do his signature "optic blast" pose. The figure has a couple of paint issues. There's bluish silver from his visor bleeding onto his face. The yellow of his gauntlets is patchy and it's of a darker shade than that of his shin guards. The lines on his costume were well done though.  




Articulation. There's a ball hinge neck, ball hinge shoulders, bicep swivel, double jointed elbows, swivel hinge wrists, ab crunch, waist rotation, ball hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees, calf swivel and ankle hinge and pivot.






Comparison shots.



He's the same height as Emma Frost.


This is a good figure of Cyclops. I hope we get a Jim Lee version which is just as good or better one day. Thanks for viewing!

Wolverine Marvel Legends Emma Frost (Manipulators of Memory)


Here's a look at the Wolverine Marvel Legends Emma Frost.




This figure looks like something you pick up at the flea market. There's no clothes and accessories. She should have come with her cape. She's incomplete without it. Still the figure is pretty good. The head sculpt is nice. She's got a mean, confident look. Her eyes, eyebrows, eyeliner and lipstick were well painted on. Her hair is well done too. It's got nice detail and painted with a mix of light and slightly darker yellow paint. Her top and the crotch area of her pants are light grey in colour while the rest of her attire is dirt white. The band of her pants is a separate piece and it's loose around her waist. It won't fall off or anything but it shifts about whenever I move her. Her feet are new. She's wearing heels. It makes her a little taller. And because of it she has some trouble standing. There are peg holes in her feet if you got a base to use.



I love her "frosty" look and shiny silver lipstick.


Articulation. She's got a ball joint neck, ball hinge shoulders, swivel hinge elbows, swivel hinge wrists, torso pivot, ball hinge hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and pivot. Posing her is a bit troublesome due to her heels.






Comparison shots. She's slightly taller than other female figures. She's taller than Astonishing Cyclops. I'll see how the new Cyclops compares soon.  




Now where to get a cape... Thanks for viewing!
