The effect i wanted the most was that telekinesis thing on her forehead 😂. You know what i mean
@Emeraldnite-if7vo2 жыл бұрын
The hand effects never made sense to me--she's a telekinetic, meaning the power is in her mind, not her hands. I think an aura effect she would be attached to would be better, to match her look on the X-Men #1 cover. Or some kinda halo effect to go on her head (I think the straight lines you mention are the blue ones from the cartoon specifically, while in the comics her powers were depicted more pink and bubbly). In the end I'm happy with the ML Jean (for now).

In the comics her telekinetic powers do come from the hands (probably cause it looks cool) i.pinimg.com/originals/a9/2b/50/a92b504b77f053c4a1cff1ad41ee7b31.jpg
@daniel79tj2 жыл бұрын
they also use different colors pink (hands), yellow/orange aura/mind probably to separete the telepathy powers from the telekinetik ones, I think pink/hand ones is when she channels her telekinetik powers as a straight blast.

I personally don’t like the look of the ML Jean Grey (both the love triangle and VHS). The face is the most appealing feature about the Mafex version. The paint application is crisp, clean, and intricately detailed. The sharp eyes remind me of how she’s drawn in the Jim Lee X-Men comics. As for the bubble effects, her telekinetic abilities are actually portrayed as pink bubble effects. They look like the effects on the cover of X-Men #105 and similar scenes in the Jim Lee comics. Her powers have always been hard to translate in figure form so I think they did the best they could. She also technically has a thigh swivel. It’s located within the upper part of the leg where is connects. I don’t mind cut thigh swivels but I do admit the break the sculpt. Overall I’m thoroughly impressed with this figure and I consider it to be the definitive Jean Grey figure of this design.

The Marvel Legends Love Triangle Jean does some things very well (the shoulder pads for example), but I definitely prefer the Mafex version. It’s just a cleaner and more consistent figure in general, and I do like the portraits she comes with.

Storm is 5’11”, Rogue is 5’8”, Jubilee is 5’5” and Jean is 5’6”. The ML to Mafex scale is decent between the four. Having Mafex in a slightly smaller scale actually works if you pick the right characters- although Psylocke is 5’11” and having her dinky definitely needs to be posed away. The re-use of female body molds in particular prevents proper scaling like actual humans. The 90s “Big Texas Hair” (that is a thing still here!) does help a bit.

Great figure comparison and review Dave 👏. I only have the VHS TAS Jean Grey, the Toybiz Version and this Mafex one, and to be 100% honest the Toybiz version is the one on display in my collection. I heard that the love-triangle 3-pack version is the best, but I'm not going to pay scalper prices for it, so alas Toybiz version will continue to reign supreme for me 😁👍

Great review. I agree about the hair. But I feel Mafex is going for 90’s comics style. In the comics she changes from yellow to the beige orange color. But she’s never bright yellow. Also she never made telekinetic constructs. Her telekinetic attacks and shield were always pink bubbly effects and I loved it. But the figure effects are super underwhelming.

Hey, Dave. Big fan of your work and thanks for another great review. I honestly, have never bought a MAFEX figure. I have purchased some imports but I only did so because I was attached to the property and would not have been able to get a figure in another form. I guess you can just say that I'm cheap. I like to have a diverse collection so I always want more characters. I splurged and purchased a MEZCO Commander Rogers because Captain America 🇺🇸 is my guy. Honestly, I could have bought a McFarlane figure because they articulated about the same. If Hasbro had an anime line of figures, I probably wouldn't buy any of the imports either honestly. I love your channel but that Jean figure doesn't look much better than the Hasbro in my opinion and I wouldn't want to pay that much for something that I just feel is mediocre.

This is no doubt a good figure, the issue stems from the fact that this is the only Jean Grey that has the most figures made and it's arguably her worst look. I don't understand why people like this look. For me her best looks are Classic, Marvel Girl, Green Phoenix/ Dark Phoenix.
