- 'I'm definitely going to add it with Storm, but I didn't do any photos with Storm because this Storm is not the one that matches the 90s one and I would have never heard the end of it' - places Rogue. :P
I'm that kind of person who ALWAYS call people by other people's names. I remember the day I was talking to a collegue, in person, and I called her Paula three or four times during the conversation. It was only later that day I realized her actual name was Gisele. LOL
I REALLY enjoyed this review! You really sounded like you were having fun with this figure and reviewing it. Gambit is the figure that I've been really looking forward to as he is my favorite X-men and I am not at all disappointed! I appreciate the effort you put in your reviews - informative and great pics! Thank you!!
Man, gotta say it, I have watched every review on this dude thats been put up on youtube so far, and thank you for being the one to step up and pop that chest armor off so we can check out whats going on under there. Much respect.
Man D! you are like the friend who got the figure first in the block, n’ here we are all other guys asking you: hey, the figure can do this? Can do that? And you are doing it for us. You are not just informative, you are the good friend who we can talk about action figures and stuff. Greetings from Mexico, gracias amigo!
Great review. Awesome figure and I like how you focused on all of the positives instead of harping on the ab crunch. I'll give you a pass on calling Rogue Storm 52 times. 🤣
Thanks for popping off the armor. I was tempted to do it but I only have one of them. If I get a second one I might take off the cloth on the entire upper body to see if that will allow him to crunch forward. If it’s a significant crunch forward, I might attempt to customize the armor with the crunch.
Oh no! Now I'm torn! I _really_ love the look on this figure and I honestly think that the arm, leg and ankle articulation is good enough to pose him up well. Also the effects pieces are amazing. But he doesn't scale at all well with 1000Toys figures, which are my main collection. Cable is not a problem because he looks like a tank. I'll wait until the Mafex comes out and check the reviews to see if he's any good scale-wise. If not then I'll definitely get this guy anyway! Thanks so much for the review and the comparison without the armour. Entertaining and informative! I was genuinely surprised to see that you replied to some RUclips comments, that's really cool.
Great review D. Love Gambit even without the armor. It's like a stealth look. Cool possibility. You didn't help me make my choice but you sure as hell reinforced it. So glad I've had this preordered. Mezco crushed it. Will look good with the Logan figure. Keep up the amazing work. Big fan brotha! You meant Rogue though lol. Not storm. Man I hope mezco does a Rogue on her own buck.
Easily the best 1/12 Gambit yet! I don't mind the armor restrictions. It doesn't bother me on the MDX Blade, and an easy trade for the look on this one too. Excellent review, D!
Definitely getting the mafex version as well despite their history with broken figures. They also announced mafex Psylocke. Pretty sure there's gonna be more X-men line in the future.
I remember I used to have that old school Marvel Legends Gambit. That thing was a freaking awesome toy. Not the biggest Gambit fan but this thing looks insane
Im so happy. I was able to find this one for retail a few days ago. I already have Marvel Legends, Yamaguchi, and have Mafex preordered, but I'm looking forward to this more than anything I own already or have preordered.
Awesome pics and review! Loving mine and I still had to watch your review of this fig. Also , I’m getting Johnny Depp vibes for the head sculpt. Was able to put the single card effect on my marvel legends as the hand slides out and the ML one slides right in perfectly!
JD should have tried on more cajun characters, come to think of it. I bet he would have been a better fit for Louie in Interview With The Vampire for sure.
This Gambit figure is gorgeous. It looks exactly like what I would think of as a classic Gambit, but informed by modern design fundamentals without betraying the original aesthetic. It's all of the flair of a classic comic design without any of the goofiness. That's really hard to do, and Mezco nails it almost every time. They should be designing on-screen suits for movies.
This figure looks very good. The face seems to be inspired by Andy Kubert (? -I get the 2 brothers confused) comics. The wired coat is amazing. Great video.
One of the things I love about your videos is you don't have some silly intro. Just straight to the video. Also little to no ads! I have no interest in this figure but I did enjoy your review like all your videos.
From my soul I thank you for that photo session, and I'm not gonna lie, ima bite off your style a bit when I get my mafex, cause this gambit session you just dropped kineticly charged my creative side like a "52card pick up"
Damn that’s sexy. It always looked like he’d be great but I held off in anticipation of Mafex announcing one- which they did. I kind of want to get one just to customise the armour and bring out the articulation. Hard to believe that finding a way a split that piece was beyond Mezco or just deemed not worth the effort.
I've pre ordered this...I also own a mezco diabolik so I'm going to put the gambit head on the diabolik body and put the trench coat on...give him more of a thief look see if it looks good.
Looks great but im not a huge gambit fan...... But all i can say.... It's a perfect gambit the look the face the eyes the suit the jacket? All of he's body and armor is just gambitly...... Nice....
Great review , i cut my Thor & aquaman between the torso & the belt ... i will do the same on my gambit when it arrives ... its so much better , yu take off the torso bit , then work out where to cut with a sharp modelling knife ... cut around the muscles or lines , then go along the cut with a black marker pen . There is a review how to do this on aquaman on youtube ... just be careful & take yur time ....
You do NOT get a swivel at the top of the boot. It feels like you do, and thats what I thought, but I wound up breaking the entire boot clean off his leg attempting to move it. It's glued in there with a keyed peg, much like the Apocalypse wave Storm. Was easy enough to fix, but just thought I'd warn you before you potentially break yours like I did mine.
Also this gambit goes with the new rogue just fine ..you have the marvel app for comics? Remember the pic they used during valentines day? Ever read the marvel legacy comics? Yea its not jim Lee rogue but gambit has been pictured with rogue in many diff outfits
D im sorry but there is 0 ab cruch without the vest, im not sure why you said you just cant notice it lol . Yes it goes back but not forward. There is no reason for anyone to cut it unless they prefer the look. This figure is not for me but i love your reviews. Im just questioning why u said there was crunch when there isnt haha
Without the vest, it reminds me of his X-Treme X-men look he had in the early '00s. images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/41500000/X-Treme-X-Men-6-gambit-41525438-462-1029.jpg
To each their own but I can't let reviewers sell me on figures. Some of these guys like all these figures no matter how wack they are. I just check em out cause they're kinda informative. But me personally I bust these figures down just to have my own take on their view. And truthfully when I'm done the figure(s) end up as something totally off the beaten path. But that's just me. And damn Storm got whitewashed.
Gotta do what works for you. That’s the point of the toys. Some people gonna be some people ain’t we are in the golden age of variety. As long as you ain’t knocking what people enjoy. More power to ya!
No question I like action figures no doubt but customizing is like a drug to me. Way way way too much fun on that tip. But brother please ask mezco what's up with the sausage fest. And why they shit so tough on the female figures. I mean I dig the males but the female figures are just as important. We both know there's female collectors out here that really don't mind the male figures. But me personally just as in real time. I love ladies. So please please please a hundred thousand times please politic that for us my brother. Hotep.
Unfortunately i don’t have any control over any of that process. In terms of that I’m a fan just like y’all. I just constantly have privilege of being able to collaborate with them on projects. There are changes i would like to see too. But i don’t work there. But I’ll do what i can on my part.
Oh shoot just remembered. You did sale me on Diabolik and some Storm Collectibles cause them figures never came across my radar. So I retract that statement. Also I may come off as knocking don't mean to. But not you some other chaps influenced me on some other figures and I got played. They didn't go in like you do. So I had to excuse them other reviewers on that. But like you said when the thought path is made up. That figure(s) is in or out. Just trying to push other a-alikes to demand more. Especially when it comes to Gomez and the Golden Skull type figures. No diss but less Batman and more of the Gomez line for us all. Also you didn't take a L removing Gamit's vest. That's pretty much your job as a reviewer. Keep going in as long as you have an extra though. Hotep brother.
- 'I'm definitely going to add it with Storm, but I didn't do any photos with Storm because this Storm is not the one that matches the 90s one and I would have never heard the end of it'
- places Rogue.
:P
Lol I don’t know how he made that mistake
shit almost gave me a stroke lmao
I'm that kind of person who ALWAYS call people by other people's names. I remember the day I was talking to a collegue, in person, and I called her Paula three or four times during the conversation. It was only later that day I realized her actual name was Gisele. LOL

Man thank you for this review it’s all a person preference, mine will be in tomorrow so I can’t wait to add him in with my X-men display!

I was going to buy the mafex but you just sold me on this one.
They mafex would have been 6 months after release date
Lol, I didn't even know mafex was making a Gambit
Getting both!😂
Eh, if I can get him cheaper I’ll grab him, looks good, but that ab crunch kills it
Definitely getting the mafex version as well despite their history with broken figures. They also announced mafex Psylocke. Pretty sure there's gonna be more X-men line in the future.
Another amazing review! God bless you and yours
This figure is a pure work of art! Damn beautiful in every sense of the word.
I remember I used to have that old school Marvel Legends Gambit. That thing was a freaking awesome toy. Not the biggest Gambit fan but this thing looks insane
This figure is in my top 10 for the year so far. Thanks for the review sir.
Im so happy. I was able to find this one for retail a few days ago. I already have Marvel Legends, Yamaguchi, and have Mafex preordered, but I'm looking forward to this more than anything I own already or have preordered.

Mezco should focus more on making "comic accurate" figures like this, this is straight 🔥! Been waiting on your review on this, D.
Hoping they do new Superman.
Official! Mine is coming in next week and I'm definitely going to use that trenchcoat on the Mafex Gambit once it drops.
Same man, the Mafex jacket doesnt look so great. Ima have to get a third party coat for my Mafex for the shelf, and borrow the Mezco one for photos.
This Gambit figure is gorgeous. It looks exactly like what I would think of as a classic Gambit, but informed by modern design fundamentals without betraying the original aesthetic. It's all of the flair of a classic comic design without any of the goofiness. That's really hard to do, and Mezco nails it almost every time. They should be designing on-screen suits for movies.
I been waiting for this
Thanks for keeping us informed 😂 great review
Liked! My boy Gumbo looks amazing! I may have to get him if I see him in a collector store.
Nice review. Great posing as always
This figure looks very good. The face seems to be inspired by Andy Kubert (? -I get the 2 brothers confused) comics. The wired coat is amazing. Great video.
I'm late to the party but a fantastic review. You sound like you're having fun.
Hey.... Tnx for the review on cable px..... I love the figure.... I've got mine that forth week..... Godbless you D
This is what I want out of live action Gambit if that ever comes. The thumbnail for this video is probably better than anything we'll ever see.
One of the things I love about your videos is you don't have some silly intro. Just straight to the video. Also little to no ads!
I have no interest in this figure but I did enjoy your review like all your videos.
Remey like it when u do there nice catch phrase
great review and great figure, thank you
Might be the best head sculpt I’ve ever seen on a Mezco 1:12
I’m totally gonna get this
What characters do you think I can custom using this body?
Thank you for sharing,now i want one 🤣🤣👍💪
Awzum! One of my fave superheroes 😎👏
Love the stalking Grogu next to the trash container. He seems to be wondering what powers does Gambit have.
Wow nice review!
From my soul I thank you for that photo session, and I'm not gonna lie, ima bite off your style a bit when I get my mafex, cause this gambit session you just dropped kineticly charged my creative side like a "52card pick up"
may I know where did you make your headsculpt from? on the 14:11 on the video gomez body... very much appreciate for your reply... thank you
How were you able to remove the armor vest without appearing to damage it?
Yep going get him he look awesome
OMg that samurai outfit on the Storm skeleton looked soooo cool! where did you get it? did you make it?
That armour is lush. Nice looking figure fingers crossed folk are happy with their choice.
Mine is coming in tomorrow. If you like Gambit, the Soosoo Toys Gambit is amazing.
Nice review
Damn that’s sexy. It always looked like he’d be great but I held off in anticipation of Mafex announcing one- which they did. I kind of want to get one just to customise the armour and bring out the articulation. Hard to believe that finding a way a split that piece was beyond Mezco or just deemed not worth the effort.
I been waiting for your review bro... i need to know if I should grab it or not
Where do you get your diorama?
Gambit is my top favorite xmen hero....wish to see him back on movie
I was expecting you to do his Royal Flash pose
Runnin around here with extra Gambits n stuff :)
I wonder if there is a possibility of a Mafex 90s Rogue?
I've pre ordered this...I also own a mezco diabolik so I'm going to put the gambit head on the diabolik body and put the trench coat on...give him more of a thief look see if it looks good.
It’s Rogue not Storm😁 but understandable it happens to me too mixing up toy companies in my vids😂
I wasn't planning on getting this guy and just waiting for the mafex but then of course for some reason I click on this video and now he's a need
was it Storm or Rogue?
Gambit mezco looks awesome
i like gambit and all but where the eff is my Black Bolt and Lock Jaw...?
Looks great but im not a huge gambit fan...... But all i can say.... It's a perfect gambit the look the face the eyes the suit the jacket? All of he's body and armor is just gambitly...... Nice....
This looks so fucking dope!
Great review , i cut my Thor & aquaman between the torso & the belt ... i will do the same on my gambit when it arrives ... its so much better , yu take off the torso bit , then work out where to cut with a sharp modelling knife ... cut around the muscles or lines , then go along the cut with a black marker pen . There is a review how to do this on aquaman on youtube ... just be careful & take yur time ....
Nice review sir :)
by the way If you guys like articulation like me, go buy the yamaguchi version..
Gumbo' lookin good. Shame about the articulation though, you actually can have both.. mezco needs to make some changes.
This the 2nd best 1/12 scale gambit, next to the Mafex Gambit
That hair gel is called the power of the pen
You're right. I'm pissed about articulation. Lol. But! He is pretty.
In my opinion it needed the ab crunch he's a master thief and does a lot of kicks
Ah when is star lord coming. That would be a great figure
I skipped everyone else’s reviews, on gambit, just to see D’s first.
Yeah, to me his head sculpt definitely looks better than the Marvel Legend's one.
My Deathstroke be using Remi's staff.
Forwards to an Enema!

That green suited female one was rogue actually
Never Stop Collecting🤑
Correction Rogue not storm !
Hey i fucked up. Lemme slide this one time 😭😫
Slide to the left 🤣
13:10 this storm? You mean Rogue right?
You called rogue storm... watch out for the nerds lol
I like his hair more than the ML one.
The Marvel Legends ones hair was aweful.
Still waiting for my PO from BBTS
The face kind of reminds me of Iwan Rheon
I never got the impression that his coat was leather.
Why would they use that cloth type for the jacket. There were so many better options for that material.
Rogue playa, ROGUE!! 🤣😂
Did you just call rouge, storm?
D im sorry but there is 0 ab cruch without the vest, im not sure why you said you just cant notice it lol . Yes it goes back but not forward. There is no reason for anyone to cut it unless they prefer the look.
This figure is not for me but i love your reviews. Im just questioning why u said there was crunch when there isnt haha
If it can crunch forward there is ab crunch. If you don’t like how much it is. You can’t blame me for that.
@@DAmazing i blame you then i guess 🤣 im just saying i did not see any.
Lmao
ML wolverine has the best scale so far. Idk why these companies make him so gigantic all the time.
Bro, that is not Storm..right?
Without the vest, it reminds me of his X-Treme X-men look he had in the early '00s.
images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/41500000/X-Treme-X-Men-6-gambit-41525438-462-1029.jpg
mezco needs to give their figures torso articulation, that's the only drawback
Some of them have great torso articulation. Green Lanturn and Batman Ascending off the top of my head
Awesome figure but that coat will eventually flake as heck
Ppl who say nice vid haven’t even watched yet, but I know it will be a good vid
Rogue, Storm, all you mutants look alike.
Storm
Actually Remy is ambidextrous.
