Is sideshow confused between Phoenix and Dark Phoenix? Between Jean PF?s exclusive and this maquette Sideshow seems to have no clue about the Phoenix beyond knowing what the costume looks like and Marvel?s just letting them do whatever. Lol.
Yea I get the feeling that the art director for 90s Jean Grey really doesn't get the character.

Does Sideshow know there are other characters besides Wolverine, Deadpool, and Phoenix?

There are dozens and dozens of amazing characters to choose from, and we need to have most of the announcements taken up by yet another version of something we've seen before.

It's getting obnoxious. We had a Black Canary, Batgirl, and a Huntress. We have new versions of all three. But we can't get a single Nightwing? We have several Wolverines, Deadpools, and Jean Greys--but we can't get an Archangel, Beast, or an Iceman? I would love a Havok, but that's just never going to happen because Sideshow, unlike XM and Iron Studios, ALWAYS plays it safe.

The sad thing is that they would all sell. They are saturating the market with these characters and it'll be diminishing returns each time. Beating a dead horse.

And, also, it should be the RED version of the Phoenix behind a Marvel Girl if they want to go this route. This doesn't even make sense as a diorama.

The past few years of rehashes have beaten any hope out of me. Isn?t Jim Lee JG still available for preorder? Who asked for this?

The hair flowing up looks a bit silly on Phoenix, but Jean looks really good. An interesting transformation dio.

Same, the XM Hulk Transformation piece is the first thing that came to mind. If I were more into X-Men, I'd rather have this Phoenix as a separate piece as she looks pretty good (although her legs appear to be MIA )

Jean looks pretty great. With DP I hate when they do hair up like that, so symmetrically. Too Trolls, for me. I've seen a couple customs like that too.

Sideshow could use getting David Igo back onboard.
