Phoenix

I’m quite glad we have a 300 pt scale Phoenix for the X-Men now. The Giant Size #1-Rogue era is my favorite time period of the X-Men comics, where they really were finding their footing. It was a period of globetrotting adventures mixed with a discovery of the X-Men as minority metaphor. Good comics.

I made this mod originally back during the Sinister/Supernova time period, and put her on a Coming of Galactus Firestorm dial for a while. Phoenix is the third figure I’ve done based on Jewel from Sinister. It’s such a wonderful base for female characters. Jean’s pretty much just that figure reposed, with a new arm. The hair is pretty much an original sculpt. The splash of water is from a Horrorclix “Brine Witch” (totally different than the Brine That). The sash is cut from some cape in Sinister. Maybe Valkyrie?

I’d love to do more figures with metallic paint. It comes out looking so nice. Just aren’t very many X-Men in specifically GOLD costumes.
