Ok, Marvel Girl has gone a long way and the Phoenix thing has done the rounds to the point that we all know she really IS a powerhouse. Character-wise she has become the brood-mothery, stand-tall-when-the-firing-starts veteran leader. Clothes-wise she has opted for one of many (and Jean's closet must be roomy) long jackets/coats, with a grey jumper (?- wow, I'm feelin' all fashionista!). She wears a variety of X-motifs on these sometimes yellow piped, sometimes quilted always long black coats from the broad yellow X on her jumper to a broad grey X on the back of her coat to the X-Logo in yellow on her shoulders and/or chest. Yellow X or Metallic X buckles, black pants and boots. She has choices...So with a now classic REV Jean Grey, a Ultimate X-men REV & a new and cool X-Factor Jean and a plethora of Jean/Maddie/Phoenix-related Uniques I wanted one to represent a contemporary post X-men-movies/New X-Men JG. So I used the base of the edgier Ultimate-X-men Vet Marvel Girl and the Jessica Jones sculpt. Other than a flicker of Phoenixy psychic flame, leftover from Shaman and to cover the drink (?), the effect is all through dabs of paint to bring out the nuances of the subtlest of Jean's long-coat ensembles.All Black blends with the new Jean, she can keep her understated hero thing without looking like a girly sidekick which, by now, is so not her role.
She even works with the base as she does not feel like she will break (the JJ archenemy base dillema) when you turn her dial.
