and now we need a white phoenix and a green phoenix with this mold 😂 it never ends
I feel like Phoenix is one of the female characters that deserve a deluxe release with multiple heads & accessories
Perfect opportunity for them to reuse that fire effect stand
I agree 💯 percent
Shoutout to the dude who suggested the Black Widow head on the Phoenix body for Rachel. I like that. I do have an extra Black Widow, now I'm going to pre-order an extra Phoenix. I mean an extra extra... Thanks for spotlighting, DW! Great review, as always. 🔥
Great to have this upgraded one soon but 100% keep the Toysrus 2 pack if anyone still owns it as the heads were much better.. Nice review as always!
I still think I prefer the color and paint work on the older version, but the new body type and pinless joints make me much more excited for this figure than I previously was. Especially since it’ll work with the head sculpts from that older TRU set. Great video!
Thanks for making these videos, always gets me excited for my pre orders
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
People will probably talk ish about this new one but I agree that the new body is better but overall they look the same to me. I think some people who've had the old, expensive ones get a bit salty when Hasbro rereleases these figures and it doesn't make sense. I'm happy people get a chance to get this Phoenix for wayyy cheaper! I'm gonna get this new one, love a retro card X-men figure!
Same here.👍
I don't think anybody is salty about this release as the old one is superior in every way, this one is disappointing even if you don't have the old one
@@mikecustoms I disagree
Yeah I find the new one to be more accurate anyways
All color/paint from hair to costume is way better on the older figure. Only thing better the newer one has going for it is the sturdier body.
My setup is just waiting for her!!! Always a great show. Thanks Dan! ✌️✌️
A great review, always disappointed to miss the original. I hope theyreissue the Cyclops figure on an updated body, my favourite look for Scott! Do Wolverine next wanna see that strike-force body
this fig looks great. it only sucks that hasbro uses the shriek body over and over again like i think every new female body is on the shriek body. it sucks to see these figures have the same height and all, no variations except for the deco. why don't they just use other bodies so that the heights can vary and just make new pinless double jointed arms and pinless legs?
Is it me or the OG DP looks superior.
It sucks that Jean Grey went through suffering with her having the power of the Phoenix because she is awesome like Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, and Dazzler, Even though I don't have her, I will get her because she look beautiful despite being threatening as the Dark Phoenix, Awesome review on this cool figure Dan.
Don't feel bad, bro! The Phoenix actually cloned Jean and put her in stasis, so all that stuff she went through wasn't really her. But I guess she did lose some time being stuck in stasis... Still! It's fine. 👋
@@toylips And don't forget about Madeline Pryor aka the Goblin Queen 👏😁👍
This is great for those who missed out on the first one (like me!)
Excited for this one
I'm SO looking foward to add her to my collection!😍
Cannot wait to her at last! She looks great of the Frankie Ray stand too, good call! 🔥
I need about 5 of those stands for all my fire based characters lol 🔥
Keep killing it my bro, can’t wait to see the rest
You gotta get to the marvel select Phoenix effect to pair with this. Thing Is a game changer.
Thanks for another great review! And yeah, big shout out to Rush for the idea to kitbash that Grey Black Widow head with this new Dark Phoenix body to get Rachel Summers.
Dang gotta say... I honestly prefer the old one. Better color, better hair translucent and better curves (skinny legs but bigger thighs and abs more defined and detailed)but I prefer the double jointed arms.
I agree. The old version seems a little livelier.
I gives off more "dark phoenix" vibes. It looks more menacing.
Everyone prefers the other one.. Dan has to say he prefers the new one .
I have the two pack but I'm glad that other folks are able to get a Dark Phoenix. Ive spent a pretty penny getting the original of some of these updates but I don't mind that others are getting them for a decent price, cause I know what it's like to want a shot at a expensive character like the Spidey rogues.
How do you get these so early! I got my pre orders booked asap and I'm still waiting 🤣
Crazy to see this out in the wild so soon. Methinks Spiral is up next...
The nova flame effect on the Phoenix figure is 🔥🔥🔥
I sold my TRU dark Phoenix years ago. If I pick this up she's definitely getting a full repaint.
Missed out on the previous release, so I'm buying this one. However, this is just going to be a placeholder until the eventual Mafex version.
I’ve got a spare EndGame/Quantum Widow head I’m using for Rachel, tbh. She had the short hair with ponytail for years and debuted the red Phoenix outfit while still wearing it.
I’m hoping they revisit the green and white (FINALLY!) suits using those other heads.
And I still need that Excalibur 3pk. 🤦♂️ I had a gold suit Meggan ready, couldn’t decide between that Jean head vs Medusa head when they announced the 3pk, and never got around to finishing it.
Mine is on friggin preorder here in the States .
I guess for years we always got everything first now the tables have turned .
Galactus came to you all before us now regular figs .
Oh well .
Wonder what the turnaround will be .
Both look good to me. The original's decco looks better but I like the face on the new one better. Not having the original I'm happy they put this out there.
I do prefer the new body. Now they just need to improve the torso articulation on the ladies. Maybe a lower ab crunch to enhance the diaphragm ball joint.
I am glad to see Hasbro is finally painting the necks. Makes me hope that whenever we get a new Psylocke her neck would also be painted.
This one would be better if it had the original shading and maybe a translucent hair effect like the other one
Nice work as always Dan. Are these released in the UK already or did you get them overseas?
The newer body looks better also proportionally Jean is shorter she's 5'6 in the comics so her being as tall or taller than Scott looks off. I do like the translucent hair on the old one but the thing I wish on the new one is add some paint shading to the red and yellows. Which even if the old one didn't add much on that either the darker colors on the suit made it look a nicer but I prefer the newer body mold and that they actually added a pair of hands
I got the two pack for like 40 canadian dollars on a ToysRUs sale, I have this one pre order and so far this one looks better for posing of course, but aesthetically speaking the old one looks much better, specially the head.
I like the Dark red and gold color scheme on the old version.
I do love those cardbacks, but also hate them…bc I don’t want to open them and can’t afford to buy 2!!
Thanks for this review! I'm canceling my pre order and just keeping my old toys r us exclusive Phoenix. The old Phoenix is far superior
3 versions of Phoenix released by Hasbro and I'm still having to use the Marvel Select firebird effect...
I love your logo man
HEY DAN 👋, POW POW POW POW POW POW GOOD REVIEW AND AWESOME FIGURE.
Looks great. Better than I thought.
Wow, I didn't expect to see a review of her so soon. I think that I actually prefer the old one.
New Phoenix figure is good, but I think the plain red color has that plasticky action figure look to it that's rather boring. The darker red with the dark washes on the previous one destroys this new version's red colors all to hell. I'm not a big fan of the plastic belt sashes. Hasbro needs to step up their game and start doing some cloth goods sashes (with a wire inside) to joy the 21st Century of action figures being made today. The new, pinless body is the only reason to get this one, as it has no other perks or advantages over the previous version to speak of. It's super weak on the paint apps.
The Original one that I have is still better than this. The new one looks cheap. Great review 👍
we're gonna get a green suit phoenix and a white one down the line. been waiting for this red one and gonna sell my green one soon
Awesome review!
Thank you
First comment nice to see u got urs already
Cheers Robert 🙏🏻
Bro it's so easy to take off the cell shading all you need is acetone and q tips and it comes right off
The original version looks 100 times better hands down. Even the new body and pinless joints isn't enough to elevate the new figure in my opinion. And only one headsculpt and limited accessories to boot. I don't know why the Marvel Legends team can give us 1000 variations of Wolverine but they suddenly become stingy and meager with rolling out the most wanted figures. Ridiculous. I'm glad that you have the TRU version because seeing them side-by-side was definitely a treat 😎👍 great review
Oh so true.... This new one looks so cheap. I'm okay with the regular one that I Have. Easy pass.
Agreed. I'm sticking with my OG Dark Phoenix
the new femal body is not shaped as feminine as the old one. It fits some characters but fall short when you want a less muscular and more feminine type of character.
Then don’t more for us 😏
@@slxcelxfegaminghere, you can have this one 🖕
Why couldn't Hasbro just give us the 2-pack colors on the new body? In both the cartoon and the comics, her costume was the dark red. That different shade of red around the Phoenix logo looks weird too.
Next Spiral Pls
Thanks for the review. It's nice to know that my original Dark Phoenix 2-pack can work well with the updated Dark Phoenix. I'm sure Hero.Collectibles would feel a little better knowing that he couldn't sell his Dark Phoenix and a huge sum of cash.
I might cancel my preorder, the old phoenix is still the best imo
Still a great figure I agree 👌🏻
Imagine if hasbro made rachel grey with this suggested kitbash🥶
Great review Sir 👍
The older one is miles better, the curvier body, the darker color palette, the translucent hair, the WAY better face painting (the print tech painting is awful idc what any of you say it’s so fuzzy and ugly looking on every figure they’ve done it on), like the old one completely knocks the new one out of the park. Yeah this figure has pinless double joints but they made the body thinner and put zero effort into the paint or accessories. Really tired of marvel being lazy with their Jean Grey figures she deserves good figures with effort put into them
The colors are not good on this version. Would have preferred a more maroon than the bright red. Previous one has better colors.
That's a strong yellow.
Why do they keep making her costume wrong? There should be black behind the Phoenix logo on her chest.
Edit: looks like Marvel goes back and forth with it depending on artist. Weird
Good review….it’s not Avalanche but it’s alright I suppose.
Oh yikes after seeing this next to the original release, you have convinced me to cancel my preorder. Thanks!
Review spiral next
Yepppp
By the time I'd got around to trying to order this when they went up for pre order they had already sold out 😭
I just started collecting marvel legends. Only the designs I really enjoy but even so they are grossly overpriced for what you get. They need to have 2 heads, 2 hands and toe hinge for the price they they are now asking for these.
New one looks like female version of ronald mcdonald.funny thing i was gonna sell the old one but thanks to u that aint hapenning.great review brother
to be honest, I like the TRU dark phoenix more
I will get this so I never have to open the two pack I have from toys r us 👍
Spider women colors , and when spider women drops we get Jean grey colors but probably gonna b good ..... 😆🤓 😂
Original Dark Phoenix from the TRU 2 pack is superior in my opinion. This version looks cheap comparatively.
WHAT in the world (UK peeps) is or are “fisted hands” ?! 😂🤣😂 U mean “fistss??”
the new dark phoenix retro is so disgusting compare to an old dark phoenix figure from 5 years ago, Damn! hasbro realy down!
the paint job on the new one is very disappointing
Toy r us version is better tha this new one
I do like the old colours more, but this new body better 👌🏻
Yeahhh nah, this isn't a good release. Still Pheonixless. Dropped the ball again, hasbro. The reuse on that headsculpt was lame. The paint apps are trash.
The new one looks cheap and plastic-y next to the original. That said, that Black Widow head swap really works well.
I wish I liked you Dan but you’re to loud for me
No problem Sabian I understand, thanks for checking out the video all the same 🙏🏻
Yey 🫶🫶🫶 excited to get mine.
