A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! In 1992 the Fox Network revolutionized superhero comics adaptations with the groundbreaking animated series X-Men. Featuring complex storylines pulled right from the pages of Marvel Comics as well as cool characters and high-quality art, the cartoon gained instant acclaim and has continued to be popular to this day. The highly collectible 1/10 scale figures of the X-Men ’92 series are rendered in the bold, dynamic style of the cartoon, their simplistic sculpting and vivid colors making them look as if they’ve jumped straight out of an animation cel. The latest addition to the line is the culmination of Jean Grey in her cosmic energy-imbued PHOENIX form!
Already a strong telepathic mutant, Jean Grey became the powerful Phoenix when a mysterious entity known as the Phoenix Force is awoken in her during the “Phoenix Saga” and “Dark Phoenix Saga” in season three of the animated series. The saga features one of the most memorable and emotional conclusions in the series, and this ARTFX+ statue’s sheer size and detail reflect the Phoenix’s importance in the storyline. The transformed mutant hovers in mid-air, borne aloft by the power of the Phoenix Force as it erupts in flame behind her. She wears the innocent and heroic version of the Phoenix costume with its green bodysuit with firebird logo on the chest and gold boots, gloves, and waist sash. And while the flame effect on the statue shines with translucent yellow, orange, and red, Phoenix’s hair is a deep scarlet framing the serious expression on the heroine’s face. Sculpted by Keita Misonou, Phoenix is nearly 9 ½ inches tall (1/10 scale) and towers over many of the other cartoon-inspired X-Men figures. Catch her before she goes full Dark Phoenix!
