[@schadenfreudeind]

Why is it so hard for companies to complete a team? I think Marvel Legends has sort of completed the Jim Lee X-Men but maybe not if you consider that they switch between styles (cell-shaded, comic book, animated series, etc.). I hope both Mondo and Mafex can complete their respective teams

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Dude, I know. Mafex makes wonderful items, but we need them to complete the line. How Rogue doesn’t exist is mind blowing

[@schadenfreudeind]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Mafex smartly got in front of '97 by re-releasing their existing X-Men, but yeah, they need to get Rogue out ASAP (nothing Mafex does is ASAP). They are pretty much only three figures away from completing the Jim Lee team: Rogue, Beast, Jubilee

Such a great video. The music choice and video style really gives off MKBHD vibes. Really appreciate the elevated take on toy reviews. Anyway that Gambit is amazing and I think you have me convinced that Mafex is the way to go for comic figures and Mondo for cartoon.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@fatalradius]

Great figure! The only con to it are Gambit's eyes. Usually black and red.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Often, yes. This is Jim Lee inspired

[@wallybescotty]

Cool video, dig the Gambit, was weird cause the intro song you got on here, they play on our training videos at work :D was messing with me til i realized im not crazy and overworked lol

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha! That’s wild!

[@Wa11s0fJericho]

I love this figure, but it really showcases what a challenge it is to translate Gambit's coat to a functional figure form. I think the static plastic coats always look the best, but they severely restrict the posability. Soft goods-wise, I think the original Toy Biz Marvel Legends Gambit had the best looking coat, but it was still kind of limited in what you could achieve without a wire. And then there's another Gambit out there (Revoltech, maybe?) where the coat is hard plastic with multiple points of articulation. On that one, you can get some really great-looking action poses, but the coat doesn't look great in a neutral pose. I don't know where I was going with all that... but I'm REALLY looking forward to getting the Mondo version (with Rogue) in a couple months.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I, too, got Gambit and Rogue. Very excited! Revoltech is a brand that never looks good just standing there, but can look awesome in a pose haha

[@Wa11s0fJericho]

I should add that BBTS has this guy up for pre-order currently. $89.99. Says it should ship in June. For anyone that needs/wants one.

Feels unfair to compare it to Marvel Legends, when that's a twenty-five dollar figure -- and for close to a hundred dollars, the Mafex better be a much better figure lol Also, if we're comparing, the fact that Legends has designs on the cards while the ninety-plus dollar figure doesn't is extremely frustrating. Great figure and great review overall, but honestly, I'm still very happy with my ToyBiz figure, the soft goods hide the janky articulation and joints , plus he still poses very well and has paint just as good as Mafex's.
