Hasbro has been surprising us with several release of different waves and exclusives of their Marvel Legend Toylines. Such as characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Comics and even from the Netflix Series. And one of the most awesome release they did this year is this 2-pack Dark Phoenix and Cyclops.

| Front Packaging |
First things first - the packaging, this was packed in the standard Hasbro/Marvel 2-pack packaging.

| Dark Phoenix |

Up in front, as you can see we still get the generic Marvel Female articulation and still won't have any double jointed elbows. The paint application was awesome specially on the head - the tips of the hair of this default head was translucent red.

And on the other, there is actually a pretty much more normal head. Well as much as we can say we are satisfied with the other 2 heads, this one was pretty dissapointing since its a reuse of the old Ms. Marvel / Warbird head which was already used several times in other characters such as the EE Exclusive Gamora.

And Lastly, heres a comparison with the Juggernaut Wave Phoenix (Green).
1. They have the same upper torso, however the legs was changed. The Green Phoenix uses the same skinny legs the Kate Bishop (3 Pack) uses and was attached to a heeled foot which generally makes it harder to stand. On the other side, the Red Phoenix uses the same sexy legs the 3pack Ms. Marvel uses which is way better and the feet no longer has heels which makes her the ability to stand easily. But due to the changing of heels, its a cm shorter.
2. The Sash are the same except the Red Phoenix has a small logo of the Phoenix on the left.
3. Paint Application and design - well the Red has a better application but we can also see that the Phoenix Logo on the chest was bigger than the green.

| Dark Phoenix Accessory |
Dark Phoenix Accesory - Well it's better than nothing.

And of course we have the most hated Marvel Character - Cyclops on his Giant Size Costume.

As you can see as simple as it may - this is something that looks pretty awesome.

| from Left to Right, Puck Series Astonishing Cyclops, Giant Sized Cyclops, 90's Jim Lee Cyclops |
So to make things easier, I aligned all three Cyclops to compare. Sadly, I don't have the Black Marvel Now Cyclops sinced I missed that wave during the time it was released and can no longer get a piece in a fair price.
1. Compared to the other two, the Paint Application of this 2 pack Cyclops was well applied. The washing and the the gradient was perfectly applied that the shading was highly emphasized compared to the static blue of the 90's Cyclops.
2. As similar as it may seem, the head of the 2pack Cyclops and the Puck Series Astonishing Cyclops is not the same. There are large circles on the side in the ear of the 2pack Cyclops.
And that's it, I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed reviewing them and writing this entry.
As a bonus here's a couple of combination you can do with the Dark Phoenix alternate heads attached in other bodies.
Rocket Raccoon Jean Grey
