1/6 Present Toys PT-70 / PT-71 Mutant Man C (X-Men Cyclops)

[Bgnyc007]

Hell yes I’m all in for the X-men especially for the 90s suits.

 

[Bgnyc007]

That looks like the XM cyclops statue btw lol.

 

[Hologram AI]

Looks a lot better than Sideshows Skinny Cyclops that they did. Been waiting on third parties to pick up the gap in the market. I hope PT or SooSoo does a new Wolverine next. Never really liked any of Sideshows versions. They all had wonky sculpts.

 

[Bgnyc007]

We need more females like Jean, storm and Psylocke. And more villains like a comic Apocalypse and Sinister.

 

[maalmurph]

I would’ve preferred the name “Sy Clops”

…this could be good if it actually looks like this and it’s not Photoshop twickery.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Not a fan of the overly busy design, but I like the body so I’ll probably pick that up to upgraded the Sideshow figure. He’s looking a bit squatty in this one pic though. Wonder if this is a new body they’ve developed and if they’ll be using it for a future tiger stripe Wolverine? Not sure about the headsculpt either. Either way, happy to see more of my favorite Xman, so looking forward to the full reveal

As mentioned above, they definitely basically took the XM statue and turned it into a figure. Too bad they didn’t replicate the XM headsculpt though.

So I guess if SooSoo isn't going to continue their X-Men line PT is jumping in.

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

Looking forward to seeing some more pictures. That right arm bent to touch the visor like that looks either photoshopped, or like the elbow/hand couldn't quite bend enough to touch the visor and they're using forced perspective to give it that impression.

Agreed. Why add those unnecessary lines? Major downer

Not enough leg belts and pouches for my liking. Gonna have to pass.

Didn't Sideshow already make a plain-suit "I'm wearing a Spirit halloween spandex" Cyclops for people that want the animated series look?

Plain, giant swaths of solid color from comic books work because there's inking, shading and muscle definition to give those areas visual interest. Its giving your eyes lots of detail and depth to parse. Adding texture changes and seams to physical fabric costumes where you can't get the same adherence to muscle definition and shadows/highlights is just a different way to do the exact same thing.

Without it, you end up with

Nah, you just need an appropriately sized and well defined muscle body to bring out the musculature in smooth spandex which hardly anyone has really made in 1/6. They’ve done it for 1/12 and those bodies look great in spandex. Sideshow’s laziness to not do that is what makes their figures look like what you’re referencing.

SSR recently developed their in-house muscle body that looks pretty good on spandex. Zica Toys have also made a really good muscle body near the size of the TBLeague M35, but more superhero proportions than Arnold proportions that looks great in plain spandex.

You don’t need tons of panel lines or fabric textures if you have the correct underlying body.

What you said, 1000%. Plain, untextured suit with no design or patterning whatsoever just comes out looking like a super polyester suit made in the 1970's.

Now there is a market (clearly) for those that want that plain-jane but that was already done by SS.

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

Even if you stuff a larger body into a suit so that the fabric has no choice but to contour to the general shape of the muscles, you still don't overcome the problem that, outside of extreme lighting situations, there will never be enough shadow generated to create that visual interest to these large solid blocks of color that you see in the comics. Especially at scale, where the shadows are always going to be subtler. Panel lines and different fabric textures compensate for that lack of visual distinction.

You're welcome to have a preference of course, I'm just saying there is a reason that films and television add panel and texture changes to these costumes, and will continue to do so when interpreting them from 2D drawing into 3 dimensional representations.

It can definitely work.

Believe it or not, that guy is wearing a spandex suit.

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

I stand thoroughly corrected.

 

[Rexus]

I prefer the extra details over plain spandex/nylon. Even with the right body, they can still end up looking like Party City cosplayers, though there are few exceptions to this. Also with plain designs, I don't feel like I'm getting my $$$ worth.

 

[Chopper Face]

Simply airbrushing some musculature shading on the plain spandex suit would spice up the SSC figure.

This one looks like it has potential. The face and build aren’t quite my ideal Cyclops, and I’m a sucker for the leather jacket look so would like that to be included along with a screaming head and a few blast effects in order to pick this up and get rid of the SSC.

This style will also fit with the SooSoo Gambit and Rogue better. I just hope the next few figures aren’t Wolverine, Magneto, or Gambit. I’ve been waiting so long for a 90s animated style Storm.

 

[Rexus]

I’ve been waiting so long for a 90s animated style Storm.

Yeah if we only ever get one more X-Men 90s character, I would hope it's Storm. I would love an extra headsculpt with the mohawk look, especially since she'll have that in the upcoming '97 show.
