Premium Format Article: Re: Jean Grey - Jim Lee Era

[sarakawa]

I kinda look at this and then I look at the DC pieces and I'm like, where's the love? Though I don't mind the faces, they are far from my ideal. The hair even looks a bit odd like it's sitting too high on her head or something. I would love a Jean Grey in my X-men lineup but not when it looks like this. Still, to each their own and I'm happy for those of you who feel she is the Jean you have been waiting so long to get!

Good advice. I love Jean and I can afford it, but for me it's always that nagging saying, "Is it as good as you expect?"

I think its cause the DC license is pretty new and i think someone mentioned that the design for this was over 4 years old. Its unfortunate that they never revisited it before releasing it. Otherwise we would've had something similar to the quality of WW or CW, Machiko or Red Sonja. That's what we deserved at least. Really sucks but it is what it is

This is the gospel. Jean Grey is one of my favorite comic characters and I still passed on this. I felt 'guilty' for passing at first because I have wanted a Jean Grey for so long, but now that have a few weeks have passed I am 100% happy for not preordering; extra $$$ to spend on customizing the Machiko premium format.

I also passed on this and kind of dropped the Xmen line. I hopped on the DC line. It seem SS is focusing much more on DC

What are you going to do custom to it?

Well I checked the archives (I haven't been collecting long) and she looks great in this. I mean price is huge (again fairly new here), so I mean I actually feel more committed in buying her. I also do agree maybe it could be better, but I think it's at its highest potential yet. I just hope for a Phoenix to come out, or hell a better Black Queen.

 

[savageHULK]

I honestly think it looks great! If I collected X-Men, I would be all over it. I think, besides wonderwoman, she has the best sculpted female body. But the costume is what makes it look ehhh. But that's how it looked. I think it's awesome.

I love the colors to be honest. The costume seems simple, but you can't get much more complex with a yellow/blue spandex. I just hope they do another Rogue to go with this!

Yeah. I really like the padding on the suit too. I wonder what is cloth on her?

I assumed it was the gloves. Only thing that is different to the pads and the uniform.

Yeah. The only thing I really don't like about this is the base.... I hope they don't start making fps like that. I'd cry. Haha. I love the simple bases like on most other PF's.

Id agree except I've had bad luck with bases congested with detail, and have been damaged. I like how its pretty simple and not too over-extravagant

After seeing Wonder Woman, and see Jean... WW gets my money

They both took my money....but well worth it!

Same here

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I ordered both

 

[filip629]

Just WW for me. I'm a fan of the Byrne era X-MEN. If they do a great looking Phoenix PF, I'm all over that.

Still thinking about her or is it Jean Grey Telepathically willing it to be

I was sad when I realized it isn't coming until October. But then I realized at work today; it's June

Only 4.5 months more to go!
