Jean Grey Appreciation III

[blackphoenix]

That's great! I definitely have to read the other books then BTW has anybody read the Chaos Engine?

Yep. I have an old, dog earred copy that collects all three parts of the trilogy. I actually had to buy it twice: the first one got trashed in a really bad rainstorm, so I had to buy another copy. I loved that series, especially Jean's larger part in the final Red Skull book.

Jean is going to receive two figures in that set. One as Dark Phoenix and the other in her Marvel Girl costume.

Speaking of Jean figures, what do you guys think is the best statue or action figure of Jean to get? I don't actually own any, and the ones I've seen(like X3 Jean...*shudders*) look horrible. Any reccomendations? I'm partial to her in her Phoenix costume, but any good figure in any of her various Marvel Girl/Phoenix outfits will do.

Depends on what you're going for. There was a good figure of her (about 3 and a quarter inches) in her Dark Phoenix costume that I have. It's very well done. They're supposed to be making one in her 90's costume as well. As for statues, anything from Bowen designs is going to be excellent. I know he's made a full statue in her Marvel Girl (the miniskirt) costume and a I think a bust for her red/gold X-Factor costume. I'm not sure about any Phoenix statues.

There have been recent sets that come with a comic book and two figures; they're pretty good. Everyone looks hunched over but with all of their new bending parts I think you can make'em stand up more straight. She's Dark Phoenix in that one.

If you like the manga-styled stuff, there are a couple of Kotobukiya statues of Jean, one of the 90s costume and each color of the Phoenix costume. They don't have any moving parts and are pretty overpriced though, but they look nice.

The bodies on those are well done, but the manga-cupie doll faces kinda weird me out

Thanks!! Yes I am a fan of Jean. I would not mind any novel whether it features her or not, as long as she is not just wallpaper ;). I need my fix before teen Jean comes into the scene haha. I do like 90s Cyke and Jean so I'm going to see what amazon has to offer. What is your favorite?

My favorite was the Mutant Empire trilogy. There was another that featured just the original 5, and Xavier, called Shadows Of The Past. It featured the villain who originally crippled Xavier, Lucifer. I think the Chaos Engine trilogy and the trilogy about the legacy virus were very good as well.

So I'd post this on the Emma Frost page, but I'd get called a troll, so I'll ask it here. Do her breast implants turn diamond when she transforms?

the skin turns to diamond but the silicon inside just stays the same

To be completely serious when she was completely shattered leading to Murder at the Mansion every part of her turned to diamond inside and out.

except for her protesis (clearly covered by the "pieces" of her costume) unless Emma has gained a new power that allow her to turn silicon breast implants into diamonds

Does that include the nosejob or would that be different?

Well, that would depend on whether or not synthetic parts were added. If they just cut and moved her own parts around, then yes, it would be different.
