NO ONE LISTENS TO ME :(

That Johnson guy was hired to redesign the costumes for the new action figures they are releasing, they are more "battle" costumes.

I quite like it, but I like the left drawing of it far better than the right one.

Then again I don't mind the Astonishing costume too much either and never was a big fan of the Jim Lee-costume.

I dislike it completely. It's all superflous change and makes an otherwise elegant, simple design too complicated.
The only thing I could get behind is uncovering his head. Whats with the shoulder thing?
No good.

Can't hear you, what'd you say? I can't wait to see that new costume in the comics. :D

i liked cyclops new x-men costume, i liked most of the new x-men costumes they looked casual, scott needs to take the mask off and just have his visor like he did in the 90s i hate that pic of him on the card on this thread and i don't like his current uniform it's blands and no shape or anything.

I'm glad that's just for the toy line- i much prefer the Astonishing costume.

As much as I don't like him going back to the cowl, I think it's just how Cassaday(sp?) draws the head that bugs me. The AX suit looks fine to me in the other books Cyclops shows up in.

I'm happy that they're (kind of) getting rid of the cowl, but I don't know why they had to change the costume itself, nothing wrong with the overall design.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if that huge shoulder detail was actually a very thick strap for Cyclop's new mandbag?

It's true. This is the best summary I've seen of Cyke's current threads. If aliens landed right now and asked me to describe Cyclops' costume to them without using pictures, I'd say "bland and condomesque."

What better way to cover up a big dick than a big condom.

Remember the "If they mated" Conan O'Brien sketch? This is what happens when you take the Astonishing X-Men costume and let it hump Jim Lee's iconic one.

^haha nice one.
the astonishing costume, i feel is intended to come off badass, but it just doesn't...it's more of a big black condom than anything else. They should redesign it, make it blue, and remove the hood part...the leather jacket look with the big day-glo yellow was much better, as were most, if not all of his previous uniforms. If they're insistent on Cyke in black they should use this little-seen design instead:

No offense , there but i find your redesign ugly ...sorry

I actually agree with Fishtaco on that one. I do think that costume rocked.

It was only around for like 2 issues or something though wasn't it?

It makes him look like a double-hard bastard rather than a pathetic gimp.

The Sal outfit wasn't bad, I hated the hair on it though. Cut the hair and he's a badass.

I think perhaps it was slightly out of character. I imagine Scott gets regular haircuts. :D

Dude, long(ish) hair is cool. That's why it didn't suit Scott.

He may be hard, but he has the fashion sense of Dwayne Dibley.

Bet you've got well-short hair yeah!?

I've been shaving my head since I was 9. I use either a No-Gaurd or a 1-Gaurd. Between my time with football and in the military I've come to love it.

But yea, that haircut suits someone like Gambit, not Cyclops.

Dude, people with shaved heads, are people with no imagination.

My hair looks the nuts, and its only just slightly shorter than Larocca Cyclops has got his.

Grow your hair man!

But it did make sense, because he was changed after being possessed by En Sabah Nur for several months. I don't think he would've focused on getting his haircut during that time, and even Wolverine noticed a change, a loosening-up of his personality during the two-man siege that they pulled on Genosha during Eve of Destruction. Of course, it was two issues, and Grant Morrison totally changed how he was changed by having him bone/not bone Frost. It was a stupid change that did nothing but feed Morrison's ego.

True dat.

I really liked that loosened up Cyclops. It was nice development.

Until it was crushed by Morrison.

do you think scott ever laughs? as in when jean tells jokes (if she does tell jokes)? what about emma?
he probably says, "that's amusing jean/emma" or "that is funny" but he doesn't laugh. he's an old stick in the mud sometimes...reminds me of Xavier.
He laughed in Uncanny 460 when Beast put a clown nose on him.

A hearty one at that.

While the new costume sucks its better then the one he has right now in Astonishing, though that ain't saying much.

It was supposed to be a take on 'A Christmas Carol' featuring Emma Frost. :)

Dunno about that.

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of Gambit being blinded was though?

And how can sage just stop someone from being blind? Seems a bit far-fetched to me?

Austen had plans for it, probably some sort of weird mutant sight powers. After all, Gumbo did see the Brotherhood in his playing cards, even though he was blind. I bet Austen was planning to turn him into the X-Men's Daredevil, but since he left the book Marvel wanted Gambit's sight back for Milligan's run. So CC took care of it in his Christmas issue of X-Men. As for how Sage did it, same way she saved Beast's life. She enhanced his body's natural healing ability by amping his mutation to evolve. Funny how one of Sage's abilities are only there to alter characters for other writers. ;) :D

Hey, like I said don't blame CC on that. She only does that when a writer wants a character altered or fixed for their run. Not like it's something she uses regularly. ;)

Yes, how marvelous that she can heal people better than Elixir.

Well, blame that on Austen. He'd already established that Elixir couldn't heal Gambit. Because he wanted to keep him blind, since he had plans for that. :)

That cover is really nice, too. Claremont planned for Emma to play Scrooge (I can't spell his first name). I would have loved to see that.

What a horrible costume.

I think there's something dignified in Cyke's simple, streamlined AXM costume. It says "superhero leader" without saying "I'm from the 90s." Outside of the Morrison look, it's my favorite. But this? Ugh. Take everything I like about his current look, and then, blast it to hell. That's how we get this costume.

(BTW, I do listen, and I get that this isn't for the comic. It's still ugly)
