Hasbro has put out some updated images for their upcoming 6" X-Men Marvel Legends 3-pack which features 90's versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops and Wolverine.

Comparing the images that were released back in July during SDCC for the set and these new images, it appears Hasbro has made some slight modifications to the 2 headculpts that will be included in the set for Jean.

You can see below a comparison with the original images featuring the white background and the new updated images featuring a the black background.

Originally the headsculpt with the hair down featured an open mouth were you could see her teeth and the headsculpt with the hair in the ponytail had a closed mouth. With the new images it looks like that has been reversed. The one with the hair down now appears to have a closed mouth and the one with the ponytail has an open mouth.

The masks on the headsculpt also seem to have been modified a bit. Originally the one with the ponytail had the mask extend out on the side of her face and the one with the hair down did not. Now that to seems to have been reversed between the two headsculpts.

While seemingly minor modification, which versions do you prefer?

If I'm remembering right the new headsculpts are more accurate to their respective media (Jean had the cheek-covering half-cowl in the comics (sometimes) but not in the animated series).

Oh man, I didn't even notice at first. That must be the whole reason why they switched it.

I know this was confirmed to not be accurate but i really wish this was accurate Im absolutely always keeping the ponytail head on and would prefer to not be cheesin all the time

Kinda prefer the hair up look with the open mouth.I wonder how difficult a hair swap between the two would be

I'm just glad her hair is a brighter red...I don't like the "auburn" they have used in the past. I'm good with any of the head sculpts...im thankful for this figure set.

Toyshiz confirmed the original look is the one we are getting. New pics are actually old proto pics and not accurate.

oh well..i guess it doesn't matter too much either way, maybe you could boil and pop the hair to swap it

I preferred it the way they had it initially, but, no matter. I just hope they've finally settled on a facial likeness for Jean at long last (how many have we had now? 4-5? Lol!)

Agree, and this from a guy who NEVER liked this outfit for her. It made no sense; what is that supposed to be, a mask? A balaclava? Is that thing a yellow onesie? Are those thigh pads on the side of the legs? I disliked the outfit so much I was happy to sell the rocket racoon baf I wound up with. But here's the thing! Hasbro has done such a good job here that I'm actually buying this one! Now that's saying something. Still have the same objections to Jim Lee's costume design (if he's the one who did) but they did such a good job, I'm going with it. Really admire the work here.
