I'll be mildly surprised and happy if this deluxe Phoenix is only $35. I could see it going potentially going even as high as Odin.

I won't make a determination until I have it in hand, but right now it's likely my favorite Legends figure so far this year, and that's saying something because  I usually hate remakes. My other favorites so far are X-Men '97 Goblin Queen, Destiny and Hellstrom. Of course, of those, Madelyne is the only one I have in hand at the moment.

I have a feeling it will be similar to the Hawkeye/Ghost Rider set and they will considered this a 2-pack.

I doubt it, this is clearly the same as the Defender Strange. Standard figure with an accessory to make it a Deluxe

Man, I wasn't super interested in this. But I might have to get it for that base. (Its a really nice figure too) As much as I dont like the mold for Danvers, Jean was never supposed to be big and buff. If they ever make Rachael it'll be needed, and super expensive on the secondary. Maybe she'll come with it too, but it's not a gamble I'd bet too much on.

Nope nope nope. Not gon do it. To be fair it is a good looking figure. But as I've said before this super articulated model is a little excessive for a character like Jean who is not known for her athleticism and agility or combat skills. And it looks like it's going to be another case of a much smaller body stuck somewhere between teen and adulthood with a teeny tiny head sculpt. Plus her normal face is really not all that appealing. At least in these photos. I like my Retro Card Jean. That figure is about right where it needs to be. To me when they added the double jointed elbows and got rid of the rubber legs that was the pinnacle of balance between aesthetics and functionality for female figures while still managing to look feminine. I'll leave this one to the ones who need it. Hasbro's saved me so much money over the last few months it's crazy.

I just can't decide if I want this or not, it looks lovely, but really do I need a new Green Phoenix? I have the old one with a red head Stepford Cuckoo head on it and it looks pretty decent to me, of course this figure is miles better then the old one, and comes with some fancy stuff, but like do I actually buy this? it's a question I keep asking myself, when is enough enough?

knowing me though I'm sure I'm just gonna get this figure, I can't kid myself, I wanna say No more often but I guess it's a problem 🙄🤦‍♀️

I have been pretty lucky in my predictions of what will be redone, and I have been able to sell my figures for a decent profit and just wait until the new one is released - did this with both Phoenix and Dark Phoenix, and a few others that I am still waiting on their replacements (Captain Marvel, Hela, and Magik). I'm betting on Elektra and Psylocke getting the remake treatment soon too!

I find one moment confusing here, Phoenix and Warbird/Ms. Marvel seem to share same torso and arms but for some reason not legs when they have exactly same style thigh high boots, sculpted detail is always nice unless they thought that articulation cut would stand out more on the gold than on the green but still weird not reusing mold parts they invested into. Especially when this body size is for sure way more appropriate for 5'6" Jean than 5'11" Carol
