My local FB toy group informed me early this morning that they were back up.  I debated it and ended up pulling the trigger (not yet sold on the color).  As the work day went on, I decided I made the right call.  When I get them in had and if they don't work for me, I won't have trouble unloading them.

My god, when are we going to get a new classic Cyclops? I have the one from the 2-pack as well, but it desperately screams for an update. It's probably my most wanted Marvel Legend right now. I'm really surprised one hasn't been announced yet for the near future. It seems like a no-brainer.

It's going to happen as surely as they are going to do an entire wave dedicated to the classic arcade game.  In fact, you will see the Cyclops you're asking for in wave one of that set.  It is certain.

Someone has an Odin in hand and did a review.  He's looking nice, I'm excited for this one.

That lineup towards the end is niiiiice (around 54 minutes - I just scrolled looking for scale shots, I can't do non-Robo vidya reviews). Love the scale on him - appropriately big and beefy, but not so much taller than Thor that he looks ridiculous. He looks great.

Indeed- much better than Anthony Hopkins size, haha.

@yojoebro82 Glad that video wasn't overly long.

 

Man, I can't wait to get this beefy boy. He looks as amazing as I'd hoped he would.

Ohhhh man I would have absolutely lost my shit if they had been genius enough to cast Brian Blessed. Aaaaand also now this Odin, who previously I would have made speak in Clancy Brown’s voice (A:EMH cartoon), will now DEFINITELY be made to speak in Blessed’s voice!

 

”TO ME, MY WARRIORS THREE!!!”

 

Damn. Now I need the Warriors Three. Get on it, Hasbro.

This is an interesting follow up to the comment that this new figure is better than the "Anthony Hopkins sized" one -  since Blessed is only one inch taller than Hopkins.

 

Unless the comment had nothing to do with the actors size and was just a random insertion of retroactive preference for character casting of one 80 year old man over another

You don't google Brian Blessed. You just say his name three times and he shows up at your house to narrate your life.

Relevant, along with an interesting tidbit about his role in Star Wars:
