Yeah, looks the same in HK.

Kinda too late for me to back out. I've preordered Cykes many months ago. In fact, since last year.

But, man, I really wish they didn't change it.

Can't say it looks like crap but this was destined to be the best Cyke ever. Why, Koto, why?!!

He looks like friggin Robocop now!!

Thanks for sharing the video. I actually think Cyclops looks okay, good even, from that footage. If they kept his visor accurate then he'd have been something special, but he's far from a bad statue overall.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The visor isn't a deal breaker for me, honestly. Sure, it looks bland when compared to the promo sculpt. But the overall figure is still bad ass, and the visor isn't some huge wreck (like if it were glued on crooked or was too big and covered up 3/4 of his face).

My only kinda concern is that they changed the paint for his blue costume to a blander color, and how he's gonna look sitting next to the rest of the DRS releases with their metallic colors

Thanks for the video link, Spidey.

I wish someone would take a better video with higher clarity.

But this video showed me that the visor doesn't really cover his nose too much. Somehow the toyark picture & angle gave me the impression the visor left only a little of his nose tip visible. Also, it shows the visor as red not the "hollowed" look on toyark photos.

It's not a deal breaker, because everything else is great. The body structure, body build, definition of muscles.....but would have made it perfect.

Looking forward to take home Scott Summers/Slim aka Cyclops from the shop once he lands in Malaysia.

I assume the visor lens is a piece of plastic that they somehow lost for the prototype. It does look better with it.

To be honest the statue is not half bad. Not my favorite in the line though. I never liked the face expression. It seems that Cyclops is taking a dump (it just that intense).Yes, the paint app is flatter but it is the norm with Production pieces Lately. Now, with the modified visor, he certainly looks like Robocop as dark spidey mentioned. I would've preferred a light up feature to seal the deal for me. Oh well, the aftermarket it is.

Dude, the guy is shooting deadly "optic blasts" force out of his eye balls. It's gotta hurt.....hence the taking a dump or constipated expression. Lol.

The sentinel base is cool but not unique IMO. Even though, it is the first one for the Danger Room Sessions line, it's what we have for the Bowen Cable and the upcoming Bishop. I just don't want to have too many bases looking almost identical in my display. It is still a great concept.
