Correction: The neck joint is a dumbell joint, not a ball with a hinge. Lower torso and calves are new on the figure also. Thanks for the heads up XManny87.
If I were to get this cool figure, I would definitely display her with that beautiful whited out Jean Grey head sculpt with the Phoenix 🐦🔥 base in my Chris Claremont X-MEN display but she would be in the background letting you know that she does have the power of the "Phoenix Force" Fantastic review on her Shartimus.
the old headsculpts look way better, the realistic take on the unrealistic body feature is a weird weird weird look and this one looks particularly bad
assbro fans do not know that the assbro's ceo is literally named Cocks wanna know how i call them? Cocks lovers be careful next time you blatantly defend assbro in a nonsensical way.
I hate to say it, but Hasbro dropped the ball on her. I just don't see Jean in that head at all. I'm going to get this set for the Phoenix accessory, but I've decided to go with the Mafex version for my Phoenix. I also don't like how they didn't sculpt the glove or boots at the tips. The green is also off.
This set should have been $34 - $39 at most. I can't see paying an extra $25 just for a base. Especially when they used to come free with the old ToyBiz Marvel Legends. Yes, I know this one is better, but not $25 better. There's no way it should cost as much as a fully articulated action figure. No, I think that the Juggernaut wave Phoenix with the upgraded head from the Cyclops / Dark Phoenix 2-pack still works just fine for me, thank you.
the only gripe i have with the figure is the shade of green they went with for her costume, otherwise this seems like a great addition to my collection.
I plan on displaying the retro card dark phoenix with this stand and the new glowing eyes head with my villains and the new phoenix figure with the other head on my x-men shelf.
This comment section is tripping. The Jean headsculpt matches the art on the box which is the way Jean has been drawn more recently. Also both headsculpts look better in person. Plastic feels premium compared to other ML
warbird’s lower legs are actually moonstone just made pinless. they did a similar thing with x-men 97 rogue just hard to tell with all the extra sculpting they added!
You’re not wrong about the hair. It’s not terrible, or even meh. It’s actually very well-sculpted. It could be a little more volume, but it is very minor comparatively. What I really hope is that they start a trend of making bases because the Phoenix is done so, so well. Just imagine Storm or Thor on thunderclouds like Toy Biz did for Storm back in the day. Not all the time. Just special figures.
14:34 the warbird calves are definitely different. It's more muscular and define. Look at how high and sticking out the calves are how much lower and flat the phoenix calves are. But do agree, idk why they would use warbird legs due to same boot cut.
The Phoenix shouldn’t have defined feathers. It should look like a living cosmic flame. The Select version is a more accurate version of how the Phoenix is represented in the comics.
A massive Phoenix effect that you could encapsulate the Jean grey figure in would be super cool. I feel like the warbird may have been better on this buck 🤔
The new opening when you're in the dork room is actually pretty cool!!👍👍 p.s. Shartimus love you and ya videos man keep it going man you're doing Great!
@@tyestancil2783 So you trying to say you like that Phoenix head-sculpt?, There were also a few characters over the years that could’ve been better sculpted
So sick if hearing "the headsculpt ruins it for me" the headsculpts are fine just like pretty much everything released in past 2 years. In the last 2 years weve gotten like 50 definitive figs from hasbro, they sell out but people still have to find something to bitch about and lately its always the headsculpt.
A thing I don't like about marvel legends is why is the hair on most head sculpts waving off to the side yes sure if you want to get a cool pose but I think they should include a head sculpt with the hair in its normal position and a head with the hair waving but maybe I'm just a bitch complaining but other then that I think Hasbro is doing really well recently
The green color is way off and doesn’t match the color of the figure on the back of the box. And her normal head sculpt looks like Courtney Cox from Scream 3
I went back and pulled up the old Uncanny comics to do a comparison and outside of the effects parts this entire figure is wrong. The face sculpts are 1) ugly and 2) more reminiscence of when she becomes Dark Phoenix. The green is wrong. And the sleeves/legs are ugly bare metallic plastic and the Phoenix symbol is painted Gold. In the comics it's clear the leggings and gloves are gold but the actual chest symbol is yellow. Outside of the effect parts and some wash in the hair sculpt the Mafex is hands down more accurate.
I don't like the smile head, very meh and out of character, almost like she is MJ, even the hair length is wrong. They should just use one head for this figure, that alt head increase the price in a nonsense way.
Your demo putting the flames together looks like it was done by someone suffering from Parkinson's. Seriously? It's like watching a video on a rollercoaster ride. Not helpful at all. What were you thinking?

Nope for me

A Psylocke in this sculpt, MAMA MIA..!!

@@JOIG_NACHO The Mafex?
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork yes the mafex is better and by a lot too
@@NECROMAGICIAN666 Nicce. I just ordered her.
Mafex is over priced with little accessories.

We need a new updated version of the dark Phoenix 2-pack Cyclops!!
the only gripe i have with the figure is the shade of green they went with for her costume, otherwise this seems like a great addition to my collection.
The head sculpt of the previous Phoenix I think looks so much better .. the one that came with the flaming Phoenix accesory
Celine Dion is INSANE!😭 7:02
I swear the packaging for these Legends figures have been more and more fancier.
I plan on displaying the retro card dark phoenix with this stand and the new glowing eyes head with my villains and the new phoenix figure with the other head on my x-men shelf.
I just can't get with either of the faces on this new version. Everything else is great though
Looks look I can retire my old Phoenix figure.
Awesome review, you know Hasbro will do a dark Phoenix(maybe a 2pack with Cyclops on the Vulcan body)
At Target for $35, on sale for $25.
Everything looks good except the headsculpts
Just got mine in the mail. Favorite figure I’ve gotten this year
This comment section is tripping. The Jean headsculpt matches the art on the box which is the way Jean has been drawn more recently. Also both headsculpts look better in person. Plastic feels premium compared to other ML
Celine Dion will always be my Phoenix.
I bought this Jean grey figure and it’s phenomenal

I do want this. I like it a lot. 50 dollars is almost reasonable price but I honestly would love to hold off for a bit cheaper price. 35-40 bucks.
I just got this Phoenix.
Just got mine today and man amazing figure and I finally got my hands on a haslab sentinel 😅 what a good weekend
Yeahhhhhhhh!
The pose on the thumbnail is sick 🔥 keep it up
I can't wait i pre ordered her on Amazon mine is coming on October 3rd
I’ve been trying to get that
Oh damn I got mine from target for only $35.
That Mezco doctor doom figure is awesome you gotta get the mezco gwen Stacy figure you gotta review it it’s Awesome
A massive Phoenix effect that you could encapsulate the Jean grey figure in would be super cool. I feel like the warbird may have been better on this buck 🤔
Need have the hair flowing away from the neck to allow more looking up though Phoenix only have a ball joint neck doesn't help.
Prime u can heat up on high that base insert her foot on your other fig then repeat to take it out. It won’t harm anything bro
New Drinking Game. Take a drink whenever Shart talks about his hatred for 'Marbling'😏
Don’t blame him.. marbling is an eye sore…
Awesome toys
Yeah, I am glad I stuck with my MAFEX Phoenix, the head-sculpts just aren’t doing it for me.
Do the target black widow heads fit on her? I was thinking of using the long haired version for a neutral jean head
Yes, they do. Long haired one looks great!
Seems to be the best female ML ever alongside Spiral
Looks to me like the toy biz and to legends like a DBZ Saiyan leveling from super 1 to 3
Is this an early review or do some places already have her?
Will you review the Lady Mandarin 2 pack soon?
The new opening when you're in the dork room is actually pretty cool!!👍👍
p.s. Shartimus love you and ya videos man keep it going man you're doing Great!
How'd u get it that fast? lol didn't it just reveal at SDCC????
I have it too
That’s a DIESEL box!
My only issue with this release is the color palette, and the face sculpts, they aged her a lot, Jean is in her early 20s. Everything else is perfect.
I want this I mainly collect McFarlane as You know but this is tuff I must have it
Waiting for $24.99 sale
yeah, headsculpts are not good IMO. the old hasbro you showed are way better. The base is super cool.
I think you did a very accurate review. 🔥 Awesome vid 🔥 aka foreverboy
Would you buy the Phoenix by itself for 25 bucks? I personally wouldn't. I wish the two pack came in at 40 at most.
Thankfully BBTSA accidentally price her at $35.
Where is he gonna find room for this?
Missed out on this one 😭
Hasbro need to get with the program as far as the headsculpts go
What program lol they make the best headsculpts outside of hot toys. These two are meh compared to other fairings
@@tyestancil2783
So you trying to say you like that Phoenix head-sculpt?, There were also a few characters over the years that could’ve been better sculpted
@jarmandoromero7084 they're meh, white out is the best, the other is tooo happy. But they've been one fire with the sculpts for a minute.
Put the head from the plackwidow figure to the figure in the video

The headsculpts don’t look like Jean though 😂.. maybe the actress from the Fox XMen films.. but definitely not comic version.

Shart, suppose Dark Phoenix invited you back to her apartment. Would you do her?
No way Jean has a bigger rack then Carol 🤦🏾♂️
No wonder why Logan and Slim are fond of her😂
Jean needs a bigger rack because of the many more outfits she has than Carol.
What the sigma💀💀💀

Too expensive....
Too poor
It’s overpriced. Should of been as big as the Marvel Select one to justify the price.. or charge less.. 40 bucks max.
This 2 pack (phoenix and Jean phoenix)($25+$25) is awesome, hope mines come in sooner.
