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:

The White Phoenix of the Crown, based on the design from Phoenix: Endsong.

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!

The Sideshow collectables team has just given every reason to make Jean Grey fans rise from the ashes of despair. Coming the first quarter of 2009, a beautiful 13-inch Jean Grey statue decked out in her ‘90s outfit. That’s right I said “‘90s outfit.”

From Sideshow’s official site:
“Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the outstanding Marvel statues and busts created by Bowen Designs. These high-quality polystone, detailed collectibles feature your favorite Marvel characters as they appear in a wide range of comics.

The Jean Grey Statue stands over 13-inches high. This intricately sculpted statue is cast in high-quality polystone, a great addition to any Marvel collection!”

In the past, our favorite fiery red head has been known to wear a variety of costumes. However, only the ‘90s outfit created by Jim Lee has held such a strong hallmark in the heart of Jean fans due to her heavy exposure in the X-men Animated Series or aka the Golden era of Jean Grey-Summers.

Fans would note that Jean in her ‘90s outfit is a rare commodity. Most statues and busts done in Jean’s likeness have solely been in her vintage outfits, dark or green Phoenix uniforms, or alternatives such as the New X-men suite or Black Queen costume. This statue marks the début of Jean in her ‘90s outfit and if you can’t stop staring at it, there must be something wrong with you!

My original thought when I saw this statue was YES! Sideshow gets the character of Jean—they understand who she actually is and aren’t trying to impose an image on her like they did with their Emma Frost statue last year (whose face looked so realistic it was almost generic).

You’ll note that Sideshows has released a variety of other X-characters in their previous line, most notably their X-men vs. Sentinel Diorama which consisted of the Astonishing X-men battling sentinels. Although the price tag was a bit high (with each statue being roughly around 300s), Sideshow was able to capture the essence of the X-men.  My only complaint is that I would preferred a fiery telekensis energy instead of pink energy. But beggars can’t be choosers, and I’ve already pre-ordered mine and so should you.
