'Jean Grey' Is "Dark Phoenix"



From Sideshow Collectibles, take a close look @ the new "X-Men", "Dark Phoenix Premium Format Figure" statue, adapting Marvel Comics' the "Dark Phoenix Saga", soon to become a major motion picture: 


"...no one can control the power of the 'Phoenix'! Overcome by her own vast potential and corrupted beyond recognition, 'Jean Grey' transforms into one of the all-time most powerful threats – the 'Dark Phoenix'!

"Clad in her new magnificent red and gold costume and charged by pure cosmic energy, her hair floats gracefully upward to frame her face in a moment of both calm and fury. Consumed by a cataclysmic appetite for destruction, the Dark Phoenix sets her sights on a new galaxy to devour..."


Statue design artists include Ian MacDonald, Kris Anka, Keith Kopinski and Jean-Paul Mavinga, with sculpting by Joe Jung and Will Harbottle, hand-painted by Kat Sapene.


"...in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", returning from a mission in space, 'Jean Grey' is exposed to the deadly radiation of a solar flare and briefly attains her 'ultimate potential' as a telepath and telekinetic.


"Jean becomes a being of pure thought, and then reforms herself upon return to Earth with the new costume, identity and power of 'Phoenix'..."
