This costume of Jean Grey's is my absolute favorite. I love the retro styling, I love the bright colors, and I love the overall simplicity of it. This was actually the uniform that she wore when I was first exposed to the her (on the cover of Classic X-Men #43). I was always into cartoon culture as a kid, but I didn't get bit by the comic bug until I was 10 and my family moved into the center of a small town with three active comic shops. It took me a couple of year to get hooked. I started with properties I was familiar with, like G.I.Joe and Batman, but before long I was desperately seeking employment (which for a kid meant raking leaves and delivering newspapers) just to fund my newfound addiction. This Marvel Girl costume brings me such a wave of nostalgia for that time. She first donned the yellow domino mask in the iconic X-Men #39 from 1967 and kept it until Issue #101 when she became Phoenix. This Marvel Girl has received a decent amount of merchandising, but I think this is the only piece I'll own (too many pricey statues). I'll spotlight the rest below though. Let's get on to the review!
