Cyclops Premium Format 2019

[FunkSway]

These super hero’s got the strength and talent to pose however they want in the heat of battle. That’s why they’re super. Take it or leave it.

This one really excited people! Lol

I could swear I read someplace where mental control technology was made for him to couple with the visor. I mean for god sake, they have costumes made of unstable particles that can change as needed, I don't believe he needs to touch the visor anymore. That was vintage Cyke, not post Shi'ar etc.

I see what y’all are saying, and I’m not saying y’all are wrong, that’s two different explanations between y’all though, but I am saying is I’m going by the in-comics explanation that I’ve read, not what I believe, interpreted or made up. Artistic interpretation can show anything...it’s how we get Blue eyed Peter Parker, brown eyed Wolverine, black/brown haired Scarlet Witch, Storm with cat eyes vs normal shaped eyes, Phoenix engulfed in actual fire vs the original psychic energy, etc...also I wasn’t basing anything on the cartoons, sticking with the comics.

I used to love that cartoon though!

But again:

But if you’ve read something different about how it should work I’d love to know (not being facetious, I’m interested).

Yeah it seems like the deeper they go into this line they are leaning heavily to the Jim Lee styles. Less sideshow tweaks, makes the first couple seem a little put of place like Magneto and Wolverine (astonishing costume) I really hope they revisit wolverine in the blue and yellow and do the true tiger stripe uniform like the OG. Rumors are that a brown wolverine is coming next.

Gem mint collectables on YT has a booth tour vid from the con, Cyc is the only new PF reveal.

Demona, maybe he does have mental control technology, I don’t know. But as far as post Shi’ar or the costume you mentioned, I did post that and for whatever reason anybody wants to give for it, he’s indeed touching his visor:

I’ve read most of Claremont’s UXM. Giant Size-Up to Kitty joining right after the DPS is my favorite comic run. Claremont was on UXM for what, 17 years or so? That’s a lot...typically 12 issues in a year, not to mention whenever it was twice a month. I’m sure there’s stuff I’ve missed reading, especially outside of UXM, and I’m 100% sure I just don’t remember certain things. It’s nearly 20 years of comics. I haven’t read some of that stuff in years. Overall I dig it but there’s some pretty convoluted stuff in those comics!

Why shocked? This is that big? I’m just going by what’s been explained in printed comics I’ve read.

Also, Jim Lee, the great artist he definitely is, was also drawing torso’s like balloons...I’m just saying...

This Marvel Database also states the same
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Cyclops%27_Visor

Thanks AC. Although this is a Fandom site, not Marvel, but this shows he’s had at least 5 different visor versions. I’ll take FunkSway’s approach...really this all depends on who writes draws or assumes whatever they want to write, draw or assume at the time.

It was in the movie, but the movie got it from the comics.

Is there another event this year that they may reveal more PFs?

Just website events, like Spooktacular and 12 Days of Sideshow.

There's a sense Sideshow are dialing down on 1/4 PF's. Maybe the plan is to make a bigger splash in 2020
