Mafex Gambit Review!!! (One of the best

[@chrisjordan8109]

His upper vest has a cooling gel throughout that helps regulate his body temp during his capers, the colors and stripes are RANK among the thieves guild, the more strips the higher ranked THEIF, his suit can withstand some damage but mostly for stealth, the armored boots are for adhering to roofs and building sides, he became a master thief before learning his powers so his uniform is a MASTER THIEF uniform, which is why he never took a suit from Beast, and also why villains recognize him as their own, fyi, LOVE THIS REVIEW!!!!

[@jctroller83]

Amiami has mine in the mail, can’t wait. As for other characters, I’m really hoping to see Mafex give us a Daredevil. Their ariticulation is fantastic and lends itself to him and I’d love to see what they could do with the billy clubs.

[@Getwright-]

Its interesting that mafex went with a cloth jacket fir gambit but a -lastic one for Hush. (also has jim lee just been redrawing gmbit as different characters for 30 years? Gambit, grifter, maverick, hush)

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

🤣🤣🤣 Guys/Sasquatch Men with jackets are the coolest aren’t they!?!? Yeah, I’m a little surprised they gave Hush a plastic jacket, kinda ruined the figure for me honestly

[@maxhomeshteezy]

I heard in another review why we got a plastic one, can't remember the reviewer but basically the theory I heard is because you don't really see hush with his jacket off they didn't have a good enough reference so they didn't want it coming off, and I personally think theyre testing the waters with releasing this and the hush figure, so hopefully they stay cloth from now on

[@TheToyOdyssey]

@@maxhomeshteezy it was d_amazing who said that.

[@Creukelen]

The COAT swap was really something I wanted to see that others just failed to deliver. I contemplated getting a toybiz gambit for the coat, but I’m a use the Mezco Jim Gordon Coat. Also it’s a COAT lol, not a jacket. The difference between a coat and jacket is the length. That Cyclops figure has a jacket and Gambit has a coat.

[@cookedit]

A Mafex Nightcrawler using their comicbook Spider-Man body would be ideal. The sculpt and articulation would be perfect for the character.

[@kbuttstadt]

Kurt with Spidey that Mafex Spidey articulation would be incredible. but then we'd need Colossus (since we already have Wolverine) to fill out the X-booze drinking club.

[@danielreid4182]

They’d need to fix the wrist peg issue though. I’m hoping that’s the case for the black costume Spider-Man that’s out next year

[@cookedit]

@@danielreid4182 LOL. My Mafex comic Spider-Man's wrist pegs both broke within 5 mins of me unboxing it. 2nd worst Mafex figure I own out of 50. The body proportions are perfect though for Pete or a potential Kurt though.

[@cookedit]

@@kbuttstadt Unlikely at this stage. Since Mafex never do big body figures (Hulkbuster doesn't count). Otherwise, I would love a 90's comic, Fox cartoon or Capcom inspired Apocalypse by them.

[@danielreid4182]

@@cookedit same thing happened to me. Buy the MCU versions don’t have that issue

[@_kickingbird_7907]

I got mine last week and have not been able to put him down. For those that say the jacket is too big - this figure is meant to be posed dynamically, so the jacket needs a little room to allow for that. As much as I think the jacket fits as it should, I’m keeping mine off for the moment. He looks so much sleeker when posed without it. Great review!

[@aaroneaston8899]

Iceman with many effects. Sabretooth with atleast 4 head scuplts.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Oh yes!!! I’d be so down for both of those!

[@juansanchez209]

This is definitely the best Gambit figure! The Mezco Gambit is a terrible Gambit figure, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. It's a nice figure in a vacuum, but mobility and articulation are such a vital part of Gambit's character that the lack of torso articulation on the Mezco Gambit singlehandedly ruins that figure.

[@EarthsGeomancer]

Amazing Yamaguchi Gambit

[@cookedit]

@@EarthsGeomancer The Yamaguchi has the best articulation but worst looks; The highly visible cuts and revo joints, along with the warped face with orangy complexion and especially tragic looking coat, are too much of a compromise for marginally better articulation over the Mafex. Yamaguchi: Looks ⭐⭐ Articulation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessories ⭐⭐ Mezco: Looks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Articulation ⭐⭐ Accessories ⭐⭐⭐ Marvel Legends (latest version): Looks ⭐⭐⭐ Articulation ⭐⭐ Accessories ⭐⭐ Mafex: Looks ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Articulation ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessories ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mafex wins as it is the only one without compromises, in my opinion.

DUDE. Mafex Nightcrawler & Mafex Colossus! I’d love to see those get made!

[@Getwright-]

My 4 favorite xmen are probably In order: nightcrawler, colossus, beast, wolverine (im actually a bigger fan of the claremont years) so those would be my top picks for mafex figures. But if they keep with 90s characters I wouldn’t mind a jubilee, that way i could get her with a soft goods jacket and some good effects blasts

[@ThatWrestlingHound]

Mafex is the best action figure line out there making the best comic book figures and giving marvel & dc figures that can go together perfectly.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

That shot of Gambit on the Sentinel is great! I also never really thought about what material Gambit's coat was made of--I can understand the assumption it would be leather, but I agree I think a softer material is more likely (ala David Tennant's Doctor's coat).

[@devinkavanaugh1034]

The figure comes with stands for the big effect pieces

[@XandeRToXic]

Wade, your posing skills are amazing. So quick and accurate.

[@herculeslol1]

Thanks Wade great review, can’t wait to get my fig.

[@Nyc_figure_fanatic]

Had no intention on getting this. But now im on the hunt!!! Excellent review!

[@iceman4121]

As a collector of the good old days marvel legends (not the ones from today, marvel legends today is garbage) and a collector of mafex I can say that mafex reminds me most of the old marvel legends, which is a good thing. Those figures back in the day hold up to today, a decade later and they are still amazing figures. Aside from qc issues back in the day, mafex is top of the line. They have everything a collector could want.

[@fiercekrypton]

I’m glad you showed the toy biz version because to me this new mafex figure gives me the same feelings I got when I was a kid and I got that toy bizz figure

[@jalladin]

If MAFEX were to do a Storm it would be amazing and she definately needs more figures with good articulation. A MAFEX Apocalypse would be dope too

[@Chalor.]

27:40 ...and you don't even need the included effect stand to pull of a pose like that. I like how the cards on the big effects are larger to pull off the illusion more. Unbiasly, I think this might be the best figure Mafex has ever made. You weren't kidding with talkin' about how much fun you're gonna have with the Sentinel. That's one badass picture man.

[@Doombot_]

Awesome review, Wade. Really dig the pics you took, especially that last one. Mafex really slays the competition with these comic figs.

[@scottvillett4854]

I would love to see Mafex take a shot at Fantomx.....I love this Gambit figure and I also really love the Magneto (comic version) but yea Mafex is the go to for any character with a cape or coat of some kind their soft goods are awesome for 1/12 stuff....great review man

[@sundownstudios2.075]

Don't forget Jean Grey is coming too. I would love a Jim Lee style Beast and Archangel. Of course you have to throw in a Iceman.

[@trevormcguire6984]

Super dope! I can't wait to get mine in. Psylocke is gonna pair up awesome with this Xmen lineup from mafex. And I almost forgot we got Jean Grey coming out from mafex too

[@connoreagle6843]

I would love a nightcrawler fig from mafex! I loved this review; definitely gonna sub to this channel.

[@fiercekrypton]

I’m so down to replace all of my Jim Lee figs with Mafex figs as they trickle out. Hope they do sabertooth.

[@prescribeddrone]

This figure is great! Comic MAFEX stuff is so good that it's making me consider downsizing my MCU imports to have more space. But yeah, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Cable are some of my most wanted characters, cause Elf, Logan and Colossus are my fave X trio. Also, I'd go crazy if they make a classic 90's or mid 90's Deadpool... just something that's more universal.

[@Creukelen]

I hope they reveal more characters soon since we just got Magneto and Gambit. I’m looking forward to them completing the rest of the team.

[@stanfordfeynman2796]

And now the wait begins for the Ben Reilly figure lol. I'll still have to customize it to give it the comic-accurate paintjob under 90s Bagley (black base with blue highlights, both away from and on the logo). I tried it on my Marvel Legends Ben Reilly, and it looks SO MUCH BETTER. As for Gambit, I'm so tempted to buy this lmao

[@HighSchoolCreations]

Kevin Sydney from any company at this point. Great review

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Was he called that in the animated show? In any case, we need an animated series Morph!!!

[@HighSchoolCreations]

@@UnparalleledUniverse nah, I don’t think he was…just trying to be a cool kid

[@a-glowing-ghost2828]

A proper nightcrawler with 3 heads for each main era. A Dave Cockrum, Alan Davis, and a modern one. Liked Mayshelfs modern ML Nightcrawler head- but wanted the shadowy classic one too. Also more of an indigo dark navy for the skin. A key issue with the legends one is he stands too upright without the foot/toe articulation. He could really use drop down hips like beast got. My second pick would be Morph. But that would be an issue. I think there’s some rights issues with him. Surprised there hasn’t been army builders with the team blue and yellow uniform where you could just pop heads onto them. Would be awesome.

[@TheRealRobertBlarg]

Ordered him recently in part because of this review. Side note/question: what head is that for the Revotltech Cable? That's fantastic!! And was it made to fit on the Revoltech figure or did it require extra work to get it on?

[@caseysmith3329]

I totally agree a Mafex Nightcrawler (and even revoltech) would be amazing.

[@Chalor.]

For anyone that might not be a fan of the cloth trench coat (but why would you), I'm wondering if you can take Gambit's arms out and switch 'em with the Hush parts to have a plastic coat. And that one having the belt gives it a different style. But yeah, if those arms are compatible, I think it'd be a pretty damn cool alternate look.

[@benomsr2172]

I owned this figure since last week but came here to hear your opinion. Definitely the best Mafex X-men figure. I really wish for Mafex Rogue or Storm.

[@a-glowing-ghost2828]

My favorite too/most anticipated too. There’s a specific comic panel where Gambit is outside without his jacket smoking and talking to professor x. Look it up….the hair is pretty similar too. It’s the Andy Kubert era (post Jim Lee). Glad they got the Auburn/slight burgundy hair right. My only tiny complaint was the jacket not being slightly olive green-but that’s a personal choice. It varied often between khaki or olive- but never dark brown, same with the hair- a lot of the time it was the same color of brown used on Wolverines brown suit- definitely a reddish brown. Only other slight complaint is the effects not being very translucent. Curious how the Mezco ones look with the figure- though pretty sure they won’t attach. Prefer the look of those and how they pop. Love that sentinel photo. That’s my plan too 😎.

[@J_kid]

The armor color is what purple is really supposed to be. If you put a prismacolor marker purple and a pink. You would see the difference in what we are taught purple is and what actual purple is. Pink is not that deep a color. Even hot pink isn’t. Yeah I know this review is 2 years old. I just got into a mafex figures after having a bad experience with a Spider-Man figure from them but I tried a nightwing and now I’m hooked. I hope they reissue the reissue of this figure. I loved the introduction of Gambit.
