Rarity
Rare; it was only available in one set (76022) which was retired years ago, and there have been very few X-Men LEGO sets produced since.

Accessories
Included in the set was a hair piece (item 15482 in reddish brown) for Scott Summers look and a standard black LEGO blaster representing technical equipment or powers.
Color Scheme
Blue and Bright Yellow; the iconic 1990s Jim Lee X-Men color palette with gold/yellow visor highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and head; no printing on the arms or legs which was standard for this era of Marvel sets.
Variants
This is the classic suit version; a newer '97' version (sh946) was released in 2024 which features leg printing and a slightly different visor style.
Condition Notes
Check for cracks in the blue torso under the arms and wear on the yellow belt printing. The blue cowl print on the head can sometimes show scuffs from helmet/hair swaps.

Character Background
Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, is the field leader of the X-Men. He possesses the mutant power to fire powerful concussive optic blasts from his eyes, which he must control using a specialized ruby-quartz visor.
Design Notes
The torso uses a bright yellow 'V' that tapers at the waist, effectively mimicking the comic book aesthetic without requiring dual-molded legs.
Similar Minifigures
sh946 Cyclops (X-Men 97), sh118 Wolverine (Brown Suit), and sh116 Storm (Black Suit).
Collectibility
High; as one of the few comic-accurate X-Men figures for nearly a decade, it remains a pillar for Marvel collectors and fans of the 90s cartoon.
History
First LEGO Cyclops ever produced; it marked a major milestone as LEGO expanded the Marvel license beyond the Cinematic Universe into Fox-era comic properties.
Interesting Facts
The 'V' design on the torso is slightly different from the 2024 version, making this specific print unique to the 2014 release; often mistaken for the 2024 version in low-res photos.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside the 76022 Blackbird cockpit or alongside the 2024 X-Mansion (set 76294) to create a diverse team lineup.
Modification Potential
Commonly modified by collectors who swap the legs for 'dual-molded' blue/yellow legs from other City or Super Heroes figures to give him yellow boots.
Overall Assessment
An essential figure for Marvel collectors. While technically surpassed in detail by the 2024 version, the sh117 remains the 'original' and holds significant historical value.
