Lego Series 9 Collectible Minifigure - Cyclops With Club (71000)

Product Information

There have been been larger Lego sets to be sure but yes, it is very large. The real question is, can the market meet the asking price? Well, that is very hard for us to predict ahead of time.

Although we are very open as to the exact characters in the final roster, it is important to us that it includes an equal (plus or minus one) number of female and male characters. We know that this will not be difficult to accomplish as the overall roster of X-men characters. Like our previous project Assault on Wayne Manor we decided to go with the Lego Modular footprint, but again, with a twist. A bar hangs down from the ceiling so that the Beast can perform his iconic pose of “sciencing inverted.” This type of figure is called a "big-fig" In Lego circles. Such a figure requires the creation of new Lego parts and it therefore not something we can officially request though a Cuusoo project.

The intent of this project is to campaign Lego and Marvel to produce a Lego set worthy of representing one of the most famous institutions in the history of Comic Books, the X-Mansion It is very hard to assess which other characters should be included or how many at that. For that reason we are leaving the rest up to Lego, Marvel, and You. Storm and Cyclops (Not inherently Included): It is hard to imagine the X-mansion without at least one of these character’s being included. When we initially started this project they were both required characters. However it has now been revealed that Lego will be producing these characters. That of course does not mean that they cannot be included. We just no longer feel the need to push for them as they will be in the collective of existing Lego characters, like Wolverine.

Now, as any real fan of the X-men knows, the Danger Room can mimic any environment required to test the mettle of the X-men. Such a task is beyond the scope of even the most expansive Lego set. With perhaps the exception of cerebro, there is nothing more iconically associated with the residence of the X-men as the Danger Room. Please also share this project with any other individuals or organization you think might appreciate it.We have included a variety of classic elements: a combat robot, grappling arms, rods and rings, crushing walls, and dart throwers. Not displayed are also a series of flame throwers and beam weapons. Please note, on our journey to 10,000 supporters we may find the need to change up the proposed roster. We give you our assurance that though we reserve the right to do so, we will only do so with great consideration. The simple statement “Beak should be in this set.” is bland and lets face it, unconvincing. There have been over 100 “official” X-men since the comic debuted in 1963, and this is ONE SET. So, please, be creative, make a case!

We have populated this room with a series of “high tech” panels and a collection of minifig scaled equipment including a microscope. The board on the wall depicts a DNA chain and an “adamantium skeleton with claws” (what could that be?). This proposal is first and foremost to produce the X-mansion. Of course, everyone has their favorite cadre of X-men and sadly we will not be able to include them all in a single set.We will be the first to say that this set is extreme with no less than four stories. Our proposal includes (starting from the bottom left of the image):

We have however attempted to portray the Danger room in its default state. Metallic walls that are ready to spring traps and obstacles that would challenge even Omega Level mutants. If nothing else, we are showcasing to Lego and Marvel just how big the demand is for these characters. Beast: Beast is foundational character. Very well liked and his intellect and physicality allows him to server in a variety of display and play roles. When this model is closed in the “storage” it remains a handsome display while taking up a minimum footprint. However, the sides of this modular fold open along a vertical axis creating the distinctive wings to the classic X-mansion.Hello Marvel comics! There is a fan campaign to create a Lego X-Mansion ( https://ideas.lego.com/projects/53799 ). It needs only 10,000 votes for Lego to review it. Mystique: This is fundamentally the home of the X-men. The more blunt foes of the X-men would not be well suited to the concept of the set. Mystique however is an expert of infiltration and suits very well with the premise.
