    I did find an Atlas Phoenix at a reasonable price on ebay. Some QC issues on the unitard, but the figure seems sturdy and it's for a custom.

    Regarding the head, it's nice enough but, as some have noted, pedestrian in style. It's not an original sculpt--it's a resized and repainted copy of a vintage head (Tong, I think). A bit of careful sanding/buffing to the chin/jawline helps balance the sculpt IMO.

    I don't mind Mego recycling, but for Phoenix a much more heroic head would would be a copy of vintage Will Scarlet/Galahad--again, IMO.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.
