Thank-you for a great review, well done! I agree that this Mafex Jean Grey/Phoenix looks amazing for so many reasons. I also love the character's story and I'm glad she's been given her own comic book too. The head with the white eyes is also my favorite look. The figure has great details, awesome costume, a very respectful comic book character and healthy woman's body form, great all over color scheme, and great articulation. I'm very impressed, just as much as I am with the recent Jean Grey X-Men 97' figure from the cartoon. GREAT idea to order those flame effects that you showcased with this Phoenix figure, they look amazing! I've seen the Marvel Legends Phoenix and the only fun part of the whole release will be the Phoenix Force/Bird accessory. The Phoenix bird is well made and is very detailed. The figure though looks really cheap to me. The body form looks overly sexualized, color scheme looks off, the face paints look creepy and has too much make-up(which adds to the creepiness of the oversexualized body). One head looks like the demonic Phoenix from the X-Men 3 film. ML doesn't even compare to the grandeur of the Mafex Phoenix/Jean Grey.
I don't have that figure but in looking at pics online I would say so. Looks like the bird wraps around her wrist? I know the Mafex wrists are petite so I think it would, but that's just an educated guess!
@@TheCollectorCave Thank-you for the response, I've been told the small firebird fits a bit loose since the MAFEX figure is slightly smaller than the Marvel Legends figures.

Thanks for watching! Yeah I love the figure. I'm looking forward to getting the Phoenix bird from the ML version and using that with the Mafex figure.
Do you know if the Marvel Legends small Phoenix Firebird would also fit on the wrist of the MAFEX Phoenix figure?

Maybe some tacky putty would do the trick!
@@TheCollectorCave Great idea, thank-you!
