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.
