Once again, MAFEX shows why they're the best in the game right now at making action figures. This is thee Gambit figure I had in my brain since I was a kid buying the very 1st ToyBiz Gambit figure and being disappointed .
Their customer service and QC is pretty bad though. Bought several figures from them in the past and they all came with paint chips and flaws. Emailed them and they blew me off and told me I'm SOL. Had issues with other companies like Figma, and they replaced the defective part no questions asked and I didn't have to pay for shipping. MAFEX is overrated and I will never buy another figure from them again. Of course your experience and opinion will vary. This is my experience.
@@RepublicCommando140 yea marvel legends are built like tanks. I have tons of them as well and not one has been broken. Although sometimes I get the occasional poor paint. But it's a $20 figure not $100...
@@dennischen8887 They have become better and better over time, non of my MAFEX had any qc, but let me tell u, you are missing the definitive versions of this character over a bad experience
@@seventrue871 My experiences all happened recently with them. It's mainly their customer support practice and attitude that turned me off while other companies replaced defective parts no questions asked, and some even sent me a brand new figure for only a broken neck joint (Articulated Icons). I'm really happy with my Mezco Gambit and 2 ML Gambits, so I can do without this one to save the potential hassle or any QC issues..
Yeahhhh, you know what's crazy. We got a smiling mafex Homelander face first before a smiling mafex Superman one. That's pretty ridiculous lol. Hopefully the Mezco one will be as awesome as the promo pics since it has a smiling face.
I’ve had this in hand for a few days, and I already think this is the best Mafex figure to date. The coat is BY FAR the best soft goods item that Mafex has made
His coat is the only disappointing thing for me. I personally think their Peter B. Parker's coat and sweatpants are their best soft goods. And along with Peter, this Gambit and their Dark Knight Returns Triumphant, some of their best figures ever and some of the best figures overall of 2021. In terms of facial features, body proportions and accessories, this figure is definitely superior to the Marvel Legends, Revoltech and Mezco, as the best 1/12 Gambit ever.
@@aaroneaston8899 I have had my Mafex Gambit 2 weeks now and take it back. You have to get it in hand to appreciate it. The coat is actually very good. Not only the best Mafex figure ever, but the best 1/12 scale figure of 2021.
Gambit holds a very special place in my life, so watching this was AMAZING, you do him justice and for that I thank you, I'm hoping this guy arrives in time for my bday, last yr was the mezco gambit this yr mafex (fingers crossed), very dope review and again thank you
As always, the photography at the end is amazing. Really shows what this figure can do and the work you put in setting up those shots really comes through. Thanks for the great review. This is a definite must-buy for me after seeing it in action. Gotta have that Gambit on the X-men shelf!
Jim Lee designed Gambits costume- he’s the co creator with Claremont 🙂. The hair does seems to be leaning more towards the Andy Kubert run that followed right after. Good stuff!
While you're not wrong that such coats have a belt, Remy was always depicted without one - I guess (ignoring the coat all together) it could tangle up when he does his stuff. Since they already anounced Jean Grey I would really be astonished if they gave us her but not Rogue.
Yeah, it's a nice addition. I'm less fussed about the massive effects due to the weight and as they're pretty much the same - think I'd have preferred more smaller card options, but it's a small gripe
I've yet to get a Mafex figure, but I love how they do highly comic specific looks. The X-Men Jim Lee, Batman Jim Lee. The Carnage and Venom figures and accessories are straight out of particular McFarlene panels. My dream would be Mafex Giant Size X-Men Colossus, Storm, but I would pay big bucks for a NIghtcrawler
Now Mafex have shown they're doing classic designs with the introduction of their Iron Man figure, a Romita Sr. Doctor Doom figure done with a wired soft cloth green hooded cloak would make my head explode.
@@cookedit I just pre-ordered that Iron Man today after some contemplation. I would be in for a Doctor Doom. A Silver Surfer would melt my mind, lol. A classic Captain America would also be welcome.
Coat looks like it is imitating a Cashmere material, not a water repeling Trench coat or even a leather one. A different choice in material would have went a long way. The figure under the coat is great though not enough for me to buy it.
Mafex the best especially the figure they are gonna release next month. Ofc they are without their Qc but they have improve tremendously. Magneto was awesome and so as gambit
Yo D can you tell me what your army building formula is? I know there's a price point involved but what is a good number per character without being excessive or even being excessive cuz that's what us collectors are anyway.
Love the review, anyone know any reputable places to buy this from BBTS seems to be sold out, is this an item that may restock a later date or just submit to scalpers on ebay and roll the dice? any reputable ebay sellers would be greatly appreciated.
Which figure is better; Mezco Gambit or Mafex? How's the joint feel like, a bit loose or just nice? My DC Justice Leagues mafex's joint, a bit disappointing. That's why I'm kinda worried about Mafex figures.
I have a few mafex figures for the most part they are pretty smooth joint wise. I do own the mezco gambit and it’s amazing I feel like the joints on mezco gambit are bit more sturdier just a tad bit. This mafex one looks awesome but I’ll stay with my mezco one!
@@Dreyz-pg2zz Qc and constant delays is all that keeps Mafex from being near the top. They know exactly what iconic character designs the public wants. It's just for every Gambit and Batman Triumphant (both almost perfection) we also get a Blue Batman Hush and tiger stripe Wolverine (both with little qc issues that are inexcusable at their price).
Once again, MAFEX shows why they're the best in the game right now at making action figures. This is thee Gambit figure I had in my brain since I was a kid buying the very 1st ToyBiz Gambit figure and being disappointed .
A Japanese company knowing exactly what American fans want! No trying to push stylized versions!

This is a GORGEOUS figure. Easily Medicom's best work in the X-Men lineup so far. Mine is supposed to show up tomorrow, and I couldn't be happier.

I need mafex to do a night crawler
I work overnight in a gas station. I thought those cops were by me lol. Great review

I’m in love! Great shots as always and I’m extra hyped to receive mine this week
great review and even better shots at the end, King!!! Thanks for this!!!! The toy community appreciates you!
Great photo shoot at the end. It was awesome to see this figure pull off such amazing poses.
BEST REVIEW EVER. all those comparisons at the end was amazing. Awesome figure!
OMG! been waiting for this! My dude, you're on fire this month!
Gambit is one of those figures I didn't know I needed! But I do now! Another awesome review D! 🤙🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Looks like this figure is indeed for everyone, it is sold out everywhere :c
Loved the shots at the end
Jim Lee designed Gambits costume- he’s the co creator with Claremont 🙂. The hair does seems to be leaning more towards the Andy Kubert run that followed right after. Good stuff!
2:20 bending trench coat upwards was so amazing it gave someone a heart attack
💯
I have Mezco's (Looks) and Yamaguchi's (Articulation), so of course I bought the middle child: Mafex's
This Gambit is totally awesome, Bro. Great review as always.
Great vid Gambit has been killing it lately in the toy department. Can't wait for the 1/6 scale figures to start dropping.
Such a great looking figure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 , the pics at the end are Amazing as always bro 🙌🏾🙌🏾
This figure came out fantastic. Mafex kills it once again.
The huge effects were done perfectly.
Great review as always!! Drinking my water right now lol
Bro I’m hyped for this!
This honestly may be my first Mafex marvel figure because damn this is good!!!
Great review. I'm excited for mine!
Dope content as usual
Home run!!
Love Stands for the FX!

I never thought 6 inch figs would ever be worth 100 plus $. My mind has changed
Finally, bruh!👊🏻
I don't know which one is cooler, the figure or your background...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
I'm in Queens, and I legit thought something happened outside my window when I heard the ambulance.
Damn looking so good!!
I’m here for the photos with the damazing theme lol
Amazing review! I Just have to knew the ñame of the track at the and of the review
I am a bit iffy on soft goods on toys. Saw a guy put the Hush mafex guys plastic coat on the Gambit body and it looks amazing
Can’t wait till mine comes!!!! argh!
Very cool figure.
Best Gambite on market i guess.
Slept on this figure hopefully my local shop will have extras
Damn those joint move smooth
I pre order mine, i can't wait to get it in hand🤩

Love the video
When I heard the background noise in your video I thought that plane was passing outside my house
this is Awesome! all i need is this gambit!
Wow what a masterpiece!
The 90s designs are the best
Dope review 🔥🔪
Good Thing Your Wrist Peg Didn't Break!
Also We Are Getting a MEZCO RUMBLE SCOCIETY CAPTAIN NEMO HE'LL BE GREAT NEXT TO BARRON BENDS!!
Mafex the best especially the figure they are gonna release next month. Ofc they are without their Qc but they have improve tremendously. Magneto was awesome and so as gambit
This is a must have fig!!!
Amazing background noise. It goes with Gambit.
Great review as always! Hope Mafex makes a Doctor Doom, Spiderman 2099, Green Goblin, and a Raimi Spidey next year 🤞
Well it's been a year and none of that has happened unfortunately
@@antitatr7438 Yeah…Mafex takes like 5 years to make one figure unfortunately.
@@chimichangatakeout3551 mezco did come out with a dr doom but it doesn't release till like sometime next year (maybe)
Nice video.
I likely won't be able to get this figure at this point but he looks very good. I was cautious ever since finding out about Wolverine and Cyclops.
Yeah that was great with the Contra code LOL
Mafex kills it again.
Best figure of the year for my opinion
I really like this gambit, but am I the only one that prefers the mezco version?
Looks so damn good wtfffff
Yo D can you tell me what your army building formula is? I know there's a price point involved but what is a good number per character without being excessive or even being excessive cuz that's what us collectors are anyway.
You also have a paint chip on his left boot, inner part, on the calf muscle.
Nice action photos, the soft good trench coat helps acba photographers recreate iconic moments..plastic coat gambits out there can't do that 😉
Waiting for mine to be shipped
This deadass makes the Revoltech Gambit so obsolete.
Exactly, mine has fallen apart so many times...
That’s a really niiiice fig
i just got him yesterday and hes awsome but one thing that really triggers my ocd is that his lower leg is twice as long as his upper leg
My mvc2 collection is growing. Next I might get megaman. I don't know which one.
This is easily in top ten of the year category and might be mafex best
Love the review, anyone know any reputable places to buy this from BBTS seems to be sold out, is this an item that may restock a later date or just submit to scalpers on ebay and roll the dice? any reputable ebay sellers would be greatly appreciated.
Nice
Gorgeus
Gotta find some tiny cards like that
That's dope ♠️♥️♦️♣️
It will be even better if his coat made from the same material like the one mezco use
Omg.. 😱😱
Less go
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is where my 13th month pay/bonus going to go...
I wonder why the scale is off with Mafex's Cyclops

W gambit
#ProtectDAmazing! lol
How you get so fast
Which would you recommend, the mezco version or this one?
Mafex 100%
I love this line from MAFEX. Amazing action figures.
I like it when soft goods are added to non-soft good toylines.
You think Mafex is up there with Storm Collecibles?
Yeah their both imports so pretty high end just mafex can have more qc issues
@@Dreyz-pg2zz Qc and constant delays is all that keeps Mafex from being near the top. They know exactly what iconic character designs the public wants.

Mafex need working out with their production capacity and qc. So people do not need waiting like twi years with possibility get defected items.
Ok so everyones LC white ranger head is loose, so its not just mine i see lol
Bro I need this fig right now somebody send me a link
Jacket/trenchcoat name weirdo gang where y'all at?! 😂😂😂
Cajun strike
Wish he was a little more slender and taller. Other then that great figure
How do you not even compare this to the Marvel Legends Gambit???
Marvel Legends Gambit is utter trash compared to this.
