I realize it's supposed to represent the same costume, but it looks uncannily similar.

I'm thinking I'm probably going to cave on the Ch'od wave and order the figures that come with BAF parts this weekend. Since it's the X-Men BAF wave for the year, I can usually justify that to myself as long as I just stick with that one wave. It's not because I'm particularly wanting to get Ch'od specifically, more like, aside from the Monet I already have, that's another 5 characters never done in Legends form before. Which is actually a really high percentage for 6 of the 8 to be making their character debut in the line.

Regarding Emma it's not going to change my mind to if I do or don't get her, it's more just trivial interest if it is indeed the same base body. Which again, is fine, I didn't have a problem with the body from 2007, just the head, which looks great on this new figure.

Lordbest is correct, Nash, they share no parts and the new one is a vast improvement. They seem similar because they represent the same uni, as you mentioned, but that's where the similarities end. I have both, so I speak from a perspective of firsthand knowledge. It's a great fig, one of the better ones in the wave, and the only one with all unique/new parts.

EDIT: The only drawback, IMO, is that the cape limits the articulation of her arms, and, best I can tell, the cape cannot be removed without unpegging it from her chest leaving the holes where the cape slots in.
