My inner child is screaming at this amazing new Cyclops replica visor

Hasbro just said "to me, my nerds" with a replica Cyclops visor based on X-Men '97, and it's a doozy.

Designed as part of the Hasbro Pulse premium roleplay line (like last year's phenomenal Wolverine helmet or a remake of the Incredible Hulk Fists from our childhood) this recreates Scott Summers' signature eyewear as seen in the animated X-Men '97 series. As with so many of the best toys, the replica Cyclops visor also features premium detailing and lights up at the press of a button. Oh, and you can wear it. Did I forget to mention that?

Fortunately, this isn't a one-size-fits-all sorta deal; the visor has different nose clips and flexible sides to fit various face shapes. That means it isn't gonna slide off your face just when you strike a pose at this year's Halloween party (mortifying).

Not that you have to slap it on, of course. If you'd prefer to keep the visor on display instead, it features a blackout back for the lens to really help the light effect pop alongside a frame that makes sure its ear pieces stay in the right place.

Speaking of the lighting, something I really appreciate about the Cyclops replica visor is that it can display different settings (full beam down to barely-on, or a flashing mode to simulate firing) at the press of a button on the side of the frame – just like the cartoon. That can bring your costume to life if you're wearing it to a Con or an Avengers: Doomsday showing later this year.

Does the visor's chunkiness make it look somewhat goofy when on a real-life human being? I mean, a little. But because it's based on the animated X-Men '97 series, that oversized design is sort of the point. And if it's a deal-breaker, hey - maybe we'll get a sleeker, more realistic version down the road based on James Marsden's new costume in Doomsday? Stranger things have happened.

Here's what Hasbro Pulse has to say about the collectible:

"Hasbro Marvel Legends proudly presents this 1:1 scale reproduction of Cyclops' Ruby Quartz Visor from Marvel Studios' X-Men '97 Animated Series!
