Cyclops
A decent figure that straddles the line between GH and the new Marvel style. Based off his classic Jim Lee era costume, this is a fine figure. My biggest gripe is the right arm, which only looks good in a single position, otherwise it looks horribly broken. C-
Magneto
A good figure that does an adequate job displaying part of Magneto's power set. The levitation gives him some height and the arms used give him a nice commanding presence that Angel can't quite pull off. The figure is unique enough but lacks a wow factor. B

Overall, I agree with Jester. This is a pretty good 2-pack.
Cyclops has on a terrific costume. It's overall a great design, and the waist and left arm articulation in particular mesh very well. If you turn Cyc's right arm, it looks like he's pointing at his "package." This may be a good or bad thing, depending on your opinion of Cyclops. B+.
Magneto has the standard flying/launch pose. It works well with him. Overall, a decent figure though I prefer the bolder colors of the 4-pack Magneto. B-.

Magneto is cool up on his ball. He seems powerful that way. He's good but there's something about him that's missing.
Cyclops is dressed the way I remember him. I imagine a number of us grew up with Jim Lee, this is THE Cyclops costume in my eyes. I also like that I can make him point at his junk.

Cyclops: This figure does a good job as a statue, because it only really looks good in his preset pose. As an action figure the pose works for battles so its not so bad, just doesn't allow much variety. The costume hes wearing is exactly what fans of the animated series would like to see him in.
Figure Grade: C+ (Respectably Above Average)
Magneto: Nice dynamic pose displays how powerful he is, and a good way of showing off his hovering ability. His articulation works good for a variety of hovering/attack poses. This figure could be improved upon, but not much.
Figure Grade: A- (Nearly Perfect)
Overall Pack: B (Almost a B+)

And I've wrapped up wave 1!  Cyclops isn't bad still, but I like his Astonishing look more. Magneto on the other hand it the best version of the character released and worth getting. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=1936 |
