What I love:

- the sculpt, best 1/4 Cyclops for me
- the two torso. Now I can see it in person, I think I prefer the second torso with the screaming head.
- the gold paint on the visor
- the blue color with the shading on the suit
- the teeth!! Best teeth I've seen on a XM statue, it's day and night compared to Weapon X! But Scott needs to brush his teeth more often lol
- displayed perfectly with SS Jean Grey PF... I have finally the perfect Jean/Scott couple!



What I hate:

- the sloppy paint, especially on the belt...One of my torso is very sloppy in this area, I'm going to ask for a replacement
- the sloppy paint on the visor of the calm head...
- they don't include batteries, for the price asked it's not a smart move
- the switch button, I know its perfectly hidden this way but it's annoying the remove the hair to switch on...
- the base is kind of dull...


To summarize, I love this piece but I expected better QC.

Can you take some closeups of the areas that you said had sloppy paint, from that distance I can't see it...

Thanks

Wow!! Great photos!! I've been waiting for collectors to share a pic of SS Jean Grey with XM Cyclops! Finally there's one now! They look great tgt, I think I better save up for Jean Grey soon..

Would you mind if I share your pics around in FB groups? I think some collectors are still eager to see how both of them display tgt.

Here there are







it's like it's not the same person who painted my torso A and my torso B...
I think the worst is the ripples on the gold paint on the visor.
