This is just bizarre, but marvel has decided to make a figure of the Jean Grey from Here Comes Tomorrow, pic below. It will be released later this year. Thought you guys might like to riff on it.

Love the hair, though I don't remember it being quite so "Bride of Frankenstein" on the page...

I could see the pic by clicking to view the image. Then when I came back here, it loaded in the page.

And it is pretty damn wanky.

all good.

does anyone remember when action figures were for PLAYING with? These uber-sculpted things suck. they can't even sit in the millenium falcon. They shouldn't be calling these things "toys". nobody's making secret fortresses out of shoeboxes and putting Forever Tomorrow Titty-Phoenix inside to play with their old transformers. when is DC Direct going to get their shit together and release some fucking VEHICLES? I wanna push them over the carpet murmuring "vroom vroom"

now, MULTI-ARTICULATED GIANT SPIDER-MAN, THAT's a toy!

"You took it out of it's box!"
"But that means... It's no longer a collectable!"

But no Beak? No Angel? Cassie Nova (and Martha)? Xorn (with removable mask, to show Magneto-head)? Fantomex (designed to fit inside a fold-out-able EVA and with a removable head/mask to show, er, a dead-in-the-future U-Man or Charles Xavier, depending on preference)? No Beak?
Yes, he's important enough to ask twice! With different shirts on the alternates and heck, maybe a couple not of the original (and, far as I'm concerned, the best) style. Punk rock chickenboy can stand a few arm/wing adjustments and a skull mutation. Worked for Hank... and Betsy Braddock, if you want to throw in a spine mutation.
I wanna have a bat and chain fight with Xorn and Beak figures, dammit! Mags can be shown the error of his ways with the help of titanium head-taps, and the two can go get smashed at the Hellfire Club while Fantomex winks at them. Then Beast and Emma show up and... Why am I denied!?!
Is this the first actual toy to come out of Morrison's New X-Men? Short of just squinting at a certain old G.I. Joe figure, I mean.

I just want to live in a world in which Marvel would sell a No-Girl action figure ...
