So I picked up WO Cyclops and Iceman from a dude over at Hisstank, and here are my initial thoughts:
First off, I like both figures, particularly Iceman who I think is near perfect. As you can see, Iceman is just marginally taller than Wolvie.
The ability to pull of some dynamic poses is pretty cool.
My major beef with Cyclops is that he has no wrist or ankle articulation. By now, I sort of expect Hasbro to provide those basics, so it does take away from the figure a bit. A minor bitch is the lack of replacement piece for his visor when not using the optic blast piece (which sort of looks like red licorice spewing from his face). This is just more of a cosmetic thing for me.
Iceman is fantastic, IMO. One of the best. He's got this frosty clear look that's perfect for a man of ice.
He comes with this ice board that he can ride on, and as you can see, the balance on the piece is excellent. He's definitely the best WO figure, and possibly one of the best with regards to MU. However, he lacks wrist articulation which is a definite draw back IMO. Regardless, I still think he is the best, in terms of sculpt, look, playability and faithfulness to the character.
I can't wait for future X-men releases in the WO line. I just hope they're more like these guys and less like Gambit, which was just a total waste of space. I am excited to see what wave 4 will bring in this lineup.
