That doesn't explain how it sticks on the masked hair with the hair behind the head.

The photographer probably just used sticky tac or something similar for this promo shot.

I think it "locks in" under the hair wisps.

Not sure this Jean Grey figure has a place in my collection, but it's a great look figure nonetheless. On the fence about picking it up, just cause this isn't the particular era of the X-Men, I typical have featured, but being that it's a Target exclusive, I may grab it just in case.

I just hope I can order this freakin thing. The last few Target exclusives didn't even last a minute on the site before disappearing. It always seems to be feast or famine with Target. Nowhere to be seen, or pegwarming at 12 dollars clearance. No real rhyme or reason either. That MK and 1st app Spidey pegwarmed all over my local Targets. But never saw Widow or Danvers ever.

I hope this Jean winds up pegwarming and goes to clearance. Not that I think it's likely, I just can see a multitude of potential custom uses for that second head for characters I know they will never, ever bother making. Can't think of any other female heads they've put out with that kind of tight mask covering the face (except for Hydra women, but those have bug eyes). The face itself is nice and expressive, too.

My chime-in here: I want to STOP Collecting Marvel Legends.That's my end-goal in this----and I've been collecting ML from the very beginning.But I have an agenda--I want the DEFINITIVE versions of the characters I know. Once I see those, I will buy them, and then I can stop with that character. I can move on to the NEXT character, I seek.Now, I get what Hasbro is doing........they are rolling out permutations, different versions to extend the life of their brand and to address collectors' different wants.And I'm okay with that because everyone has their own tastes.My tastes are specific, and when I see something that comes close to what i want, but still misses.........yeah, I groan. I kavetch, I complain. I want to stop.Now, I know some voices out there will ask me : "Why don't I just quit anyway??" and it's clear that some don't understand why I complain and yet still hang in the game.My answer is: I don't want to leave this brand with disappointment of not getting exactly what i want, instead I want to bask in the glow of satisfaction with a toy-line collection that is completely exactly what I have always wanted. I think it's reasonable, I think it's attainable..........and I think it can happen in the next couple of years.

has anyone figured out why this Jean is missing her boots? usually i feel like people are able to find like "oh for some reason it looks like the Legends team used this specific statue or this one comic cover with an off-model feature as reference when designing this figure", but i have yet to find any depiction of X-Factor Jean missing her boots

I'm gratified that you understand my zeal for accuracy on these figures isn't just some comic book geek guy, ranting in his basement. The thing about how they handle the Vision's boots (AND his BELT), though, is symbolic of an underlying problem of sporadic laziness on hasbo's part, that I think generates some of the disdain a lot of collectors have. Bottom line, they could do better, and we know that when we look at figures like Maverick, Psycho-Man, Iron Man (Heroes Return), and of course Spiral (!)....I just want these to be what they're supposed to be.

ABSOLUTELY! I just hate when it seems like the only time someone chimes in is to gripe. Your comments don't feel like that. I certainly have figures I feel just as passionately about those missed details or not as good as they could be details (never had a Wolverine head sculpt with a proper big-jawed growl like Madureira or Bachalo draws him, no Captain America head sculpt with the black around the A, Warbird being great but too small, never getting Iceman right, Beast with no real paint apps), but I do think they get it right way more often than they don't.
