Thank-you for a great review! Mafex knocked this Jean Grey/Phoenix figure out of the park. There's so much about the figure that makes it stunning. The paint job, color scheme, head sculpts, facial features, healthy and respectful woman's body form, and basic details. The figure alone is perfection. The upcoming ML version is only going to be fun for the Phoenix Bird accessory. The ML Jean Grey looks odd because of the color scheme, especially the facial features and paint job(she looks like the Jean Grey from the X-Men 3 movie, not good at all), and her body form looks sickly/overly sexualized. Basically cheap compared to Mafex. The awesome part of ML is the Phoenix Bird accessory, worth buying for that piece alone. It's been reviewed to be a sturdy and well-made accessory, plus one reviewer(Xmanny87, Battle of the Phoenix Force!, assembly shown at 17:55) showed how to assemble the Phoenix bird so it's not so intimidating or at all frustrating
You’re welcome!!!! Thank you!!!! Agreed, they executed in every aspect with this one. Exactly, I’m mostly only interested in the ML Phoenix piece. The figure I’ll take since it is Jean, but by looking at pictures, I can already see some places where it can be better (it may surprise me in hand though). Oh, that’s great that someone did Hasbro’s job for them lol. They should’ve thrown in instructions lol. Hopefully it is all better than anticipated in hand since I have to spend money on it, ugh. 🙏🍻🫡🤙
Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate it! Yeah, I can see why you think Hush Catwoman is the best. She’s nice but what really holds her back for me is that she didn’t come with an unmasked head. She’s good tho, probably top 3/4 for me. 🙏🫡🍻🤙
@@sacrificedplastic absolutely agree with you, she should have included an unmasked head. Same way this figure should have come with at least one or two fire effects rather than a different belt hahah
Hey @ottabee, it does, it is a little loose but you can make it work. I posted some rough photos for you on my TH-cam Post so that you can get a rough sense of what it looks like. Let me know if you need more photos. 🫡👊🤙
@@sacrificedplastic Awesome!, thank-you for responding and for the great pics. I'd also appreciate more pics to get a feel about the overall look. I'm not sure if I want to get the large Phoenix Firebird or keep it to the small one.
Oh what? Have not been paying attention. What’s going on with her? The figure doesn’t look impressive, I think I’m looking more forward to the Phoenix piece.
Yeah but they don’t really care. They’re too busy right now putting all their effort into trying to catch up and prove that they can do better than ToyBiz all these years later.

Great figure.
Absolutely. One of MAFEX’s best. 🫡🤙
she looks amazing! I wouldn't call her the best female Mafex (that's Hush Catwoman) but still she is definitely up there, great review!

Exactly. They should’ve thrown in the fire effects or a bird, something other than the additional belt 😂😅😐
🍻🤙
Good review. I wished the hair would be swappable with the different head
Thank you!!!🙏 🙏🙏 I appreciate it!
I did not think of that. That’s a really good suggestion! It would be cool to swap all six pieces. 👊🍻🤙
Do you know if the Marvel Legends small Phonex Firebird accessory would also fit on the wrist of the MAFEX Phoenix figure?

Boy, contrast this to the frustration people are having with the Marvel Legends Phoenix since it started showing up...
Oh what? Have not been paying attention. What’s going on with her? The figure doesn’t look impressive, I think I’m looking more forward to the Phoenix piece.
@@sacrificedplastic People have been tearing their hair out trying to put that effect piece together lol
They don't even include instructions
Great. Not surprised. I have two on preorder mostly for the bird. They could post some instructions online but I’m sure they won’t.
@@sacrificedplastic Perfect thing to use their Hasbro Pulse TH-cam channel for if they cared!
Yeah but they don’t really care. They’re too busy right now putting all their effort into trying to catch up and prove that they can do better than ToyBiz all these years later.
