So... In the middle of the night Target decided to put the Marvel Legend Phoenix on sale for less than a normal Marvel Legend... Crazy amazing price for that set...
@@enishiyukishiro6751 They're probably all sold out by now, but it wouldn't hurt to check the Targets around you. They are on sale for $24.49 and there are other deals you can stack on top of that.
Okay I've seen a few reviews pitting these two figures together and what I've noticed is the Marvel Legends actually has more articulation in the elbows if you put them right next to each other and bend their elbows you'll see it I don't know why Mafex has a problem with double jointed elbows, they only seem to go a little bit past 90 degrees which is very poor for a double jointed elbow
I feel Mafex are always twice as good as a ML for three times-ish the price. Which is fine, increases in quality don't necessarily increase in cost in a linear fashion. In this case I think I prefer the ML. The Mafex gold is nicer but then they have the Phoenix on her chest in flat yellow paint, that just annoys me for some reason. the ML gold is less pretty but matches the Phoenix symbol better, and I prefer the darker green. I also think the heads on the ML just have lots more personality.
Mr. Enemy here.. I wear Wrangler Jeans for work because they are cheaper & when I get them dirty & beat up I just toss em out. I wear Levi Jeans because I can actually find my EXACT size & fit. I have a difficult size due to my long legs & thin waist, most sizes seem to be for short fat guys. Guess I have odd Genes ;)
I love the pictures at the end of the video. I have the Mafex Phoenix and I still love her. Legends nice too, but don’t like the colour and also the second head. Reminds me of Medusa.
I'm with you, I absolutely hate the marvel legends female hands, they don't look like anything, I also would like more realistic proportions on the marvel legends sculpts, specially on women, I find they barely look human, they may look like 90s female comic book characters, but I absolutely hate 90s comicbook art 😂
This was frustrating to listen to. Feigning ignorance in 2024 is wild when Google is free and you could heave easily figured out the Mafex is based on Dave Cockrum’s art. also her face is Judgy because that’s Phoenix’s thing…. Like, do you even know who this character is?
You listened? If you did I clearly remember she said she does not know a lot of x-men... Why are you so pressed about such little details 💀 This review is just for comparison if which one probably you should buy? Or which ones are better for you? Nothing serious at all LMAO...

Real funny scene you put together for the thumbnail. Great review and comparison!
Thank you! They're in group therapy. Jean therapy, you might say...

Agreed, the joints are super smooth and fun to move, but Legends gets a better range in that regard
6:38 Surprisingly, Marvel Legends Phoenix has much better ass than Mafex. Usually, Hasbro censors the ass of their female figures.🤣
I might get the Marvel Legends one because of the base but im diggin' the Mafex head more even if it has less expressions. 🤔
It's sculpted so beautifully!
Great review!I have the Legends, but now I want the Mafex figue to put on ther Legends base.
This is The Way
Mafex has 2 headsculpts... the yeling one is atrocious, doesn't count 🤣
Duly noted 😂
Do you have the Mezco human torch stand? I was thinking of trying the human torch’s stand with the phoenix. It lights up it’s very bright .
We don't! But I bet that would look pretty good
The mafex Dark Phoenix is kinda 70’s look a little to me the other looks modern
Now that you mention it, I agree!
I am not sure who I’d pick. I like the gold of Mafex and the big phoenix of Hasbro.
Me too!
Mafex 4 the win!😊
She's a beautiful figure!
Great ending pictures 🎉
Thank you!!
Great video. Here from Miami by way of the Bronx
I appreciate it!
Marvel Legends Phoenix makeup looks like Bozo the clown....🤡
I didn't wanna be quite that harsh...but yeah 😭

Totally agree on the heads, the Mafex falls a little flat as far as expressions go. Even the yelling head looks very static.

I'm the same way with Vera Wang jeans. Thanks, Vera!
@@weekly_allowance
Does Vera make jeans for guys?
Does she account for the.. wang ??
Sorry, my humor can be notorious, being evil and all ;)
Marvel legends no power phoenix seems happy being insomniac
If only the rest of us could be so lucky!
Do yourself a favour and watch honest review of xmen animated series 😂
I'm on it! 🫡
The Marvel legends looks better me
It's a great figure for sure! Love that angry head.

It is pretty Medusa-like, that hair looks like it has a mind of its own

Another person I can share my rage with!
