I never would have guessed that Dark Phoenix is actually represented more than classic Phoenix, but I suppose between repaints and dedicated versions of the character it does make sense. That X3 version is BRUTAL, more like they were going for a Kathy Griffin likeness instead of Famke Janssen and massively whiffed all around. And while Celine Dion from the Juggernaut wave was an upgrade, it's still not a very faithful look. That brings us to Nicole, which yeah now I can see, but wouldn't have landed on her without it being pointed out. To me, that's just the pitch-perfect Cockrum Phoenix face and hair. And wouldn't you know, a brand new deluxe figure just announced! The Black Widow body promises to be a huge improvement, but I'm still not wild about either of the two heads sculpts. Crazy to think that hasn't been improved since the Toy Biz days. I'm not mad about it, but at the same time... feels like we're not ever getting Rachel at this point. 😕 Love the 5-inch Phoenix story. I think I first encountered that figure/wave, alongside the X-Force assortment with Exodus(!), in a Hills department store circa fall of 1994. I was FREAKING OUT. It always made for a nice surprise when parents "indulged" us every now and then. It was such a big deal at the time, but any time I bring up a memory like that now, both my parents are like, "Oh we only acted like it was some huge treat. Those things were cheap as shit and we were just grateful you weren't begging for something actually expensive." 😂

The Two Pack Legends Dark Phoenix definitely has the better colours, but the sash bothers me a lot. The Retro Card definitely is too bright, but the new sash is a big improvement, just printing the little emblem next to the knot just not how it should be. The Phoenix emblem on her chest is also a little funky on it too, I don’t like how the wings angle downwards, because that’s definitely not accurate. Two Pack is a better red and gold, but the Retro has a much better sash and a much better emblem. I think outside of lacking the extra heads they’re about equal. I may be in the minority but I replaced my two pack with the Retro in my collection. The bright colours bother me less then the sash and emblem looking wrong.
