Medicom had a big surprise for X-Men collectors last month prior to New York Toy Fair 2019, when they unexpectedly debuted a Jim Lee Cyclops MAFEX 6” figure at the Winter Wonder Fest in Japan.

While Mezco Toyz had some of the biggest show-stopping premieres at New York Toy Fair 2019 (including the insanely cool Ghost Rider & Motorcycle set), they didn’t have quite as many never-before-seen Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures on display at their booth as many fans might have liked.
