today we are celebrating the release of x-men Dark Phoenix and so there's no
better time to do a read review of our Dark Phoenix and Cyclops - apart from
toys-r-us I did review these a while ago guys but I watched the review this
morning I was like me I've moved on so much since back then that I feel like
this is a pack that needs a rear view so I've deleted the old video and I'm gonna
do this again because I think I think my skills as a reviewer of come on a long
way since then and I have a lot more things to show you this time around
including the old Jean with the new heads when we've got a love triangle
going on between Wolverine and Cyclops that we didn't have last time so let's
go in today's video and let's celebrate all things x-men and the Dark Phoenix
hey guys Miho supersorrell thank you very much
look what it's Cyclops you on the Phoenix these fingers how awesome these
are toys I really exclusives I got these just as toys arrows went under and I'm
very happy to actually have these in the collection as there seems a super rare
nowadays no one seems to be giving up on them when it's qetema let's keep them
and like I said at the beginning of the video I did review these a long time ago
and their video got about 4,000 views we weren't a bad video or anything like
that it's just that my skills have come along
and I like to think I've come a long way in reviewing since back then it's been a
fair few years and so I wanted to redo the review especially with the Dark
Phoenix right around the corner so I thought it was time to date her back out
and give her another review now as you know from a lot of you guys I love this
head sculpt on this Jean because it just looks so awesome but she also came with
another head sculpt well too until the head sculpt this one which I like to put
on the old Phoenix and of course she's got a basic Jean head as well which is I
believe the same one as like Black Widow and Mary Jane it seems to be very
similar and she also came with a Phoenix accessory that nobody asked for and
nobody likes it's a bit like that one you know the the kitty pryde house it's
like nobody wants it but yeah hello I accessory a little Phoenix I don't ever
remember using that in the kind in the comics or cartoons or anything I don't
ever remember ago you know look at the Phoenix if I'm gonna point our comic
panel or anything like that without all that it'd be great so I'm just place
Jean back down there for now let's take a look at Scott Summers so this is the
iconic Scott Summers the high know and I do like the other Marvel Legends version
people do ask for ridiculous money for him though
but I thought this version because this is the one that was the Gimli it's the
one from the cartoon it was in this particular costume for most of it and
that this is always the the Cyclops that I always had as a kid was into this
costume I like thought that he could also - it took his visor as well he's
one of the only Scots that can actually like he's touching the visor which is
awesome as well he's got slime look guys put the arms down for now because he
does have a clip dragon which is nice and the head doesn't lift up and down on
a ball-joint man he's he looks left and right his arms do lift up as you heard
they do click and there's a rotation there at the top part of the arm there's
also a rotation at the bicep with a double hinge to elbow and the hands are
on a ball-joint so because of all the articulation you can get him to get that
hand quite far back and it almost look it almost took - just when your
undisplaced and tilting to the side you can't even tell it looks like he's ready
to see blast away there is also a little hole in the back because of the mold we
using but we do have the ab crunch we was pretty good and rotation there how
the waist legs do it with down pretty far as well as forwards and backwards
with a hop fight cup double hinged knee on this one and there is a book up and a
rocker and pivot on the feet I like the fact there's a click join the arms don't
feel loose to feel very stiff so I like the fact that when I'm clicking them I'm
very gentle that can go click click click you see I mean and I like I like
the fact that the joints still feel stiff even I've played with this a lot
and mess around with this one a lot and the joints still feel brand-new some
legends as you know I have trouble with because they do go very loose very fast
over there Cyclops whilst he's a little bit loose at the middle and everywhere
else is really nice stiffen up so I like that now let's take a look at Phoenix
Phoenix is a slightly different story she is a little bit loose but the head
is on a ball-joint so again you can make a look down as well as up and left and
right and also again on the same hinge so you can lift that a rotate that their
single hinged elbow as we know marvel level legends never give us double
hinges on a female character and the hands do rotate no no cut at the middle
here for this one but she does have a crunch sequential backwards and forwards
a little bit I need some flight stands back I make a fly and hover I don't have
those just yeah I need to get all this on I keep saying keeping anything if
akin to an Amazon rebel look if anyone can recommend anywhere to grab stuff
like that that'd be awesome let us know in the comments if you would
legs do lift out pretty far as well as forwards and backwards with the top
thigh cut and a double hinge neither I'm a pivot and rocker for the feet now
guys the Phoenix saga and was one of the most popular comics I believe other than
other than age not evil John mm Age of Apocalypse I believe that the Phoenix
saga is one of those classic comics that defines the x-men everyone always
remembers their Phoenix and it was a it was a concept that was heavily used in
the TV series and it's been used both times in the movies and obviously the
x-men 2 and last and they're on a different sort of timeline now because
we've gone back in time and changed the past and yeah but it's just funny how
both sets of franchises are both ending on that Phoenix so I can't wait to see
what Disney do and run with it next because it would be nice if it went
Disney's run of x-men comes towards its end that that also is the Phoenix ending
again it's kind of like the new franchises born out of the ashes of the
Phoenix so I think that's kind of a cool little like homage concept probably not
how they vision it all but that's how I see as a fan that the Phoenix is like
almost the end song for the films and I've really enjoyed these rebooted
movies they've been doing recently they are really really good a lot of people
have been saying like ever it's almost cool these days to hate on
movies I'm not one of those people I enjoy movies for what they are
I don't compare it to source material and rubbish like that I take the movie
at face value it's a movie it's not gonna be made for hardcore hop you know
comic book geeks that's not what we're going for they're going for a wider you
know variety of people so they make it with a little homage for the Clio for
the original soft materials but then they run with it and make it an
enjoyable film and as long as it's enjoyable and I enjoy the movies full of
action and fun I'm cooler so anyway run over we're dying to get off my chest for
ages about films this it does it almost seems that people want to thing is cool
these days just to hate on films so I haven't got Wolverine and feelings over
here again in a little in the classic pose where you stabbing
just like in the last movie totally not same costume is all in it yeah but that
that storyline actually took place on a distant planet
when they were running out of oxygen and rather than Phoenix like rather Jean
Grey burned to death Wolverine kinda takes pity and stuff as
a woman I her request obviously the one he killed her because she didn't want to
burn alive and then he carries her body into the into the Sun all the heat of
the planet but it wasn't the read that comic was like 2004 something wasn't it
wasn't that long ago I don't think we don't have the original Phoenix figure
here as well of that face sculpt is well well out of day now so let's pull that
out let's get rid of it let's take that one away and we can use the classic one
they gave us they did give us this one so this is more classic Jean Grey so
that's kind of cool well there is a time when she was the Phoenix not the dark
trees above the Phoenix in this green costume as well as well as the red and
gold so we could use that head to show that that's kind of in keeping with the
original Phoenix look although she was a little bit more wide-eyed and Wilder
come back a happy one she originally in the first ever coming yeah need some fly
sounds like a mecha hallelujah yeah Facebook is sick real like how it
looks I'm gonna keep Donna for now right guys
I'm gonna go to the desk and give you guys no close personal look at Jean and
Scott and then we'll also take a look at this are the old Jean Grey with the new
head sculpt on and yeah well I'm gonna fun so let's go to the desk ow
so he's Jean and Cyclops guys how awesome of these figures I love this
face girls love this face called snow mochi
what are your guys thoughts on these figures right that awesome Anna so these
are last kind of figures that well not the last but these were one of the last
two toys our rosettes I think he was a the last x-men toys are
upset they did which I'm gutted now because I with those arose have gone and
be able to get the first-class costumes ever again that box says well gone
because I would like to pick that up at some point but no I'm gonna sell a lot
now rather but he's such an awesome awesome thing of say I'm glad to have
this one at least so at least we have the classic look of the Dark Phoenix
because like I said it is one of those iconic stories within the Marvel sort of
them we're gonna call it like fun this and it's one of those comics that'll
live on infamous penny of that at one pose with Scott holding her um her body
and Stephanie's arms that like iconic x-men pose at this point what are your
thoughts let me know your thoughts on the Phoenix in the comment down below I
