I feel like he is almost always drawn in the comics with a resting bitchy pouty face (see below). The visor blast should have been a completely separate head sculpt with a more angry/yelling mouth....

At least Cyclops actually was in a relationship with Jean, he had a right to be depressed. Unlike this loser:

Someone has an unboxing video up on youtube:

Hmmm, interesting. The hands are actually not recasts of the ones for the Flash, they are different... looks good enough, I'm still looking forward to it!

Not bad. Man, that jacket will flake in a couple of years.

From almost the inception of the x-men, and later reinforced by claremont, scott was characterized as the most closed off, tormented bunch of the group, yet (arguably) the greatest team leader in comics. I don't feel like the expression authentically conveys the thematic elements that defined his character.
The head is definitely growing on me more than before especially after the unboxing video. Paint work on the flesh parts of the head looks pretty great so far as well, better than Wolverine from the looks.
I have both in hand and I think both have solid paint work. Here's Wolverine to illustrate my point.

Very nice photo 
: it looks good there but in other shots he looks to have yellow/tan color that a lot of third party companies use as their base skintones.

I'll try this again... for some reason, I can't seem to get the photos to show up properly vertically....
Cyclops finally in the house. Sideshow ships by DHL to my area of Canada, and I don't know what those delivery guys are doing, but they ain't delivering.
Anyway, initial thoughts.
Quite happy!!! After seeing the final production pics, I was worried about baggy outfit, etc., but actually, it's totally fine. I needed to do minimal futzing out of box as the shorts were riding a little high, and the harness had bunched up some of the torso spandex. But after moving everything into place, it's totally fine. Just like their recent Magneto figure, or the recent Flash figure (without the padding).
I would agree still that the body is a little bit thin, but in-hand, it's actually not that noticeable. To be fair, I'll likely keep the jacket on anyway, which is pretty well done. All my joints seem fine, body is pretty solid. Only issue is changing the hands. The sleeves of the spandex are not sewn or glued to the wrists, so when you change hands, you have to stuff the tights into the cuffs of the gloves, but at the same time, not impede the wrist joint. A pain, but not really a big deal.
In the end, I'm pretty happy with it (I did use some reward points, so didn't pay full price), it looks exactly as the prototype, which makes me even more excited for Gambit.
Here are a few pics out of the box, as well as along side the V1 Sideshow Wolverine. No lighting, just the light coming in through the windows.

Thanks for the review and pics : Love the one of the back of the head since we haven't seen that yet. Skintone paint work definitely looks like some of sideshow's best!

Nice pics, cant wait. Cyclops turned out great. Only thing I wish was the chest x emblem was made more shiny. Like a jewel . And they could of made the effects light up like the one :12 cyclops

Looks great! Their choice of fabric for Wolverine looks really odd now that this line is going forward.

I'm pretty sure that's why they gave him relatively skinny arms... so that the jacket goes on relatively easily, and he can still be articulated with the jacket. Not sure about yours, but with mine, the jacket is pretty form fitting.
I still love that brown Wolverine, but the difference in fabric is forcing me to consider getting the tiger stripe as well. But similar to my group of SS comic DC, I kind of like that all the bodies are a little different (as opposed to them all having the same bodies, or switching everyone on to a phicen body), and the materials of the costumes are a little different. I always figured the brown/yellow was from Wolverine's "Department H" days, or at least that was what I told myself as a kid...

Haha, the tiger stripe would have been the "department h" suit, at least the "whiskers" version - the gold/brown was retconned to be the yashida clan's colors, even though it was just byrne wanting to give his favorite canadian a new costume.

RIGHT!!!! I couldn't remember how that came about. Thanks!
I want to pick up this and the wolverine so bad, but I had issues with my magneto that they've yet to remedy. So kinda don't want to get any deeper on this line.
Got mine last night,
and it is perfect, in its ....simplicity,
It doesn't have all the flash of some other manufacture's and prior releases, and I don't mean that as a detriment, there is something appealing in its simplicity, there is no mistaking who this is, from close or afar.
It is cyclops, and its a fantastic representation of him, perfect amount of accessories, incredible outfit and a beautiful sculpt, My only gripe is that Sideshow didn't take this approach to their previous marvel releases
