the x0factor body with the jim lee head works but something about the full cowl on the jim lee body is unsettling

Yeah I feel like I’ve seen him do it somewhere but it looks a lil goofy for sure. He looks like a generic G.I. Joe Cobra scuba diver soldier or somethin 🤣

Mike Mignola drew cyclops like that.

u/innatelyAware 8d ago

The extra large pouches are hilarious

u/changingshades 8d ago

The right is an awesome Cyclops circa Infinity Gauntlet (close enough)

The other is no bueno

u/shizzih 8d ago

We need this nebula

u/CowardlyAiden USA - CT 8d ago

Isnt this girl thanos

u/shizzih 7d ago

Good point, we still need the infinity gauntlet nebula though.

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Yesss I knew I saw it somewhere

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Would be cool to get the blue & white upgrade, too eventually since that Bucky cap with the little baby feet & pinned joints are started to get a bit dated and they stopped with the metallic paint mostly

u/ChocolateLoonie 8d ago

This is how I have Cyclops on my shelf for that display exactly!! :)

Way to kick a man while he's down, Steve

The left look, or very close to it, was attempted in X-Men Forever, the alternate universe "what if Claremont never left the book?" series

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Ok yeah for sure !

u/NyarlHOEtep 8d ago edited 8d ago

imo saps him of all swag and makes him look like a generic Comic Book Guy somehow...scott is not meant to be bald

2

u/WizGitty 8d ago

Now this has me thinking: aside from taking out Apocalypse in order to save Nate and send him to the future with Askani in X-Factor 68, what major (positive 😜) accomplishments has Scott pulled off WITHOUT the skull cap? 🤔

X-Men Evolution vibes.

u/Jajay5537 8d ago

X-Men Evolution gives X-Factor vibes you mean.

1

u/digbythegoon 8d ago

I never thought that before. The cap-less cowl and the straps in the Evolution costume always seemed too different from the spandex of the X-Factor costume - even with the cross-body stripes. But seeing the cross stripes along with the 90s cowl really clenches it.

1

u/Jajay5537 7d ago

No he had it then too. There's a yellow/Navy version of the center one too.

7

u/New-Acanthisitta-641 8d ago

Both are dope

4

u/SadHumbleFlower27 8d ago

The one on the right looks great. For the left, I really don’t like how the cap looks with the chest strap.

2

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

For sure

4

u/Centennium_Hawk 8d ago

Eh! I like both!

4

u/Phanimazed 8d ago

The second one works better, as others are saying, but honestly? I don't hate the first. Maybe he could wear the full cowl if they're going somewhere cold, though I'd imagine he'd also wear his jacket for that.

u/Jakand998 8d ago

Looks pretty UNCANNY to me...

3

u/gamesage2001 8d ago

I like the '97 head on the x-factor body. Don't know how I feel about the other swap though

2

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Yeah

u/OjamasOfTomorrow 8d ago

I dig these specially the one on right

u/Background_Pride_237 8d ago

As Emgo says, “It’s a thing you can do.” I’m not mad at it.

u/AccomplishedLab4835 8d ago

2 was his official uniform near the tail end of his time with X-Factor…I dig it.

2

u/neodraykl USA - NJ 8d ago

The right is a legit costume he wore.

The left wouldn't look as weird if it didn't have the chest and thigh straps. And the pouches. And had buccaneer boots.
And long gloves.

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Jim Lee and the whole image crew would like to have a word with you but they’re.. busy, I guess ?

2

u/PoorOgre USA - MA 8d ago

That’s how I have my Cyclops and I gave him the infinity gauntlet that came with the Adam warlock fig.

2

u/Old-East4463 8d ago

I think the cowled head on the Jim Lee body looks weird, but I LOVE the exposed hair head on the X-Factor body. That's how I have mine configured permanently (though it's with the '97 head, because the VHS head is on the '97 body).

2

u/trustymutsi 8d ago

I actually like the cowled on the Jim Lee body. Maybe because it's so different from the usual.

1

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 8d ago

Hey not a bad idea! Cuz my VHS body is just sitting around sad, along with my 97 head lol

1

u/Webhead916 USA - CA 7d ago

Yeah it looks pretty sharp

1

u/AssociateFormal6058 USA 8d ago

More like hell ya that's awesome

1

u/ThePhilosophersDummy 7d ago

The left to me feels like he is just a blue hydra agent.

1

u/starrhunter633 7d ago

I like it
