Description
The six-armed teleporter, Spiral, was one of the rarest and most expensive-to-acquire Toybiz Marvel Legends figures that Hasbro had yet to update themselves, so I am delighted to see her arriving as a readily obtainable Retro release in just a few months. The point of a phoenix, dark or otherwise, is that it rises from the flames. But these are the flames in which this franchise has finally gone down. Unfortunately, Jean slowly finds herself becoming overwhelmed by this power and the influence of the emotion-starved Phoenix. Making matters worse is the interference of the Hellfire Club, an elite organization of mutant power players determined to use the Phoenix's power for their own ends. These comic book villains wind up inadvertently unleashing Jean's full power and sparking her transformation from Phoenix to Dark Phoenix. Now completely out of control, the Dark Phoenix's first act is to devour the D'Bari star system and wipe out billions of lives in an instant. Spiral gets some of the most extravagant treatment we’ve seen in the non-deluxe Retro series, as she’ll feature pin-less joints on all of her arms and legs, as well as including two alternate hands, an axe and five swords as accessories.
This time, Jamie Madrox is in his early green costume that I remember from the all-time classic Fallen Angels limited series and other vintage comic books. The now-familiar trench coat isn’t part of this look, so this Madrox will be a bit more poseable.Dark Phoenix having fists to engage in brawls felt awkward to me, so I’m pleased to get the interchangeable splayed hands. The fists make little sense to me unless Jean’s going to fly around Superman-style for some reason. Look for other Hasbro Marvel Legends Series Retro 375 Collection figures (each sold separately) with Marvel comic-inspired characters, including Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, Marvel’s Falcon, and Venom. (Additional figures each sold separately. Subject to availability.) Almost unquestionably the biggest hit and most in-demand of the wave is Mojo’s right-hand swordswoman, Spiral! INSPIRED BY MARVEL COMICS: This Marvel Legends Classic Dark Phoenix figure features deco inspired by her iconic appearances from Marvel Comics! Dark Phoenix's Powers and AbilitiesThe Phoenix Force possesses nearly limitless power and is capable of absorbing even more energy from its surroundings. It can even drain the life force of beings who don't exist yet, killing them before they have a chance to live. With this power at its disposal, the Phoenix is capable of scorching planets and even entire solar systems as it travels the galaxy. Nor is it a mindless force of destruction. The Phoenix Force has an advanced intelligence and a cosmic awareness that allows it to observe events across the Marvel Universe.

With over 80 years of entertainment history, Marvel has become a cornerstone of fan collections around the world. With the Marvel Legends Series, fan favorite Marvel Comic Universe and Marvel Cinematic Universe characters are designed with premium detail and articulation for posing and display in collections. From figures to vehicles to premium roleplay items, the Marvel Legends Series offers elite character-inspired product for Marvel fans and collectors. Additional figures each sold separately. Subject to availability. As many collectors had been hoping, you can in fact swap out any of the three interchangeable heads in this set with the X-Men Legends Phoenix figure that was released in Summer 2016 that’s still available. Hallelujah! I know many fans were unsatisfied with the Jean Grey head on that figure, but now we’ll all have several other options!
Cyclops, whose real name is Scott Summers, is another key member of the X-Men. He has the ability to emit powerful energy blasts from his eyes, which he controls using a special visor. The Cyclops action figure in this set is designed with his signature blue and yellow X-Men uniform and includes his iconic ruby-quartz visor. INCH-SCALE COLLECTIBLE MARVEL FIGURE: Dark Phoenix joins Marvel Legends with this premium 6-inch-scale action figure inspired by classic Marvel Comics! The 90s X-Factor Multiple Man figure from the Apocalypse series has gotten more pricey and expensive over the last few years, so Hasbro is finally giving Madrox the Multiple Man the army-builder Spotlight once again! Overwhelmed by the power of the cosmic Phoenix entity, Jean Grey gives in to the being’s destructive tendencies. The little Phoenix effects flame bird is cute in theory, but fails in execution. The fiery translucent plastic on it looks phenomenal, but the attachment spiral is too big and too gummy to hold the bird in place, so it constantly flops upside-down unless it’s affixed way up Jean’s arm. This accessory is a neat idea, but comes out feeling very sloppy.

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. I’m long past the point in my collecting life where I can get excited about any Wolverine action figure, but this is at least a costume we don’t see done frequently. He has an alternate head and hands, though I’m not sure either portrait is particularly great. The set comes with several accessories. For Dark Phoenix, there is an interchangeable head that shows her in her non-Phoenix state, as well as a small Phoenix bird that can be attached to her hand to represent the Phoenix Force. Cyclops comes with an alternate head that features him without his visor, showing the energy beams coming from his eyes. The only character in this wave 100% new to Marvel Legends is Avalanche, who Toybiz only released as part of their X-Men series and never officially in ML.Posing-wise, things are very good, but not flawless. The head articulation is close to non-existent because of Jean’s long hair, and the lower-body articulation is hindered by rubbery plastic that makes her very hard to stand up stably in dynamic poses. The pin-less articulation on Phoenix’s knees and elbows is smooth and pretty and very appealing, though.
