Today's Marvelous Custom was done by Ryno, yep, that's me. I've created a
Current Astonishing X-Men Cyclops (Unstoppable) figure. Here is a little something I wanted to share about this Marvelous Custom.
- Current Astonishing X-Men Cyclops - Unstoppable Story - 05/06/07
Recipe: Xorn body, Daredevil Face-Off Variant Head, Punisher Face-Off Gun.
Procedure: Dremeled off details on torso, some detail just below the knee and on the back of the head just to shave down. Used Apoxie Sculpt to sculpt the hair in the back and give the proper belt. Used Hasbro clear rubber bands for yellow trimmings on arms and legs. Painted with cheap-o Apple Barrel Paints.
Story: Since the very moment I read that iconic last page of Astonishing X-Men #17 where Cyclops miraculously saves the day in his old New X-Men costume with gun in hand having just shot White Queen (the fake-mind-one), I've known that I needed to make that figure. As of this writing, he is still running around in this outfit and still no powers or visor. I like his shift in persona, a little bit of a loose cannon and he really only uses the gun that one time, shooting down all those uh Emma-head people err whatever you would call them. Of course if/when he gets the visor back, I have plans to get that into this custom too. Along with my year old Astonishing X-Men Beast custom, I'm happy to put Cyclops in and have a totally complete current Astonishing X-Men team. I've also included pics comparing this Cyclops to my first custom the New X-Men Cylcops and some Work-In-Progress photos as well. I hope you enjoy.

Nice job. That is just MADE of win. Win & candy. ^_^
Seriously, I would love to have one...I might just have to try it myself if I can get my hands on a Murdock head.
Nice use of Murdock's head. Cool custom overall!
Damn!! That's a really cool shot of the Astonishing Xmen Figures!
