I'm pretty sure it's the Red King from Planet Hulk. Ah - yeah, I've just read this over n the wave 74 thread. Red King sounds like a solid guess.

Though I MIGHT try to customize one... Let me know what hair piece you end up going with. I'm more of a Byrne Jean person because that is the era that I was first introduced to her but the sheer fact this costume and toy exist make me very happy. I can't wait to get two maybe three sets from Luke. One to save for all time, set two to display, set three for a potential custom for Jean mask hair and extra Professor X.

Nessex Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Real talk - if I *NEVER* see a Cyclops figure in that John Byrne costume again, I will be happy. I know it's an iconic era of comics, but I've seen it made in almost every line. Lego has done it. Marvel legends has done it twice. Marvel Universe has done it twice - maybe 3 times.... Minimates have done it 3 times. I know they wouldn't fit thematically with a BD Miniskirt Jean, but there are a few variants i'd rather see before a BD Byrne Cyke. Erik the Red. Blue & White X-Factor. X-Terminators, Red X-face costume, Dark Phoenix Cyke, Future/Turban Red & Slym Cyke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Blue & White X-Factor Cyclops is a look I'd really like to see, both because it would be nice to get the Inferno-era X-Factor team, and because on it's own, that look would complete the Toybiz X-Men series 1 lineup.

So much potential and yet another Graduation Cyclops. Also I think it's great we can almost make this Jean too. I personally won't mind the yellow instead of Black mask but it will be fun:    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I mean... it's probably my favorite Cyclops costume, if only because it's the one he wore during the best era of the X-Men, but it's not a great costume. However, I personally feel that most costumes the X-Men have worn are ugly as sin. The original costumes? Ugly. The "graduation" costumes? Ugly. The GSXM costumes? Mostly ugly. The Jim Lee costumes? Ugly. And on and on and on. I've just never cared for the X-Men aesthetic, for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, some of them are pretty bland or just odd (Cyclops, Banshee, Wolverine), but Dave Cockrum's Nightcrawler is IMO one of the best costumes in comics. Thunderbird and Sunfire have nice designs too, and while there isn't really anything special about Storm or Colossus, I think their costumes work really well.

stack32 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'd buy that Cyclops costume a few more times if they made the visor yellow and not misshapen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Is it going to include a hairpiece to let me create a FA Wanda to go with Toad, Mastermind, and green Quicksilver? No? SIGH! No, no, it's okay. I'm very excited. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Have we ever had a true "Byrne" visor or mask? I don't recall any. Yellow for me too please. I honestly think that's Cyclops best costume, probably due to that being my favorite X-Men era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â How about a Mirypedia entry for Mastermind? Sigh... Okay... Jason Wyngarde was carnival mentalist (this was the 60's folks) when Magneto recruited him into the first incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Using the name Mastermind, Wyngarde used his illusion casting powers to aide in Magneto's takeover of a small South American country. Mastermind's power was to create illusions that affected all five senses so strongly, that even those who knew they were illusions had a difficult time not reacting to them as if they were real. He remained with the Brotherhood until they were forcibly disbanded by the Stranger. (Jason was turned to stone for his trouble) He later recovered and joined the short lived Factor Three conspiracy. After knocking around the minor leagues a while, Mastermind petitioned to join the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. Since they still had standards back then, they gave him the task of trying to convince the newly powered-up Jean Grey to join them. Given a device by the then villainous Emma Frost/White Queen that allowed him to project his illusions directly into a single person's mind, Mastermind began to drive the Phoenix crazy. (and also made himself much better looking) Well the plan worked too well, and they unleashed the Dark Phoenix. She broke Jason's mind, though he got better. Probably Mastermind's greatest achievement came a few months later, when in an attempt to get revenge on the X-Men he used his powers to convince Mariko Yashida to call off her wedding to Wolverine at the last minute. Even after everything is discovered, they never marry and is probably one of deepest wounds Logan suffered. After being practically ignored for the next decade, Mastermind is one of the many minor X-People who died from the Legacy virus so we'd think it was actually threatening. And unusually for an X-Character, he's staid dead. Barring temporary resurrection in reality warps or techno-organic magic viruses. Though a full accounting of who undied in those reality warps has never been taken and given his abilities, it's always possible some writer will decide he's been knocking around quietly ever since Age of X or something. Mastermind did like to use his powers to make himself more of a ladies' man, as evidence from his three known children, all girls, all half siblings (cause he is a bad guy on so many levels after all). Two Martinque Jason (Mastermind II) and Regan Wyngarde (Lady Mastermind) inherited his abilities, while apparently he hooked up with an honest to God fairy and their union produced the X-Man Pixie.
