In 2024, Hasbro released a new "Marvel Legends Series Secret Wars" toyline based on the 1984 12-issue comic book series "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars".  Six figures were released for the "Secret Wars" toyline in honor of the comic's fortieth anniversary year - Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man in his black alien costume, Wolverine, Titania, and the Beyonder (in his "Secret Wars II" outfit), respectively.  A sold-separately figure of Iceman was released in 2025 and a second wave of action figures was released in 2026, consisting of the Absorbing Man, Constrictor, Daredevil, the Falcon, Magik, and Spider-Man in a half-classic/half-symbiote look, respectively.

However, one character that has yet to be included in the toyline is the first official member and first leader of the super-hero team the X-Men, Scott "Slim" Summers, also known as Cyclops.  Cyclops was one of the main characters of the "Secret Wars" comic book series and Cyclops was included as an action figure in a two-pack with The Incredible Hulk for the 2009 "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" 3 and 3/4 inch figures by Mattel for the comic's twenty-fifth anniversary year.  A figure of Cyclops in his classic costume from the 1970s and 1980s was recently made as a two-pack with Jean Grey's Marvel Girl for the "Marvel Legends: X-Men '97" toyline, so it would be easy for Hasbro to make a new sold-separately Cyclops figure for fans to buy in the "Marvel Legends Series Secret Wars" toyline.

Fans hope that Hasbro will make a new Cyclops action figure in his classic '70s and '80s X-Men uniform, with new alternate heads with a calm expression and an angry expression, a possible alternate civilian head of Scott Summers wearing his red ruby quartz glasses, a removable cape, open hands, and a red optic blast accessory for his visor for fans to add to their collections.
