I had the exact same motivations for getting this one. It was just supposed to complement the Rogue figure. Nice to see it’s more than just a very expensive filler

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Absolutely!

[@bobolones6834]

Have to say IMO youve become one of the best figure reviewers and posers on youtube. Its clear youre putting in a lot of work on these videos and I hope your channel keeps growing. On topic, the figure is great! I stay away from 1/6th due to space like you said. Rogue would get me tho.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Rogue will get us all! Haha. Thank you for the kind words

[@MG6344]

Your poses are always so good.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you!

[@Immune2Fear09]

It looks incredible. After watching your video- I'm now glad I decided to pick a Gambit up to go with my Rogue. The details, the shading, the paint job, the accessories. Couldn't have asked for more. Also, I GYAT to recreate that pose for display 13:23 when mine gets delivered. Thanks for the awesome pose ideas.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Glad I could help!

"No Sir I did not see you playing with your dolls again" .. lol 🤣

[@Xman_supreme]

Once I got into the line, I had long since missed the timed edition of Gambit. I’m glad that they not only released a standard edition with Rogue, but he’s not a “deluxe or bust” figure. This one is great…lol and I’m very glad that I didn’t spend $400 on eBay for the earlier release.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

He was back on their site yesterday (the timed edition)

[@Xman_supreme]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed no shit? They just last month had a run of older figures that had been long sold out. I gotta keep a better eye on them lol

[@OldManPhillips]

Thank you for making the request for the accessory set Johnny. Your voice is louder than ours since you are now an action figure influencer, and if any of the Mondo team watches this video, they’ll hear you and definitely consider it. As I said on the Rogue video, I’m hoping they release a DLC pack. So cheers for making the request and for looking out for me and the community. Hoping for more success for you.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you very much

[@kingego2153]

Did you happen to score the cyclops? If so did you get the limited edition🤯

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I did!

[@Istvantastic]

Great video. Amazing figures... cant justify the price and space (for now)

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

The price is standard but they do add up quick

[@louieformen5920]

Anyone know where the best place to get ultra ego head sculpts/A figure? Or Super Saiyan Blue evolution? W vid btw.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Demoniacal Fit has made several options I think.

[@louieformen5920]

​@@NostalgiaUnboxed Thanks, I've been searching for so long. Love the videos by the way. You are 100% my favorite and the best unboxing channel. Less than 40k subscribers is criminal!

[@heymikey857]

6:23 Chest explanation 😂lol, I would watch that episode and 14:14 recreating a scene from Spaceballs the Movie😂🤣😂

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Hahaha 😂

[@Wa11s0fJericho]

I'm so thankful for your posing section on this guy, cause I just had such a tough time trying to find a cool pose for him because of the limitations at the elbows. But now I have like ten to choose from. To the card... I initially thought it was an effect to pop over the top of a playing card (which would have been really cool), but I don't mind it as is.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Glad I could help! Let me know what you do

[@JM-yk6ow]

I have the Mafex gambit but this mondo version is awesome. Great vid and great poses. I like the gambit / rogue cover pose. You gave me a good idea. X men forever ha

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you very much

[@thesilentknight4554]

I just started this collection line, & I'm in trouble cause I need everyone haha! I cannot wait for Professor X & Beast! I keep smiling just thinking about it😁🌟

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Those two will be pricey! haha

[@Daripper78]

great review ,great idea for accesories! I would love to get a winking rouge head.oh and those are some freaking nice poses by the way!!! 💪

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you! With all the replacement heads from Mondo I’m sure you can get the winking one soon from someone

[@Jag2045]

Great review - have you gotten any of the Batman TAS Mondo figures at all?

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you! I’m avoiding that line as best as I can. Haha

[@Jag2045]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I know what you mean - I have some of the BTAS Mondo's - so have been having to avoid the X-Men line! But glad I can watch your reviews of them :)

[@shawnwilcowski]

Mondo has been doing good with these!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

So good!

[@redboone1509]

I think the card hands are meant for a before and during the card spring flourish. You could pair them with a normal relaxed hand when using them? Both at the same time makes it look like there are too many cards or they are really thick

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That’s how they had them shown off in promos

[@redboone1509]

Well then, I'm a dumbass. It would probably work tho. It just didnt really look right unless hes using an Uno deck.

[@redboone1509]

Hes so badass tho and that's the only part I found a "problem" with and that's nothing. Those figures are what Marvel Legends should look like plus on steroids and absolutely too close to perfection. That's why refuse to get them lol. My other figs would be irrelevant compared to those or any other 1/6 scale done by a reputable company

[@BMoney_Batman]

I’m surprised that you can pose 1/6 so good🥳💪 Great job!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you!

[@blakeallen391]

I thoroughly enjoyed gambit doing a Pepe le pew impersonation. Spot on.

[@jarellano1014]

I like to get him to go with my Rogue, but then I'd want to get brown Wolverine but then that would lead to wanting to get Cyclops!🤦‍♂️ So I think I'll just get the female Xmen & wait for Jean Grey!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Ladies only club?

[@yoda5436]

dang i wish mafex gambit got an unmasked head, the rest of the xmen line did, and come on who doesn't want that pony tail

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, a rat tail maybe

[@hsoj32]

Can I request a protractor segment so I know the exact angle of the articulation points?

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

My brain protractor isn’t cutting it, huh? 😂

[@BooshmanLee]

Not sure if Hatter sent you the pic I sent him of Gambit with an arm off? The shape of the pegs makes switching the arms on this fella very difficult. I did it but the one coming off was destoyed in the process.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Oh noooooooooo

[@HellHoKitty-s7d]

In the X-Men universe, the Genosha collars are designed to suppress mutant abilities. So yes, if Rogue were to wear a Genosha collar, it would cancel out her powers, preventing her from absorbing the abilities, memories, and life force of others through touch. These collars are a significant plot element, especially in stories involving Genosha, where mutants are often captured and enslaved. The collars neutralize their powers, making them unable to resist or escape.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

It seems logical

[@HellHoKitty-s7d]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed So beast could alter it and make it to where it won't explode and poof for Gambit and Rogue are just fine to have babies, if he weren't dead...Well that's Disney for ya.

[@frankschuler2867]

I don't own any Mondo stuff, so don't throw too many stones my way, lol. Rogue and Gambit look nice, but these figures really just look like upscaled Marvel Legends with better deco and more accessories to me. I don't know...maybe those improvements plus the lower production runs justify the prices. Do they really feel that much better? I'd at least like to see a little more articulation range. Regardless, nice review as always! Edit: I feel to compelled to add that the ass they put on Rogue is a national treasure, lol. Maybe she's worth it!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I would never call these upscaled Marvel Legends. Not even close. Honestly, you just gotta find a friend locally and check one out

[@frankschuler2867]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed What do the joints feel like? Like an SHF or something? I don't know anybody local who owns any Mondo stuff...maybe I can check one out at a toy shop or something. I'm intrigued, at least! At the end of the day, I really don't have space for a 1/6 scale collection anyway, so I should probably just ask for people to talk me out of looking into them any more deeply, lol...

[@zwesley23]

Mondo is great when it comes to accessories, but for the amount of money they charge, you would think they would have more articulation.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I guess

[@justintorres502]

I know you gotta do it... But watching you fully test the articulation, twisting him all around and stuff just really makes me nervous lol

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha. Me too

[@ToyCollector-qz5kp]

Perfect whenever they incorporate double jointed elbows ❤❤❤. Hopefully one day. Super 7 did it with the TMNT. Mondos not to far away.....Hopefully. Great video 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I didn't pull the trigger on the timed Edition with the sentinel base and alternate Rogue heads... I listened to Hatter, exclusive or bust. Since I didn't want to start a new line I chickened out.

It’s frustrating because while these figures look so good, I have zero interest in this massive scale nor the price tag associated with it.
