This new version of Jean Grey, which is numbered 95 in the set of 96, is described by WizKids as follows:

"Cheap enough to field in a 200-point force, Jean Grey as Phoenix is a flying telepath with a top move of 10. Get her across the field to those hard-to-reach heavy objects, and have her toss them around with Telekinesis. Toughness and Energy Shield/Deflection provide protection from other ranged attacks. Protect Phoenix with close-combat and other offensive pieces, and let her smash objects and warriors into each other."

The Marvel HeroClix: Xplosion expansion is due for release in March. Pre-order it online now from X-World Comics and help support X-Fan! (http://x-worldcomics.com/yourvirtualstore/shopexd.asp?id=3348)

Cool! :) Doesn't look fantastic, but the things are so small you usually don't see any of the "ugliness" they might possess unless you're looking at 'em close.

[Draggor]

Excellent. Range 12, move 10 and TK. Looks like she'll be a more useful taxi than Rogue. Looks like 85 points I think, so she can easily be swapped with the Vet Rogue. No mind control still. No suupport either it appears. At least We've got one X woman now who doesn't need a paper bag.

[Zachary J. Morrison]

Uhhh...I know this doesn't look great, but it kinda sucks. I think it has to do with the ugliness, but I doubt I'll get it.

Should be a nice piece to use in the field of battle. Can you imagine the TK tennis now though Eric? Phoenix vs Magneto, both flyers!

[Alex Guillen]

I like the figure and she's really powerful so she's really a must have for me at least.:)

[Dave Harris]

I very much like the sculpt, and of the figures who actually have faces as opposed to masks, I think Phoenix is among the nicer ones.

Plus, since this is meant to represent only the beginning of Phoenix's power-ups, I hope that there is an implication of future figures becoming even stronger.

[Eric J. Moreels]

Hopefully it means we'll see a Dark Phoenix 'Clix in the near future!

LOL! :LOL: That was funny, xgene :)

And to reply to Eric's post...I could see that. It just has to be a good looking sculpture of Jean's bad side. It better not be like the one we just saw. It is kinda ugly :eek: Otherwise, I would possibly get it.

[Wolverine]

Yay A Jean Heroclix. This is definitly on my list to get

Hey, yeah, wouldn't that be cool? Perhaps Dark Phoenix is a Unique version in this set, non? But seeing that Jean's numbered as #95 in a #96 set, most likely not... Or the last number would be Dark Phoenix!!! :) Let's hope...

But anyways, Jean looks awesome and I hope I'll get it in one of my packs... she looks WAY better then Psylocke, at least I think so. :)

[Dazzler130]

Phoenix, Mystique, Storm, Psylocke, Colossus, Ironman, Silver Sumuria, new spider-man, new daredevil, and yet another Elektra. I can not wait until the release the rest of the figures in the set. I am still waiting for a Dazzler and Havok.

[Refleshed]

And I for a Gambit... but I don't see that one coming!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

(sorry, had to let that one out... :D )

Apparantly there is a Gambit in the set, so I have been told.

[venombytes]

It'd stand to reason there'd be a gambit as this is supposed to be the X-centric set. :)

[strangerx]

This is a really great looking figure, though dark phoenix would be awesome.
