Marvel Bishoujo Collection 1/7 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Jean Grey
Much like her namesake, the Phoenix, this is one red head that keeps coming back for more. Kotobukiya is releasing Jean Grey in her Jim Lee costume as part of their Marvel Bishoujo line. Striking a sexy pose and ready for action she makes a great complement to the Psylocke and Rouge statues already out. This stunning statue can be preorder now for $49.99 at Big Bad Toy Store with a release date of August 2011.
Jean Grey is one of the most popular women in comic history. To pay tribute to her, Yamashita Shunya drew another illustration for her, after his picture of Phoenix. As an Omega class mutant, she has telepathic and telekinetic powers, the figure captures her focusing all her might in a battle.
The blue and yellow suit is a return to the origins, it molds to her super model body shape. Yamashita Shunya retains her muscular form, but softened the lines so that she seem more delicate and fit better with the Japanese bishojo style.
Standing on an exploding cloud with missiles and a jet below her feet, Phoenix activates the full force of her charm. Jean Grey lights up July

In addition to the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix statues being released by Kotobukiya, I found this gem, which is a San Diego Comic Con International Preview Night only release:

Marvel Bishoujo – Phoenix & Dark Phoenix Statues
Thanks to Mir Hite for this find.
I’ve been a big fan of Jean Grey and the X-Men for as long as I can remember. And I’m also a big fan of anime and Japanese culture. When I heard that Japanese figure making company ‘Kotobukiya’ was making a line that they called Marvel Bishoujo, I was really excited! They started off with Rogue, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch… now, they’ve added not only Psylocke to their repertoire, but…
Jean Grey as the Phoenix! You can see more images and order from here.
And also as the Dark Phoenix! You can see more here and even pre-order.
They’re not Bowen Designs figures, but they’re definitely Jean, and they capture her rather nicely in both figures. The links that I provided have not only pictures, but you can also put in pre-orders for both versions–I definitely did!
Hope you enjoy these links!
