Atlas or not to Atlas?

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.

its listed as Billy idol. The link that gets copied is for one that is in stock. You can select the cheaper option that’s sold directly from Amazon

Yeah, I can verify that you get the Grim Ghost when you order that. The Phoenix is listed as "Mego Twisted Sister." I think that Mego used old ONIX codes in a rush. I was curious, I ordered them and got them.

Although I should add I got dinged for customs because these do come from across the curtain.
