Marvel Legends Rogue Unreleased Prototype Figure with Custom Head and Scarf BAF | eBay

Marvel Legends Unreleased White Phoenix Figure Jean Grey BAF SDCC | eBay

$199, $500, and $750 respectively. With 7, 23, 17 watchers each at the point of my posting this message. What I find most troubling about the white Phoenix (other than it being nearly $1000) is that whomever is listing it has pics of the fig packaged. In my opinion, trying to create an illusion that this is in some way authentic product is pretty smarmy (a gross understatement on my part, but the seller very well might be within our own ranks - an attempt at politeness). Whomever listed this does go on to detail that the head is a recast. However, the title of the listing does not read as honestly: "Marvel Legends Unreleased White phoenix figure Jean Grey BAF SDCC." An important notation, because the other two listings offer the descriptor "recast" or "prototype" within the title, whereas the white Phoenix fig does not. Welcome to the seedy end-result of the Chinese headless fig market. That didn't take very long...Personally, I find this behavior far more disturbing than that of scalpers and I hope Hasbro finds a way to release all of these figures. The sooner the better to stop this new brand of exploitation of the collecting community.

On a lighter note, and maintaining the theme of "released" figs...It took a while, but I'm happy to have finally completed this team of ne'er-do-wells...despite their scale issues...
