Not sure yet?.
Sounds more like a museum pose then?

Good point. Sometimes the base on the SS PF makes it tough/limiting to display with other pieces. But yea, I can see that with my multi-layers, it might be best to keep him.

No, not the XM version. Although I have seen one in person as a friend has it and it does look sweet. Just a bit more modern looking whereas SS is more comic/90?s accurate in my opinion. And yes, I too agree the colors are much more Lee appropriate on the SS version.

To be honest, I?ve been looking at a few customs with more ?roundish? type bases but would still have Cyclops a bit more upright but still showcasing a little bit of action. A straight up museum posed Cyclops doesn?t appeal to me unless I would do a solo display for him. On my shelves, I would have him in the front kinda like my current SS PF and therefore he would need to have some sense of action. I may keep my SS one. I still have to grab the Jean so maybe when I grab her I?ll have a change of heart.

And for the record……. My two favorite X-Men characters are Cyclops and Rogue.

Sheesh, I even cosplayed as Cyclops for Comic Con!! lol!!!

You're definitely posing but definitely not a poser in this hobby. A dyed in the wool fan with real love for this stuff.

Thanks QZ33, yea we can blame my older brothers as they were the ones who had passed down their comics to me when were kids growing up. I fell in love with the hobby and now the nostalgia is keeps me going I suppose. Keeps the heart and spirit young I suppose.
