Or how he shoots his beam with no visor... that mask is pretty ****ing dumb unless now he literally is a cyclops with one eye in the middle and he shoots out of the red X

He does lol. The red X is his visor now

 

[meanstreak]

Ah... so he literally only has one eye in the comics now?

 

[meanstreak]

Looks like Emma Frost is the next one. (Early sculpt revealed at Wondercon)

For real? It looks like he has two indentations for eyes on the statue. Not one in the middle. Either way the costume makes zero sense to me. But, I haven't read comics in a long time. Is he blind? One eyed? Or just likes wearing a costume with a big X on the head to look cool?

 

[meanstreak]

Yeah, If he has two eyes I'm not sure how he can open his eyes and have it shoot from an X in the middle of his face

Stupid design IMO

 

[AC_808]

They (Marvel) should never have changed his visor design. An X on his costume should have been enough ...he didn't need an X on his face.

 

[zexion_armando]

Since his powers don't work properly anymore, and is a liability, I always thought the X was more symbolic. Plus most artists draw it illuminated, so its a very nice visual.

I'm mostly excited for Emma, Magneto, and Magik.

I'm on the fence with this line...I've been reading this entire X-Men arc for the past couple of years, and love the new team (though it looks like it's a mix of just random X-Men over any particular team due to the inclusion of Rogue for the most part. I like her character, but Kitty has played a bigger part in the Uncanny/All-New ongoing series that most of this line stems from); however, I'm just not sure about the 1/10 detail.

Cyclops looks pretty solid, but Koto makes such great pieces in larger sizes, that it's odd their 1/10th line aren't just as well made, only smaller. Emma Frost above looks like a mixed bag. I'll wait to see more shots from Koto (which will probably pop up this week) and think about it more. If I did delve into the line, I'd probably only nab Cyclops, Emma, Magik...and possibly Rogue. While she's not a part of the group I've read, I still like the character. All that said, I may still pass on the line entirely. I wish they'd done them like the DC Superman For Tomorrow/Batman/Wonder Woman 1/6 pieces! That'd be fantastic.

I'll probably get Magneto, Wolverine and Rogue if they come out good. Not sure about any of the others.

Ah yeah, Magneto possibly too. Wolverine would be a "wait and see" figure, as he really could go either way. Plus, I'm not a fan of anyone who was against Cyclops after the whole Phoenix saga. Especially Beast!

 

[meanstreak]

that paintjob looks almost as bad as sideshows...

 

[nemenforcer]

Hot dog I do like it though

 

[Golden_Boy]

I'm probably out on this line. I dunno, just not feeling it and have funds tied up elsewhere. When I saw the initial press release that these were coming I was excited, but this one underwhelmed and I'm not sure it's worth just getting Cyclops. Wish these were on par with their DC ArtFX line I mentioned before (not their 1/10th, but Superman for Tomorrow, etc...) as then it'd likely be a no brainer, as those pieces are beautiful!

 

[Bee1]

not bad.....

Paint job could have been better but its a nice statue.

Based on the size (1/10) and the price point (most are $60 or under), I can accept the paint job being a little subpar. Much more understandable than a poor paint job on a $400 1/4 scale piece.

 

[nemenforcer]

I'd agree the paint job is what I would expect for the price and scale. I'm fine with it

I agree. $60 is a good price point. I'd be upset if the paint job was on a $400 statue. *looks at sideshow
