Can't handle the cloth cape. Sideshow will be hit and miss for me until that changes.

Me too! Said not great all along and still does. But I got the email and am very excited!

I hate to say it but I like all of these eyes, lol. Maybe the green eyes for Green Phoenix and orange for Red Phoenix. Oh, and the new hair sculpt is a big improvement
