Cliché comic book imagery aside, I picked the classic version of this character over the modern version (also released), because I prefer the way it looks. I think that Hasbro's done just about the best job of rendering blond feathered hair that anyone can do. That, and because all of the modern Ms. Marvels that I've seen had terrible paint.

Ms. Marvel comes with the same mix of strong and weak elements that all of the figures from this line have. On the one hand there's some nice detail, and the articulation for a 3-3/4-inch figure is good. But on the other hand, some of the paint lines can be loose, and a few of the articulation points seem poorly placed.
My earlier comments about "proportion" are related to how Hasbro put the torso joint where they did. Instead of using a ball joint near the waist, her chest seems large, because they've put the joint so high. They've done this with the male figures also, but it really stands out and seems weird with the female figures.
Little things like that don't kill the fun factor though, and ultimately it's a winner, if not absolutely perfect.

Nice, I have seen this one in stores a couple of times, but seeing it out of the package makes it look that much better, I might have to pick it up now.
