Done and done. Thanks to Kat Sapene we now have photos of the completely approved Marvel Girl figures. Although you can’t tell from the pics, they turned out a bit smaller than I had hoped, but have no fear, a little resizing at the factory and they’ll be back in scale in no time. Until then, go place your orders - you know you want them (both).

HA! I can’t believe it took me over 9 years to work that back into an official work-related writing. Anyway, today I am here to tell you about the base that will be coming with the Marvel Select Marvel Girl action figure.This little guy is a thing of beauty. At first glance, it just looks like half of a gate to enter Xavier’s. BUT, the sign on the pillar will be Xavier’s School for Jean Grey and will be Xavier Institute for the chase figure, Rachel Summers. For those who are lucky enough to get both, the bases can be connected to form a full-functioning two-part gate. What’s even cooler is, not only does this work with any X-Men type character, but our factory can swap out gate pieces if we were to ever make someone from another group like, say, maybe the Avengers (what? me, hinting at something? never.)

Eh, so this is way rougher than I’d normally let anyone see, but I’m in a sharing mood. Here is the very first look at Sam Greenwell’s sculpt for my Marvel Girl figure. I think he knows I started this project so I could have a good Jean Grey figure, and he sent Rachel’s head to taunt me, but it’s cool. I know Jean will look just as good. I haven’t reviewed the sculpt yet - I was so excited that I had to post it right away, but offhand it looks like it is headed in the right direction. (Although, methinks young Ms. Grey needs to smile more. C’mon, she’s young, she’s hot, she’s got superpowers - Why so serious?)
