@@tyestancil2783 man, what are you talking about? better job making weird proportions, giving us a poor product with a lot of problems in all senses. By accepting those issues it´s why they don´t care about customers, they know people will buy it anyway and say ''it´s ok, you can´t ask more for 20 bucks'' and they can really do better than that, do not be conformist
I like him and I can look past some of the flaws you mentioned mostly because I really like the character so it's not going to bother me as much. I also just started collecting, he is my 3rd figure. I also have the six arm spiderman and Endgame Captain America with mjolnir. I am hoping to get the entire BAF with Caliban because he is one of my favorite characters and I also want the entire molten man BAF set as well.
Great, honest review. Who sculpted Gambit? Looks very similar to Cable (Juggy wave), Hyperion (hit monkey wave), Luke Cage (SDCC), Captain America (Onslaught Wave), Emma Frost(upcoming Black suit), Sabretooth (Apocalypse Wave), Gladiator (Apocalypse wave). All these heads have the same issue...flat faces, Eyes too far apart, huge jaws,, bulbous nose, angular face. They all look like island Tiki heads. Is there any way to find out the sculptors at Hasbro?
Thanks. Only by chance. Some of the contract sculptors are on ig though. Wouldn't know the names off hand. But you are right. There are a bunch of heads which all have the same problems.
Ok so I just got mine yesterday and I have not put him down, plan to build an army no joke,..but down to business, I did customized mine already, painted the black on the knees and it looks much better(subtle but better), I also add details to his gloves, painting thumb ring like the actual costume, hard to explain but look up the real cosplay gloves, real easy and looks awesome, and last I used exacto knife to sculpt playing cards effect, lightly tho and helps capture light still, I understand ur grips but this figure is why I collect, simple yet amazing,..also I have taken extra hands I had and painted them so now he punches, dope, thanks for ur vid
Yeah, I agree. I just received mine and the first thing I’ve noticed was his legs. I’m slightly disappointed as well, and I was really wanting this to be a great figure.
I was super excited for this figure but god... that's a lot of issues. I have it pre-ordered on amazon for a release in July because buying it for 30-40 bucks is ridiculous. Might just get the original new for that price
Well gambit doesn’t have a BaF piece so that already should’ve been the warning for you that they didn’t care how this figure came out as long as it wasn’t skinny and floppy like the old one. I just really miss that cloth jacket the original had
Anthony do you think the marvel select gambit head would work as a swap with this or would it be way too big? Do the pegs somewhat relate in size to where it would be possible? Nice, honest review man, thanks.
You may not know this but sometimes when I want to get a figure I always rely on you and for me Gambit is my all-time favorite X-Men characters. In conclusion great review and it tells me not to get this figure anytime soon until another company Does it Better.
I respect Anthony’s objected reviews. He is one of the better reviewers out there the truly understands anatomy and points out things that the average untrained eye can’t. For that reason I enjoy and appreciate his reviews s. Personally I’m okay with this Gambit. It’s not perfect but it’s a pretty good Gambit. The only think that annoys the hell out of me is that damn jacket. It so damn overused. I ended up repainting mine and now more happy with it. Just need a customer soft goods coat and he will be good to go.
It's not a perfect figure, I really hate the hair. But it's still the best Gambit figure we've ever gotten. If you have the Marvel Select figure, the accessories for that make this figure look even better.
But I think he’s throwing the cards from a left to right direction which I think is what Hasbro is implying, with the swoosh effect. So physics wise the energy effect would be thicker on the right as well. The phallic effect does look, well phallic lol. I can forgive all the weaknesses though because It’s aesthetics, all the articulations are there, and it’s Gambit. The overall look of the figure still looks cool to me.
The swoosh effect should originate from the hand so it doesn't make sense regardless of which direction he is throwing from since the hand is in the center of the effect.
I wasn't talking about the thickness. I said it goes past the hand. But yes, it's from left to right...yet the cards themselves are oriented as if being thrown from right to left.
I could not get myself excited about this figure since it was 1st revealed, because something just looked off about him. I love Gambit as well, but man is this disappointing. How do you mess up Gambit, Hasbro?!? How?? Look at his face! Who the hell is that? Not only does it not look like Gambit, but it's just straight up ugly and looks sloppy. I thought the coat would hinder his leg articulation, but it seems like that's not the case, so that's a plus at least. I'll probably still get it, because it's Gambit and there aren't any better alternatives, unfortunately. Though the Revoltech Gambit, even with it's knockoff-style quality control issues, is starting to look more appealing. Anyways, great review and entertaining as always! I genuinely laughed out loud when you went into the phallic effect piece bit.. come on Hasbro! 😂
You just stabbed the one who designed Gambit through his heart a number of times😂😂😂. You're right, despite Gambit's issues I'm still keeping him, cause he's Gambit, that's the only reason.
My favorite xmen has always been gambit and wolverine. I have both wolverine figures and have this gambit figure preordered, but my question to you Anothy is, if money wasn't a problem would you prefer the Hasbro gambit or the revoltech Gambit? For me they're about even one plus and minus. Air that's why I'm asking you or anyone here that has both.
I saw him at Walmart this morning; couldn't do it... couldn't buy him. The Marvel Select is SO much better in every way. He's just a little bit taller. Just put him in an action pose and deal with it.
I think this figure is flawless expect the left leg felt loose the bo staff is long and fits well in hand I agree the extra hand is pretty lame but overall it's a great figure easily one of my favorites
A lot of the problems are minor for me... but the head thing is a pretty big bummer. You're right that I will be getting this because it's Gambit. Which sucks but this is my only option within my budget :/
Maybe Mafex will do a Gambit if the sales of Wolverine and Cyclops are good
Well, This aged well
I have been watching your reviews. And in this review, u really address Hasbro on all problems. Like wtf are u doing Hasbro??? 😂😂😂

I just got mine and I think it's an amazing figure. With the right pose it can really stick out in a crowd. 9/10 for me
It's another one of these figs that Hasbro knows people will buy regardless, so they dont put any effort at all I to it. Disappointing.
I salute you sir for your honesty about this figure. It does look weird especially on the head sculpt. Like wtf hasbro🤦♂️
I'm just gonna patiently await the Mezco Gambit.
Brandon Stewart I picked this figure up today but I hope mezco can make our gambit dreams come true lol.
Did you get the Mezco gambit?
@@ConorB1 I did. And I love it.

Don't even start on the headsculpt. It looks like a damn pineapple. Spongebob lives there 😂😂😂

yeah. it's a bummer.
I don't have a Gambit in my collection so this will be good enough, after I upgrade this with the coat from the mezco Old Man Logan.
I was super excited for this figure but god... that's a lot of issues. I have it pre-ordered on amazon for a release in July because buying it for 30-40 bucks is ridiculous. Might just get the original new for that price
Game stop has them now
Do you plan to make a custom Gambit head like you did for Wolverine? The one that's closer to the old cartoon...
Would definitely purchase
Only if someone commisions it.
Thought about it. I might.
@@AnthonysCustoms nice! Can't wait!
Great review! I’m honestly just going to keep my Diamond Select Gambit. Still my favorite as of today, can’t wait to see Mezco’s One 12 Gambit
Wow...salute for your review sir...very honest. HASBRO, PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!
Well gambit doesn’t have a BaF piece so that already should’ve been the warning for you that they didn’t care how this figure came out as long as it wasn’t skinny and floppy like the old one. I just really miss that cloth jacket the original had
I'm just gonna use the throwing cards that came with the marvel select Gambit for this one
It actually looks pretty good
Yeah. Same here. Good thing it came with an extra set of cards.
Anthony do you think the marvel select gambit head would work as a swap with this or would it be way too big? Do the pegs somewhat relate in size to where it would be possible? Nice, honest review man, thanks.
probably way too big
You may not know this but sometimes when I want to get a figure I always rely on you and for me Gambit is my all-time favorite X-Men characters.
In conclusion great review and it tells me not to get this figure anytime soon until another company Does it Better.
Or, get it and buy the head I'm going to be selling for it. :)
@@AnthonysCustoms Ayyyy forget about that
I know you have the Overwatch Figmas, but do you intend to check out the Hasbro offerings?
Already have them filmed
The face sculpt in this one looks like Benedict Cumberbatch.

Disapointing, for me, maybe the Mezco one will be the best (in case MAFEX never release one)
Ill buy it for a place holder for the new mezco gambit!
It's not a perfect figure, I really hate the hair. But it's still the best Gambit figure we've ever gotten. If you have the Marvel Select figure, the accessories for that make this figure look even better.

I'm so excited for this gambit.... so so excited
Great review, do you plan on reviewing the Weapon X from the same set soon?
Yes
I could not get myself excited about this figure since it was 1st revealed, because something just looked off about him.
I love Gambit as well, but man is this disappointing.
How do you mess up Gambit, Hasbro?!? How??

I made a custom gamit and i hope the head i made on mine fits on him when i get him
Are his boots a reuse of Angela's?
His ass backwards effects hand reminds me of the Captain America shield effect. Has anyone at Hasbro ever read a comic before?
or looked up an image or used common sense.
Hey every one i have a question do you have to bake super sculpy
Found the wave this morning here in Ga at Walmart, only Beast was missing. My first Gambit figure in my collection so it’s cool
Me too just missing jubilee.
Found another today on the pegs by himself, so now I can open one keep the other boxed
Hasbro must’ve hired someone high on drugs
I will cut the tip off that throwing card
Is that articualtion problem for his head common?
Very likely. Every hyperion mold figure has that issue as well.
You just haaad to point out the head thing. I didn't notice that. You're good at saving me money.
It's my curse.
Dat phallic swoosh.
Awsome Action Figure review
Anthony why did you not review Hercules ? You reviewed all the others In that wave .
I didn't not review it. I published more important videos first. Please stop spamming about Hercules in every other video.
It seemed more like a 6, with all the things you pointed out
I think the figure looks good, Its the only good gambit figure i can afford! But I do agree with the proportions being strange.
Oh yeah, the cards look like shit.
Is the head just a retool of multiple man?
It's likely that most of the heads are all resculpted from one original head.
I think this figure is flawless expect the left leg felt loose the bo staff is long and fits well in hand I agree the extra hand is pretty lame but overall it's a great figure easily one of my favorites
A lot of the problems are minor for me... but the head thing is a pretty big bummer. You're right that I will be getting this because it's Gambit. Which sucks but this is my only option within my budget :/
It looks like it have two right boots.
I love the marvel legends Gambit.
Same, but it has problem...
Even for 20 bucks it's kind of garbage, it has too many issues.
I didn't know they had a marvel legends figure
Its almost like hasbro dont give a shit. Oh wait they don't
i think you should apply at hasbro
Goooooood morning!
Gambit legs are slender that why he’s so kinetic fast
Kinetic fast?
I come for the reviews, stay for the salt in the comment section.
hasbro gonna hasbro. fanboys gonna fanboy.
I dont get the complains, it's a great gambit figure
I literally explained everything in the review.
@@AnthonysCustoms yeah but i find you are hard on this one
Just objective as always. You can choose to ignore the things but i can't. It's my job to show them.
Cool
Hasbro is gonna hasbro. Im still gonna get it. They are still going to make money from it. And no one learns their lesson. Lol
I wanted a Gambit figure so bad I forced myself to overlook the glaring flaws of Marvel Legends' Gambit figure. But I get what I paid for.
hasbros the best
very generous, this figure is crap, 5 / 10
I don't like the hair style
Can I have goku and vegtea to please
Yeah sure
That head is terrible
Can I have gambit please
You literally have really bad judgment for muscular legs you’re probably out of shape
Wtf does that have to do with a shit figure
@schwiggity Also Anthony doesn't look out of shape
I could be a 500 pound jelly roll and I'd still know what human anatomy is... Adding "literally" to a dumb sentence doesn't make it smarter.
@@AnthonysCustoms You're right it does literally nothing to the intelligence of one's sentence.
AnthonysCustoms the only thing dumb is your judgement on musculature on a human body
The head kills it for me. Trying to figure out if it's worth resculpting the entire skull and hair
Joe Serrano *spoiler alert* it’s not
