I definitely want that version of Cyclops. And I hope they do Beast. The only recent "good" fury beast we got without a "Jim Lee" head was the gray version. And I think animated Beast's face, when you look at them side by side, is the least like the comics aside from color schemes
They're definitely very cartoon accurate. He's another I consider an upgrade mostly for the face. The tech has changed since those retro card ones. Faces are just dramatically better. Like the unmasked Wolverine head now compared to the derpy looking ones prior to this point. Seen some eyes on the retro card Gambit look wonky like they're hand painted. I bet we'll see a Nightcrawler soon from this wave but bet he doesn't come with 3 heads 😆
I might be getting this for the head alone. Thats the hair that Ive always wanted. Not for the animated series but for Marvel vs Capcom. Just wish it was cast in skin tone and the black was painted instead of the other way around. The jacket I think i prefer the older ones. Before seeing everything, this was my top pick up.
Best Gambit headsculpt to date, I feel none of the previous attempts went crazy enough with the hair. I wish they used black plastic for the knees articulation and either painted or used an overlay for the knee pad. Still, I like it.
I'm relatively new to collecting ML and so this wave has been perfection for me, Rogue especially isn't exactly an easy figure to get prior to this. Gambit and Bishop not as hard but personally didn't like the colours on the previous Gambit I much prefer retro comic/cartoon colouring so the wave is just a massive kick start to my xmen collection! Desperately hoping to see a Nightcrawler if they continue this line
The whole wave is great (yes, I’m an X-Men fan), so… I pre-ordered almost the whole wave (excepting Storm, I hate that hair style). I would love to see another wave with the rest of the characters, specially Sunspot and his new look. I hope a Cyclops with a beam accesory (pleeeease Hasbro), and Jubilee with descent power effects this time.
I love it! The head sculpt is fantastic! Love the hair. I was going to try and sell some stuff and get the mafex for the head sculpt; but now I don’t have to! This guy is way cheaper!
Good reviews, my picks Wolverin, Bishop, Magnito, Storm, Rouge and Gambit in that order. Disappointed they did Gambit so wrong, especially about the lack of hands and not updating the legs to pin-less! Was expecting all the figures in this wave to be pin-less.
I have the retro card one that you showed in this vid. I'm pretty happy with it. For this I think they should've given him newly sculpted pinless legs and bulked them up a bit. This and the previous ones look a tad skinny. Double jointed pinless arms would've been cool. Maybe some swap out non trench coat arms. The new head sculpt looks good. I prefer the metallic pink of the retro one's body.
Out of all of them Gambit and Magneto are the only ones that can be used with the VHS line to me...I might pick up Gambit and Magneto but I'm afraid that once I do they'll announce him on the next wave of the original animated series lol
Absolutely no reason they couldn't use the renew your vows body, he is more flexible then DP yet Gambit gets the bare minimum treatment, they could have even given him pinless legs or heaven forbid DBL jointed elbows, but I guess all the funds in this wave went to Wolverine and his longer trunks, that all said I will be getting this for I'm all about all things involving the ragin Cajun, I appreciate the review MCU thanks
Never got the gambit of the retro card nor going to get 97 one..what I did used Caliban one and replaced the head of X-men 275 gambit making the perfect one😊
I have the caliban wave one and i am gonna grab this one and headswap, maybe jacket and arm swap. Then i will have the one gambit figure ro eule them all
New jacket, new hair, new face sculpt. Not the same, but I get you. The worse part is they release so many different versions of Gambit, are all of them are similar.
Most already have these characters on their collection. At this point, its just wasting money. Hasbro should instead do rachel grey, old school namorita, xfactor wolfsbane, gorgon, starhawk, charlie 27, martinex, crystal etc. imo
I'll be skipping Rogue and Gambit, maybe Bishop too. I have the previous versions. I may get Storm, the old white suited one has weak knees and is top-heavy. I need that Magneto, my current one is the black and red suit. I'll definitely get Wolverine first, he's central to my collection.
They should have done new arms. It just looks funny to have detailed arms and a smooth jacket. Same issue as the new gray hulk. I see this Gambit being the peg warmer in the wave. It was so easy to get the retro card version from target. It's still on the site for cheaper than the new one. The new one looks a bit younger and has bright effects, but is basically the same.
I’m definitely picking up that Wolverine because of the pinless nature and the fact it has those nubs on his regular fist hands. That’s probably about it…..maybe Gambit and Rogue on discount.
The X-Men 97 figures are fine and everything, I already pre-ordered some, but what makes me most curious is the show itself, because as far as I know, they haven't shown a single clip... Regarding the Gambit, I think of all of them, it is the only one that I do not plan to buy, it would have been a safe purchase if it were pinless on the legs and I already have the Caliban wave version.
Here in my country you can have a really hard time trying to get the previous versions. Cause those may cost almost three times the original price. So this new one is going to be my first Gambit figure haha
The torso/abb color on my 97 Gambit looks different than all the ones I've seen reviewed so far. Mine is very light pink and the others are darker, maybe it's a variant?
I hope in wave 2 they re release the VHS cyclops without the nasty cell shading
A jean grey too
They seem to have costed out the cell shading.
I just removed it
I definitely want that version of Cyclops. And I hope they do Beast. The only recent "good" fury beast we got without a "Jim Lee" head was the gray version.
And I think animated Beast's face, when you look at them side by side, is the least like the comics aside from color schemes
It came out, what are your thoughts
They're definitely very cartoon accurate. He's another I consider an upgrade mostly for the face. The tech has changed since those retro card ones. Faces are just dramatically better. Like the unmasked Wolverine head now compared to the derpy looking ones prior to this point. Seen some eyes on the retro card Gambit look wonky like they're hand painted. I bet we'll see a Nightcrawler soon from this wave but bet he doesn't come with 3 heads 😆
I'd buy at least two Kurts! The mafex one might not come out in my lifetime at this rate.
I might be getting this for the head alone. Thats the hair that Ive always wanted. Not for the animated series but for Marvel vs Capcom. Just wish it was cast in skin tone and the black was painted instead of the other way around. The jacket I think i prefer the older ones. Before seeing everything, this was my top pick up.
The more Gambits the better,ALWAYS
Best Gambit headsculpt to date, I feel none of the previous attempts went crazy enough with the hair.
I wish they used black plastic for the knees articulation and either painted or used an overlay for the knee pad.
Still, I like it.
Hopefully we get an updated 90's Sabertooth on the AOA buck, the Apocalypse wave one looks small now.
Phew, he's jacket should've been cloth like they did with Beast's lab coat
I'm relatively new to collecting ML and so this wave has been perfection for me, Rogue especially isn't exactly an easy figure to get prior to this. Gambit and Bishop not as hard but personally didn't like the colours on the previous Gambit I much prefer retro comic/cartoon colouring so the wave is just a massive kick start to my xmen collection!
Desperately hoping to see a Nightcrawler if they continue this line
It's good for people who missed out on the previous ones this will be my first one and at regular price
Wave 2 needs Cyclops, Jean, Jubilee, Beast + Sunspot
UK needs them in stores
Hopefully this show will introduce onslaught, and hopefully will get a deluxe figure for it
Hell ya! Hoping to get flush with X-men Marvel Legends! Would be insane if they did Onslaught as a BAF even.
Gambit looks great.
The whole wave is great (yes, I’m an X-Men fan), so… I pre-ordered almost the whole wave (excepting Storm, I hate that hair style). I would love to see another wave with the rest of the characters, specially Sunspot and his new look.

I love it! The head sculpt is fantastic! Love the hair. I was going to try and sell some stuff and get the mafex for the head sculpt; but now I don’t have to! This guy is way cheaper!
I'm surprised they didn't at least upgrade the arms and legs, face looks good but I definitely don't need this.
target has tons of the retro card gambit online. love that fig.
I got wolverine gambit and rouge there awesome 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩
CABLE !!! Raise yours hand guys. It's been a long time
Good reviews, my picks Wolverin, Bishop, Magnito, Storm, Rouge and Gambit in that order.
Disappointed they did Gambit so wrong, especially about the lack of hands and not updating the legs to pin-less! Was expecting all the figures in this wave to be pin-less.
I got the prior Gambit for $20 on Amazon a few months back, so definitely not difficult to find.
It's also still on the Target website. It's been on sale multiple times. Seems they can't get rid of them.
I have the retro card one that you showed in this vid. I'm pretty happy with it.
For this I think they should've given him newly sculpted pinless legs and bulked them up a bit. This and the previous ones look a tad skinny. Double jointed pinless arms would've been cool. Maybe some swap out non trench coat arms.

As a new novice customizer, i want it for the arms and trenchcoat 👍🏿🍻
Out of all of them Gambit and Magneto are the only ones that can be used with the VHS line to me...I might pick up Gambit and Magneto but I'm afraid that once I do they'll announce him on the next wave of the original animated series lol
I’ve found 97 version’s head sculpt much more appealing. So, i’m gonna go with that.
Gambit is the best marvel character so yes get more figures
X men 97 Gambit face looks so young while the retro has more mature/ experienced aesthetics.. maybe one reason we like the retro one better..
Nose and hair make it look like the Marvel Vs Capcom Gambit.
Gambit should definitely get a ronin samurai variant ☝️
I am very happy with him
No pinless joints for gambit ? Bummer
I want to kitbash both gambits, i like the pink on the retro card version and the new jacket color and the head sculpt looks great.
Absolutely no reason they couldn't use the renew your vows body, he is more flexible then DP yet Gambit gets the bare minimum treatment, they could have even given him pinless legs or heaven forbid DBL jointed elbows, but I guess all the funds in this wave went to Wolverine and his longer trunks, that all said I will be getting this for I'm all about all things involving the ragin Cajun, I appreciate the review MCU thanks
Definitely passing on him, i am happy with the Caliban wave Gambit that i have.
Easy pass. Already got the retro and the mafex one. Dont think ill ever need another gambit💀
What's annoying is they're releasing all this merchandise and they haven't release any video promotion.
Never got the gambit of the retro card nor going to get 97 one..what I did used Caliban one and replaced the head of X-men 275 gambit making the perfect one😊
Mondo x-men designs looks so much better
I definitely like the colors on the new one but I don't like head sculpt
I literally returned my target version for this one. There’s nothing different about it besides the upgrade. So why not?
Unfortunately, we had 2 good Gambit's and 2 good Rogue's last year, and early this year. There is absolutely no reason for me to buy another one.
I like the left gambit just ordered mine yesterday excited to receive him first gambit figure btw
Overall the wave is solid. The rogue magneto and gambit are ok. But for new collectors its good
I bet the vhs line and this 97 line are the “animated” ones. Like this is the continuation and probably won’t return to the vhs line
I have the 97 gambit I got both and I like them 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It's annoying he doesn't have an extra left holding hand as now he can't wield his staff with both hands as he would need to in combat.
I have the caliban wave one and i am gonna grab this one and headswap, maybe jacket and arm swap. Then i will have the one gambit figure ro eule them all
To rule them all, I meant to say
New jacket, new hair, new face sculpt. Not the same, but I get you. The worse part is they release so many different versions of Gambit, are all of them are similar.
Most already have these characters on their collection. At this point, its just wasting money. Hasbro should instead do rachel grey, old school namorita, xfactor wolfsbane, gorgon, starhawk, charlie 27, martinex, crystal etc. imo
This one looks way better than that old one especially in the head
Looks like the 3d sculptor discovered the horizontal axis 👁 👃 👁 😂
"its fairly stiff...just a heads up on that" 😂
I'll be skipping Rogue and Gambit, maybe Bishop too. I have the previous versions. I may get Storm, the old white suited one has weak knees and is top-heavy. I need that Magneto, my current one is the black and red suit. I'll definitely get Wolverine first, he's central to my collection.
This new Gambit looks like Zac Efron. tee hee
Are they going to discontinue the X-Men VHS line?
It’s already over, ended with Cyclops
They should have done new arms. It just looks funny to have detailed arms and a smooth jacket. Same issue as the new gray hulk.
I see this Gambit being the peg warmer in the wave. It was so easy to get the retro card version from target. It's still on the site for cheaper than the new one. The new one looks a bit younger and has bright effects, but is basically the same.
Very Difficult To Pose With This Coat...meh. gotta mess with it more.
It looks like a remake of the 90s Toybiz Xmen line
Wave 2 needs to at least have cable and cyclops
I’m definitely picking up that Wolverine because of the pinless nature and the fact it has those nubs on his regular fist hands. That’s probably about it…..maybe Gambit and Rogue on discount.
Do a video where you upgrade all the heads, put 275 gambit head on it
The only other difference is the boots and the extra hands
The X-Men 97 figures are fine and everything, I already pre-ordered some, but what makes me most curious is the show itself, because as far as I know, they haven't shown a single clip... Regarding the Gambit, I think of all of them, it is the only one that I do not plan to buy, it would have been a safe purchase if it were pinless on the legs and I already have the Caliban wave version.
Here in my country you can have a really hard time trying to get the previous versions. Cause those may cost almost three times the original price. So this new one is going to be my first Gambit figure haha
Thanks for the review
Best gambit ❤😂
The show has been pushed back at the last minute as Disney are trying to maximise profits.
Do y’all think they’re going to release another beast? Or should I just get the latest one out there?
The torso/abb color on my 97 Gambit looks different than all the ones I've seen reviewed so far. Mine is very light pink and the others are darker, maybe it's a variant?
Maybe. Could it just be lighting?
I really hate the coat on this figure, I looks to smooth down the bottom
Do you know if Walmart has them already?
Yeah some do
I didn’t have a Gambit so this is legit
What do you mean "not popular" ? Ofcourse he is
the hair on the new one is what made me not purchase this one. i feel like it wouldn't fit in with my figure aesthetics
Uncanny X-Men Gambit all the way
If you happen to have the gambit from the old ToyBiz run with the soft goods jacket, you may be able to do some nice customization
Shave your hands dude
Au naturale
The collector was 3d molded and painted properly not like Wolverine that they delivered without a brush in the arms😂
Fairly stiff. That's what she said!😂
Pick Up Magneto 🧲 !!!, Forget the rest ,😎
