The Hunt is OVER for a Cyclops Figure
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 26. 04. 2024
- I review the Mafex Cyclops figure from their X-Men wave. The rerelease comes with plenty of accessories to make for the perfect Cyclops. Whether you're an X-Men comics fan or X-Men '97 fan you will love this action figure.

Hows the shipping prices on amiami?
@@braddecker1857 it varies. Just add an item and checkout to see your options.
Hobbysearch is usually pretty good as well
@@braddecker1857 they give you several company options. Itâs still been cheaper for me than ordering from US companies like BBTS. They also send you an email when it is ready to ship with all the info you need and you have to confirm and make the payment at that point.
@@seanswader7425 thank you
You wanna get any import figure cheap, use a shipping forwarder that will hold your stuff in a warehouse and buy from taobao. Create your own "pile of loot" at the forwarder and ship a bunch of stuff at one time.
This is good info
Any links to decent forwarders?
@@Monsterism I'm in China so I don't use one. I hear Superbuy is decent but I believe they just dropped PayPal as a funding method, so there might be better options.
Speaking of characters Mafex need to make, I need Nightcrawler yesterday!
Would be incredible
Iâm so happy at looking at you do the X-men Mafex series!!! So happy to see this channel flourish!!!!
Thank you
I think itâs currently sold out at a lot of places, but does get a restock. I usually shop Hobby Link Japan, or Hobby Search, or amiami and the all have a price of around $55 before shipping. Most of the older Mafex figures are more or less right around that price, but some of the newer ones are getting to the $60 or $70 range from the Japanese sites
Thank you for sharing the info
Yeah, the pricing (like literally everything since January 2021) keeps going up up up. Wasn't *_that_* long ago when stateside Mafex figures cost $60 off sites like Big Bad. Once they started pumping out comic figures in 2019, the pricing jumped. But yeah, it's definitely been nuts with just about every new release, the price increases.
We're paying the gaijin tax!
Try the visor on the back and the blue in the front, thatâs how Jim Lee drew him with his mask down in most of his appearances post 90âs Xmen #1
Itâs not sculpted to work that way. Unfortunately
@@NostalgiaUnboxed that sucksđ
I was just gonna say. Turn it upside down and swing it around the back. Butđą
Can't wait for the next review for X-Men's Storm in the background!đ€â„đââ
Tomorrow at noon
Missed opportunity to have Cyclops and Ryu shake hands
Oops
I saw your post on Gambit available on NerdUrbanity, appreciate you againđđż. Also looking forward to Mafex Storm video đ„
Thanks and hope it helped! He sold out quick. Storm is tomorrow at noon est
Only watched till the intro right now (watching while writing this) and can already see the massive professional improvement in you editing style . Hats off to you sir
Versus when? Lol
â@@NostalgiaUnboxedI mean your editing skills were really cool since when I have started watching you đ , but this intro invokes some personal yet professional styles which I am a very much fan of
@@Thekinggodzillawolfer I truly appreciate that
â@@NostalgiaUnboxed Hoping your channel growth is positively unreal this year ;)
@@Thekinggodzillawolfer thatâs very kind of you
Mafex is probably my favorite figure company rn, but honestly, for me, with mafex figures, it has to either blow me away or be a character i can't otherwise get a decent version of. Like with cyclops the hasbro version is a good enough base that with a custom head ill be happy. Ive got the mafex hush superman and batman because there really isnt i good 6 inch version available, and ive got the classic spiderman because i was blown away by it.
Thatâs fair! They do offer the best Superman and Batman, I think
The mafex superman is good but for my money nothing beats the mezco he's got smiling heads and effectsâ@@NostalgiaUnboxed
I definitely understand that because I went with the marvel legends and mezco cyclops and to be honest I like mezco way better just because of the light up feature plus the screaming head which alot of companies don't do for the character
I have to say Thank you @NostalgiaUnboxed. Because of your wonderful MAFEX X-Men videos I have gone off and picked them all up myself. Please keep the videos coming!!
Oh boy! You have a great collection now!
7:42 For real! I've been *_eagerly_* anticipating a Beast and Rogue announcement. After those, bring on Colossus, Professor X, and Iceman...so we can _finally_ recreate X-Men #1!
Another one I've been clamoring for is Sabretooth. Even though the recent hasbro one is great, it's just got some big noggins. So even though a Mafex version will be undersized, it'll at least have accurate proportions.
Would LOVE to see them finally wrap this line up. The Dark Phoenix is an interesting choice, but would rather have the main cast
â@@NostalgiaUnboxed
Yeah, that's a very silly one that took the spot of a much needed new character...same with that Cyclops variant. Mafex clearly has a "20 year plan" with completing this Jim Lee line-up.
Great vid bro! Have been looking for this figure for a while
Hopefully you can find one
@@NostalgiaUnboxed haha, yeah
Yet again, an awesome video!!! Love watching your stuff. The X-Men line you're doing is frickin awesome toođ€đ€đ€
Thank you
7:21 as far as i understand it, the visor has a gauge on it, he can make so he lets out a small blast or big one. That's why he touches the visor. OR, maybe there's a preset button or two. Like he thinks, "i have this set for this application, so I'll keep it that way. When the situation calls for it, I'll use just that!"
Now if he wants to let loose, if it's an indeterminate amount, he also has a couple triggers in his glove just like Spiderman for his webshooters. So there! Have you ever heard a better explanation?
Awesome!
your timing again is crazy
i literally just got this in hand.
Perfect!
Thank you for posting the sites to order from đ
This is a nice Cyclops and the paint looks even better in person. I feel his torso looks short and his hair is extra "boy scoutish" I like marvel legends better, but I can definitely understand why someone would prefer Mafex. We need a Rogue!
Yes we do!
It's sad that a $25 figure has a better head sculpt than a $100 figure.
@@johnny10grasp3 It actually retails for around 60$ but I digress.
@@spoodurmin9742 In what country? On BBTS it's over $100. I'm just hating because I do want it but not for more than $60.
Yes we need a Rogue. A "Thick" one if you know what I mean. For research purposes. Science!
I've been collecting the Mafex X-men, Batman Hush, Reign of the Supermen and I've pre-ordered the Knightfall stuff! Love how they do Superheroes.
So good
Love this figure so much!! So grateful for re issues man! Great review as always brother man! â€
Thank you!
This was a grail of mine that was sought after but passed after ML 97 came out. I donât know why Hasbro gate keeps their accessories because Iâd be down for a Cyke accessory pack.
Btw, Slim has a trigger in his gloves so he can shoot optic blasts without touching the visor.
Great review and †your humor.
Thank you very much
The pole is to use along with the clamp with the hole in the middle. You slide the clamp down the pole to keep the figure upright.
Iâll mess around. Thanks
I'd like to think that I was one of the annoying commenters that led to Mr. Unboxed discussing the overseas buying options, but probably not. Great video, as always. And also as always, I think it is quite sad that Mafex has stalled out in terms of progressing this line especially when they are so close to having a pretty much complete team. Only 2-3 characters away!
Itâs so close! They have the new Phoenix, but we gotta lock in the base characters
A great figure but to me is one of the few cases where I like Legends figure (in this case the VHS Cyclops) better because of the proportions and strap solution. Can't go wrong with either though.
Both are good
I really like the edits in your videos bro đ
Thank you
i got my reissue yesterday i have a couple problems wit mine, 1. right arm keeps falling off, not broken but the bicep cut keeps falling off from the upper arm 2. The glasses snapped off the unmasked head when i tried to take it off the body. Still a good figure tho
Dang! That sucks!
this review was a blast.. I did the thing with the words
My favorite words
I was washing dishes and this video just started to play out of no where, so I had to come and look at him.
Haha! I got you!
Hey thanks, Vex! And you too Johnathan! I always leave your videos feeling fully entertained in my giggle button zones.
Hahaha, thank you
Love your videos as always đ
Thank you very much
I'm not sure what's going on with this version, but the first version seemed to have a very squat torso but maybe the reissue had it slightly readjusted and maybe your posing made it seem more proportional to me and really making me reconsider getting this mafex Cyclops.
Part of me is still hoping for modoking, an official model kit company, to make the Jim Lee Cyclops cuz they're doing comic Miles and Gwen and i really love building model kits.
That would be a great item. Sometimes building the model makes it more meaningful.
Mafex makes the best version of Marvel's characters, no doubt. I love my retail Hasbro Marvel Legends because they can take years of posing and rough handling. But if you want a hi-end version of any Marvel character, Mafex is the best.
Absolutely
Genuinely love this dude. Funny reviews man. đ
I appreciate that
@@NostalgiaUnboxedand we appreciate you sir. đđ»đ€đ»đđ»
Mafex is simply the best. Yeah the proportions are slightly off on this figure, but itâs hardly noticeable once you pose him. I hope we get a Mafex Nightcrawler soon
That would be great
I agree Mafex produce the best Cyclops.
97 Cyclops is a good choice if someone not a Cyclops Fans and not willing to paid triple price.
But for Wolverine, my rank is ML97 > Mezco (detail, lots of accessories but I dont like the size and clothing) = Mafex (the long claw and the blue stripe not my favourite) > ML3pack > ML Retro. What do you think?
I donât have enough of those to really say. Would love to experience the Mezco though
2:03 đthat was wayy too funny to me, Iâm broken đ
đ
This is really excellent! đđđ
It is!
ZARK!
Lol
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I donât really care to begin collecting X-Men, but I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos about them. You are just a great dude to watch đ
@@reiddutchess9955 pervert
Also buy a lot of my MAFEX stuff from AmiAmi or HobbyLink Japan. This Cyclops figure is also my favorite of the X-Men figures. I've yet to get Gambit or Psylocke though. Thinking I'll pass on Psylocke since I'm not a fan of the portrait on that one, but hoping they reissue Gambit soon.
Keep checking the links for Gambit. He is still the best to me. Iâll be reviewing Psylocke, so maybe that will help
Great review. He looks fantastic
Thank you
Are you able to take the visor off and plug the beam effect directly into the face to make it look like Scott took off his visor for a bigger blast?
plugs are different sizes
I have Mafex Cyclops since first release. I was always saying this is best Cyke ever.
So good!
Nice blaster effects!
Totally
@@NostalgiaUnboxed i mean your blaster effect work. ha!
Mafex for the win. I love my Storm
So good!
so you aprove all mafexmen except wolverine lol
if you wanted a wider optic blast they would need to fit it in the suport or the head would fall forward, but would been need to make very thin sandwiched blasts that you would spread to the side with a hinge into the socket maybe
Cyclops and Gambit
Finally this is the review I was waiting for! I love how you're doing X-men Mafex! Sorry if you answered this already but do you have a favorite x-man from mafex yet?
Thank you. Def Gambit
I think u should repaint some of these bad boys cell shading works some times obvs depends if u keep everything og
I have watched âKen I Make itâ repaint the Marvel Legends figures and this isnât for me. Haha
I would love to see mafex give us the characters hasbro wonât, goblin queen, Mafisto, Man Ape. And so on
They could nail the comic look without restrictions
Also if you really want to have your mind blown by an import figure company, check out the Peter B. Parker, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy from Sentinel. Hands down the best version of those characters at 1:12 and they are the first imports where I felt the prices were 100% justified. I like MAFEX but I've definitely had issues with paint apps or joints feeling a bit too tight.
Thanks for the heads up!
Itâs so refreshing to hear some positive takes on these figures. Theyâre usually met with so much pessimism upon launch from a bunch of bitter reviewers. Theyâre excellent figures.
Thatâs weird
I wish they would make a moon night
That would be cool
A couple of the shots on the box look like Marvel vs Capcom poses
Totally agree. Especially the pointing pose with the sunglasses on
Reach Around 4000, lucky Scott!
đ
I wish a toy, cartoon or show would show the button on Cyclops glove that also opens his visor. Not a Cyclops fan, but this figure is pretty definitive.
I picture an Antman scenario lol
The best joke is the backwards âshininessâ. So subtle. Yet beautiful. Like Johnny Nostalgia.
Haha, I appreciate that
I blame this damn figure for sending me down a terrible rabbit hole. I now have a bunch of Medicom figures (and cannot wait for Phoenix in a couple of months) but our boy Scott here was the first, it's all his fault.
As for finishing the team, you gotta understand they typically only announce 2 new figures a month, which means 24 slots a year for the X-Men, or Spider-Man, or Batman Hush, or TDKR, or any of the Marvel and DC films, or Star Wars, or random ass iconic action flick guys, or even basketball stars for some reason. That being the case, I feel like we're doing pretty well as far as the X-Men go (and Rogue just got announced this week). Hopefully the rumours of Jubilee, Colossus, and Iceman prove true too.
And a Prof X would make for some awesome new figures! đ€
I just ordered the re-issue Mayfex Cyclops because the VHS Marvel Legends one has no blast effects. But the cheaper 97 one does đ€. Anywho I also got Psylock, Gambit and Magneto Mayfex. What are the other site we can get Mayfex and Figuarts? We all know Rouge is coming her and Beast are they only ones I'm missing to make up the whole team. So where can I pre-order rouge once she goes up?đ
Check the pinned comment of this video
đ I love the review I got my cyclops a week and a half ago , this got me
Wanna open mine up lol
Thank you!
Amazon JP has all the import figures. I get mine through them.
And at the better price? Thatâs awesome
@@NostalgiaUnboxed if you get it early enough or preorder when itâs being directly sold by Amazon. Itâs retail. I only get my Mafex and figuarts from there now because when Amazon ships through their network under a certain amount (like $200-300) you donât pay any customs fees.
I think you'll be happy with the Jada Street Fighter line.
I am
Cyclops has controls in his gloves which is why he doesn't have to touch his visor to fire blasts
Thank you
Iâm looking! Iâm looking!
And Iâm feeling things.
lol!
Hey vex thanks!! Jonathan thanks!!! Mafex thank you!!!
Haha! Much appreciated
âStop everything your doingâ Instructions unclear, I passed away of lack of breath and was resuscitated somehow. AAAANYWAYS nice review!
Hahahaha wow đ
Yo love the Chanel Iâve watched every video
Thatâs very kind of you
Do you think the tmnt turtles in disguise are better than pizza club turtles
I reviewed all of the Pizza Club turtles and compare them with TID
Ya I think ima stick with the disguise turtles
Nice vid great figure
Thanks
Rogue just got a tease yesterday đđ
So excited
we need a colossus , juggernaut , apocalypse , a cable and onslaught , a bishop.
Please
The "Reach Around 4000" lol

Came for the toy review...stayed for the Jean finger-bang innuendo. Bravo
Itâs not because he loves her!
Oh, that hand is for zaaaaarking. Gooooot it. Thanks, Jonathan. đ
Exactly lol
Will you try to get the Mezco Cyclops and make a comparison?
Maybe one day
im waiting for the day someone makes a pheonix force five cyclops from avx, or a cyclops post avx with the giant X face.
That would be great!
Nice im pretty sure this down visor goes behide his neck
Itâs not shaped to be able to do that, unfortunately. In front matches some Jim Lee panels, but behind matches the lates X-men 97 episode which does look better to me
If you use both finger blasters and gritted teeth you can the Invincible meme âTHINKâ
Haha awesome
"Reach Around 4000" LOL
đ
your fu@#(IN charisma is ubearable i love it!! Please never change!!
hahaha wow
You are diving into the deep end my friend with all these Mafex figures you are getting!!! It's a dark abyss for your wallet I know all too well!
Haha! Especially with US prices
Can't wait for beast
Need it
The mask off thing is for him to hold it if hes taking it off
You could do that too
Another winner đ
Itâs so good
Cyclops Carries the X-men
Until he is the Phoenix
Well, I won't be able to see the point hands the same again.
Lol, "not because he loves Jean Grey"

Cant wait for mafex njghtcrawler
That would be great
I donât need it I donât need it I definitely donât need itâŠI NEED IT Really I might pick it up

Great premium figure for a premium price.
A great one, indeed

Been wondering if you're getting the brown suit Wolverine? Not just 'cause they're on the cover of X-Men #1, but because they're the absolute coolest lookin' Wolverine figure ever made.
I know most just prefer it 'cause of the claws, but tiger stripe's super long straight ones don't bother me...I just love the brown suit . And since they didn't go very orange with it, you can get away with using the gritted teeth head; but I think that smirking (I'm about to tear ya six new buttholes) face is Wolverine perfection.
No plans for brown. Had it as a kid, but it never really spoke to me
Not the reach around 4000!
You better believe it
He has toes behind his toes.
Say what
we need a a hulk too.
Totally
My Cyclops' hands seem very easy to pop off when posing. Are you having that same issue? Thanks
Mafex wrist pegs seem a bit short overall. Since these are all reissues Iâm curious to see if newer items are better
Donât look now. Mondo cyclops. đł
I know haha
đđ great videos đđ
Glad you enjoyed
Plaza Japan
thank you
I actually like the legends wolverine and cyclops more than the Mafex ones. The proportions are way better. The mafex cyclops has no neck and his rear looks diaperish and weird.
No way!
@@NostalgiaUnboxedyour âNo way!â Immediately shattered my delusion. I just didnât want to shell out more but you are rightâŠI need them đđ
