That's it. Otherwise, the paint masks and accessories are identical.

Her signature features are two pairs of bat wings: a small pair on her head and a larger pair growing from her waist. These are new sculpts, since the original had the more simplified sculptural style of that era. Unfortunately, they're thin and flexible enough that they can get warped by their time in the package. The paint is decent, with the bat pattern on her legs covering both the front and outsides of the legs. Since Phoenix has the flame bird, the set only includes a stand for Morrigan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Minimate Mini-Review #54 - Origins Wolverine &#038; Agent Zero\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/05\/minimate-mini-review-54-origins-wolverine-agent-zero\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Minimate Mini-Review #54 - Origins Wolverine &#038; Agent Zero<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Marvel Legends Sauron\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2015\/08\/soon-forget-marvel-legends-sauron\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Marvel Legends Sauron<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Minimate Mini-Review #102 - X-Force Cannonball &#038; Shatterstar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2013\/06\/minimate-mini-review-102-x-force-cannonball-shatterstar\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Minimate Mini-Review #102 - X-Force Cannonball &#038; Shatterstar<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"X-Men Legends: House of X Omega Sentinel addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/05\/x-men-legends-house-of-x-omega-sentinel-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">X-Men Legends: House of X Omega Sentinel addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Darkstalkers Anakaris\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2024\/02\/soon-forget-darkstalkers-anakaris\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Darkstalkers Anakaris<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#131 - Phoenix\/Morrigan &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Minimate Mini-Review #144 - Taskmaster &#038; Nathan Spencer How obscure is ML? \"Secret Wars: E is for Extinction\" #1 variant Marvel Legends Hellfire Club addendum Minimate Mini-Review #351 - Mojo &#038; Spiral<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,25,137],"tags":[245,432,53,74],"class_list":["post-13975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-asylum","category-marvel","category-mmmr","tag-capcom","tag-darkstalkers","tag-minimates","tag-x-men"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13975"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41532,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13975\/revisions\/41532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
