Jean Grey (Jim Lee Style) (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:65618
Name:Jean Grey (Jim Lee Style)
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:MikeMarvel  
Date Added:September 9, 2014
Base Figure:Black Cat
Height:6.00 inches
I wasn't completely happy with the Hasbro Jean Grey released, but it was good enough for awhile. Spontaneously, I happened to be messing around with some different parts for ideas when I threw the Jean head on Black Cat. I really liked the way it looked so I went about swapping out a few parts and sculpting some details. This came together pretty quickly but the paint was another story lol
Black Cat body
Jean Grey head, arm bracers, belt, left hand, and shoulder pads
Hope Summers forearms
Marvel Now Storm right hand
The lower leg 'fur' was sanded down and resculpted, the chest was sanded and sculpted as well, along with some on the shoulder pads. The paint was a real pain as you can imagine and I encountered a troubling amount of paint rub that required some re sanding and re painting. Everything was worth it though. Loving this one. Looks a lot better on my shelf than the factory one.
Thanks for looking!

UPDATE 9/13/18
Complete disassembly to take care of joint rub issue and mostly repainted. I also wanted to update the pictures. Now, up for auction!

So that's how her powers manifested. That red head needs no artificial means to hold up those babies.
If there was ever a reason to have telekinetic powers it would be for that one purpose. Jean grey never looked more mature. congrats on the epic custom.. I like it a lot. Consider me a fan.

lol the Black Cat base is VERY curvaceous! Thank you, a more mature look is what I was going for. Please by all means add me. I've got some really cool stuff coming down the pipe!

I didn't bother repainting the factory eyes since they were decent I just added a lot of details that were missing. Thank you!

oh, I feel how painfull was that body repaint I prepare myself for MJ custom made of black cat... And I already feel how hard it would be to paint this glossy plastic
But anyways result is worth of it Great job

I put a couple of coats of white car primer first. It applies good coverage over that glossy black but it leaves a slight texture, but it was necessary in this case lol
