Not one for the 200x fans, but i still quite like it. Would have preferred Man-E-Faces for this release though.

The thing on his back should somewhat appease 200X fans. Otherwise, it's super-duper-eighties accurate.

That looks pretty good but I doubt that he would have that spin gimmick.

I also don't see why this would not please 200x fans - The design is still very similar since it was originally faithful to the vintage toy:

I just thought he looked a bit stumpier instead of slender, which really made it look vintage, plus the finer ring elements on his helmet and shoulders.

Well he has to look stumpier. That bulkier 'vintage' look is the general aesthetic basis of the Classics line but there is still enough 200X there with those back rail things to please both.

Personally though, I don't care that much for the character so I may give this one a miss and just go for the cheaper 200x figure.

Maybe it's just the non-asian head throwing me for a spin (no pun intended!)

Sy-klone!! WOOOO!!!! *Does Happy MOTUC dance*

I like it alot,but please more snake men mattel.

Wicked! I love it - except for that thing on his back (never liked that on the 200X figure either - Unlike that figure, I hope this one is removable though!)

I think that it's probably removable just like Webstor's spider legs backpack.

Fingers crossed!

I'm also curious to see how they do the articulation with his blue 'fins' on his arms. It looks really good in the pic!

[kurdt_the_goat]

One of the recent Matty Q&A's i believe answered that, apparantly the fins are only attached to the upper arms so he retains full articulation.

Looks good - there seems to be a lot of parts that wont see further reuse.

*sigh* thankfully I've been able to ignore the niggle to collect this line. Between Transformers and the occasional "hanging out with Anakin Skywalker phase" my non-mortgage/non-food budget can't take much more punishment.

But Sy-klone was an android? Really? Can't remember him from the Filmation years, but are they mixing him up with DC's Red Tornado?

[Tallestblue]

The Android/Robot hullaballoo (That's right, I said Hullaballoo.) Is really just Toyfare not being entirely accurate. One of their reports about the
200X SDCC exclusive She-Ra said she was He-Man's cousin. Oy.
Sy-Klone's a dude with wind powers, not a robot.

Sy-Klone's a dude with wind powers, not a robot. True that!

In those pics he does seem a little more Asian, I think, specially on the face close up.

[kurdt_the_goat]

Yeah i think you're right.

One thing's for sure, he will definitely stand out on the shelf with that yellow!

[Tallestblue]

He kind of looks like George Takei...Oh My!

I was thinking Toshiro Mifune :)
