This statue/pose really shows how agile this character is. The colors are so vibrant and the energized cards are absolute show-stoppers! Great vid, Gem!
You had the exact same criticisms as me, I think the wave look like a Barbie accessory with the silver splatters on clear pink plastic, and YES! The sheen on the base shows me they sprayed the clear coat either in a cold environment and it didn’t cure properly or it wasn’t mixed before they sprayed it down
Card Affect goes to SS, Display-ability goes to XM, Paint & Sculpt are pretty equal. I think the advantage of XM is it can pair better with other pieces were SS is really meant for that specific line. XM I think has the slight edge for me. Both winners though.
Wow best part of the video is on 12:51 when both Gambit and Rogue are paired together. Like you seeing a Danger Room action over there..Love it!! Astig!!
I'm very pleased with the SS Gambit. I love his dynamic pose and it does pair much better with my Rogue. I love the exclusive portrait with the toothpick best.
My favorite X-Men character by far. I can’t really pick which ones I like the most. Which is a good thing. Both are unique in their own right. The toothpick portrait is 🔥 Can’t wait to receive both.
Brooo. Beautiful! I cant wait to sell all my diamond select gallery statues and start getting sideshow pieces instead!! Thats 2 statues ive seen already that are out of this world. Omega red and Gambit!! Awesome sculpts.
I love this this statue more than the previous one, the colours are so vibrant it's beautiful to look at. When you did a close up of the head sculpt from a certain angel with the toothpick he kinda looks like Clint Eastwood. Then I started thinking maybe his son Scott Eastwood could play him in a movie??
The original Gambit PF box is probably 1/4 size of the new one. Wish boxes are small. Hard to collect them as space is an issue. Looks great with Rogue.
Man Big ups to Richard Luong for the design. Collector in the community and now one of the design artist at sideshow which helps as he relates to both aspect of the spectrum. Good to see he's working next to a god amongst men in the statue world William Harbottle. Great review Gem and as always, keep it minty fresh ma man :)
Just got mine in and I love it. XM gets points for the added texture to the chest and I actually prefer the more muted shades and less glossy paint job they used. Plus I’m more of an SS budget than XM
Another great Gambit piece! Ypu should review both of the recent Gambit statues side by side. The toothpick portrait is like a great little nod to the character.
Looking forward to the comparison video! I think they both look really good and you can't really go wrong with either. Both of them looked really good the way you had them displayed together as well. I have both on po, and think I will keep both.
I sold this amazing piece... and yep, you guessed it! I just bought it back. Love this Sideshow Line. I had the idea of selling all of my PF for the Iron Studios 1/10th scale Sentinel pieces but the PF line is just too amazing to sell. Guess I have to keep getting both... rip wallet.
Yo Gem, just keyed mine together. I can’t believe this thing is sitting in my house, man...makes me laugh thinking back to that first toybiz Gambit figure I had with the garbage bag coat. The first back issue I ever bought was Uncanny 266 for $18.00 back in 1994 lol, think I had to borrow $5 from my Dad to get it. Love all your videos on the old Marvel Master Piece sets, takes me right back to 6th grade man. Keep it brother. EXCELSIOR!
Was so happy when I saw your review up! Thought this statue was going to be delayed again. Which means I should be getting my PO soon. The XM has more texture detail on the suit, but I like the SS pose, portrait and translucent effect better vs. the painted one. I think the effect has to be plastic so to be as lightweight as possible. I don’t mind that.
Thanks for the review Gem and congrats on the acquisition. Looking forward to the comparison video! Btw what is the electronic turn table you are using?
Dope! Didn't know they were shipping these out already? Cant wait to get mine. Shoulda put them all together colossus/jugg/gambit/rogue for everyone to see. I know that juggernaut is a pain to move around tho
To me, the Sideshow versions of the characters always look better than XM. Their portraits most of the time look really good and their outfits are always true to the design.. XM tends to make the outfit a bit too complicated and different. But that's not definitely a bad thing. It's just that I think Sideshow brings the characters from the comic books to life better, even if they are not always as detailed as XM's.
Both of the Gambit statues look really amazing, but I think the Sideshow version looks more dynamic 🤓 And it looks really cool next to the Rogue statue 😍
Yo Jim, i love your channel bro!! I watch you regularly. I personally like the Sideshow sculpt better than XM. For some reason, at least in my opinion, Sideshow portraits are consistently better. Like you, i prefer the comic look sculpts and this definitely looks like a Jim Lee Gambit! Sideshow just needs to vary their poses more. The gambit pose is very similar to the 5th scale Black Panther and the quarter scale John Stewart Green Lantern. Overall this Gambit piece is FIRE and the companion Rogue just makes it that much better!!! Great review Jim!!!
I am digging the sideshow version. I have one on the way. I will say I like the the xm version of him standing more straight up better but I like the faces on the sideshow much more than the xm. The coloring on the xm seems a little better as well. Not so bright. The toothpick portrait really knocks it out of the park though.
The exclusive portrait does have more of a Gambit swagger
This statue/pose really shows how agile this character is. The colors are so vibrant and the energized cards are absolute show-stoppers! Great vid, Gem!
imagine going to this guys house it would be like a mini-comic con 😂
9:53 very nice how his look is following the card wave. AMAZING!
Mine arrived a couple of days ago and it’s definitely my favorite in the SS X-Men line.
You had the exact same criticisms as me, I think the wave look like a Barbie accessory with the silver splatters on clear pink plastic, and YES! The sheen on the base shows me they sprayed the clear coat either in a cold environment and it didn’t cure properly or it wasn’t mixed before they sprayed it down
Your x-men statues are my favorites. Seriously, the ones you buy are amazing. The best X-men poses, outfits and they are first-rate.
Nothing as fun as opening a big box that was just delivered to your door, feels like Christmas.
Dude, great video! That lazy Susan to show off the statue is everything and a perfect idea. Gambit is one of my favorites.
SO AMAZING!!! Sideshow Collectibles is no joke! They know how to bring superheroes to life!
Card Affect goes to SS, Display-ability goes to XM, Paint & Sculpt are pretty equal. I think the advantage of XM is it can pair better with other pieces were SS is really meant for that specific line. XM I think has the slight edge for me. Both winners though.
Portrait on SS looks like the Jim Lee version of the character. I have to give it to SS for that alone.
Wow best part of the video is on 12:51 when both Gambit and Rogue are paired together. Like you seeing a Danger Room action over there..Love it!! Astig!!
I've never been a big fan of Gambit but I would be tempted to by that, what an excellent sculpt.
I'm very pleased with the SS Gambit. I love his dynamic pose and it does pair much better with my Rogue. I love the exclusive portrait with the toothpick best.
Super dynamic pose. I liked the toothpick part and that background song is so cool
Absolutely love this piece! Man... statues today blow the older pieces out of the water!
I can't wait to get mine. I've had it on pre order since February of this year. Now seeing it in video looks even better.
I like the way you changed the back lights on your shelving to match with Gambits trademark magenta coloring.
Man, I know it’s supposed to be Remy/Rogue together but I love the look of those Gambits back to back!
This statue is as impressive as ever. I’m looking forward to seeing a full side-by-side comparison video.
Awesome video awesome statue!! I just ordered mine! Can’t wait for it to come in the mail!!
Thanks Mint-Man love how you have is that comparison at the end. Just got notified XM Gambit became available again and grabbed one. Thanks
my god..it's finally here!
✌️🧔
My favorite X-Men character by far. I can’t really pick which ones I like the most. Which is a good thing. Both are unique in their own right. The toothpick portrait is 🔥 Can’t wait to receive both.
Freakin love this piece! The pose, the exclusive head sculp...it’s a great piece!!!
Looking forward to the comparison video, hope you keep in mind the like $400-$500 difference with shippings etc.
Can’t wait to see the comparison video. I like the small footprint XM has, but I love the exclusive portrait that Sideshow has.
The exclusive portrait is spot on! Great review, man!
One of my favorite characters from X-Men, wyckedly awesome, I like both
Brooo. Beautiful! I cant wait to sell all my diamond select gallery statues and start getting sideshow pieces instead!! Thats 2 statues ive seen already that are out of this world. Omega red and Gambit!! Awesome sculpts.
Look great. That pose is so dynamic.

super dynamic piece!!! it looks so good.
A totally minty fresh and honest review. XM does have the edge. But Sideshow Gambit does pair nicely with Sideshow Rogue.👍
Hart to choose which is the better Gambit. Nice to see him getting more love, great character.
Both Gambits look great. The SS Gambit and Rogue Exclusives together are 🔥 🔥 that’s how I’m displaying them
Amazing statue and great review and unboxing as usual Gem!!!
The original Gambit PF box is probably 1/4 size of the new one. Wish boxes are small. Hard to collect them as space is an issue. Looks great with Rogue.
Almost at 90k! You deserve it gem mint
thanks!
This definitely pairs better with the Rogue statue.
My gambit XM is coming in next week. I cant wait to watch your comparison. I really like this dynamic pose though!
Awesome review 😃👍👍as always! Can’t wait to get mine and put it next to Rogue. The dynamic pose itself sold me😱
congrats gem! this statue is so cool. definitely one of sideshow's best!
Man Big ups to Richard Luong for the design. Collector in the community and now one of the design artist at sideshow which helps as he relates to both aspect of the spectrum. Good to see he's working next to a god amongst men in the statue world William Harbottle. Great review Gem and as always, keep it minty fresh ma man :)
Beautiful piece GEMINT. I definitely prefer the Sideshow to the XM. Fantastic video again my friend.
Man two great Gambit statues....idk it’s still SS>XM to me. The pose is cool and looks good with the other pieces
Can't wait the comparison review!
Great video as always 👍
Another homerun from sideshow! That Gambit is awesome! The portraits are unmatched. Can't wait to get mine.
Soooo sick. Pairs with Rogue so nicely!
You are spoiling me with these Gambit statues. He's my favorite character not named Wolverine. Much respect Gem.
This statue is great but wish this one lit up @ the cards
@@harma.3162 That would have been epic
Both XM and Sideshow put out some incredible pieces, but when it comes to Gambit, I think Sideshow might've won. These artists nailed it.
Just got mine in and I love it. XM gets points for the added texture to the chest and I actually prefer the more muted shades and less glossy paint job they used. Plus I’m more of an SS budget than XM
Awesome. Bout to place my order. Another great unboxing and review Gem Mint. 👍👍👍
That looks really cool. I like that exclusive portrait with the toothpick
Agree on the pose. Love the statue!
Another great Gambit piece! Ypu should review both of the recent Gambit statues side by side. The toothpick portrait is like a great little nod to the character.
already recorded. Drops tomorrow.
Looking forward to the comparison video! I think they both look really good and you can't really go wrong with either. Both of them looked really good the way you had them displayed together as well. I have both on po, and think I will keep both.
Suddenly, we got multiple Gambits to choose from. I do like the dynamic pose of this one more. Looking forward to your comparison video.
Thanks for the great review Gem Mint; I enjoyed watching it! Keep up the good work! :-D
I sold this amazing piece... and yep, you guessed it! I just bought it back. Love this Sideshow Line. I had the idea of selling all of my PF for the Iron Studios 1/10th scale Sentinel pieces but the PF line is just too amazing to sell. Guess I have to keep getting both... rip wallet.
Man, I thought for sure I loved XM's Gambit more, but this is fantastic. I can't decide which one I like more. Sideshow did a really great job.
Love the marvel vs capcom gambit theme music in the background
Yo Gem, just keyed mine together. I can’t believe this thing is sitting in my house, man...makes me laugh thinking back to that first toybiz Gambit figure I had with the garbage bag coat.

Love all your videos on the old Marvel Master Piece sets, takes me right back to 6th grade man. Keep it brother. EXCELSIOR!
Great review. I'd have a really hard time picking between these two, they both look great to me.
I got one of the 2000. Haven't received it as of yet but I'm eagerly awaiting him. I enjoy your reviews, bro. Keep it up
Remy statue lookin minty fresh!! 💎 💎 💎
Statues are a little above my budget but if I could pick just one, this would be it hands down. Amazing. Nice unboxing.
Nice Gambit statue Gem!! Always giving us a great unboxing review 👍
Was so happy when I saw your review up! Thought this statue was going to be delayed again. Which means I should be getting my PO soon.

very cool love the awesome gambit statues can't wait to see what's next
Fantastic Statue!!! The best Gambit Statue!!
Still waiting on mine 🤗 can’t wait! Such a sick peace!
Rougue & Gambit Pairing... DOPE! 🔥🔥👹🥃
I’m liking this one better from what I can see. Love the tooth pick. Exciting to see your comparison
Does where the claw fit into the base wiggle on yours? Looks like it moves like mine.
Man as an anime statue collector these dang gambits are making me WEAKKKKK broooo! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts comparing the two of them.
Haha thanks Brian
Gambit is such a cool character! Huge poker fan here so he's definitely one of my favorite lol
Just ordered him and have Rogue enroute... Looks like an awesome combo...
Definitely going to add both to my collection once I start making room for statues.
Best Gambit statue out there
Very cool
Both pieces were super dope but I just enjoy the dynamic aspect of this statue
Man.... my wallet can't keep up! Being a 90's kid was never so expensive! and yes, I just pre-ordered Gambit ;)
Love how the SS shipper box says “GM8T” lol someone lazy with the letter B “We left out the B for Bayou” 💎😏
They charge you buy the letter mentality 😆
Thanks for the review Gem and congrats on the acquisition. Looking forward to the comparison video! Btw what is the electronic turn table you are using?
drops tomorrow!
Dope! Didn't know they were shipping these out already? Cant wait to get mine. Shoulda put them all together colossus/jugg/gambit/rogue for everyone to see. I know that juggernaut is a pain to move around tho

i tend to like SS pieces better too. just personal preference.
Holy jesus that is massive! I want it, but know it's way out of my price league and I got nowhere to hide it from kiddos!
Finally! I can't wait to get mine and put him along side Rogue. Looks amazing! congrats and thanks for the video
I got XM Iceman on order to pair with this. Iceman’s base is also danger room!
That statue is really cool I especially like the art box that's really pretty👍
Could the base color reflect the fluid coming from the tentacle? Props to review of this piece.
Both of the Gambit statues look really amazing, but I think the Sideshow version looks more dynamic 🤓
And it looks really cool next to the Rogue statue 😍
Who would dislike this vid? Im so torn between this one and the other one you reviewed yesterday!
How can one choose between XM and SS? They 're both 🔥🔥
Cant wait to see the XM and Sideshow comparison video.
Looks great! If I get Gambit this is the statue Im getting for sure.
I can't wait, pre-ordered side shows exclusive. I prefer this one over the XM. I'm just not a fan of a lot of switch outs. But that's just me though.
Totally awesome gem mint. Hello From Japan. Keep up the great work. Cool statue. Hope to win the super girl. Almost to the big 90k
