Yup, still not worth $50

No. No even close under any circumstance.

I would have liked to see a side with a previous figure. I get the feeling this one is going to fall under the same narrow shoulders and teeny tiny head sculpt formula the Warbird fell into. Or even worse she could be bigger than Warbird. Though I've heard it is no the exact same body model.

If Jean's the same size as Warbird I'll be even more irritated since Jean's legs are only painted where Warbird is sculpted at the thighs.

Why did the MSRP go up?  This was just released.

Yeah, it didn't sell out either. I thought that was weird too.

As much as I like this figure, I have ultimately at this point said pass, at 80 dollars Canadian this is not worth it to me, I cancelled my pre-order which was to ship tomorrow, I would like this Phoenix update, but I have zero interest in the phoenix force stand and to try and pull this off as a 2 pack is just sad, I already have a green phoenix and a red one, I don;t need this for the price, it's awful to sell this at the price point it is, if this goes on sale maybe, but currently I'm out on this after much contemplation I will not reward a toy company for being so greedy, 80 dollars....just stop. 

sorry but this is the biggest offender yet in terms of price for Legends, I see no reason why this is as expensive as it is, I'm speaking with my money on this one, and you don't get it.

It's just a weird Amazon price adjustment. It happens at Walmart too.  Just wait and it will readjust.  Or order from Pulse or BBTS.

"... Plus her normal face is really not all that appealing. At least in these photos..."

I passed on this but just looked at a friend's buy. I wouldn't say the normal face isn't appealing, but I will say it just doesn't look like Jean. And I know anyone could say "hey Cockrum drew her face one way, Byrne did it this way, Neal Adams did this, Arthur Adams did that...." so forth. I get it. But this face looks like a more mature woman; almost want to say "edgy", if that makes sense. Actually she looks like the actress Maitland Ward (who also is a redhead, though I'm sure that was just a coincidence by the team...) not unattractive, but not a powered down Jean.

Just like when they did the first Phoenix from the Juggernaut wave (horrid figure), the face just didn't evoke "Jean Grey". The faces used for the Dark Phoenix matched what you'd expect her to look like, but this isn't it. Its not a bad face by any means, just not what I would expect for Jean.
