Gambit has NEVER looked so good!

I review the Mondo X-Men Gambit based on the X-Men Animated Series. Recently, season 1 of X-Men '97 has wrapped up leaving many of us craving more of our favorite mutants. Does this Gambit action figure hit all the right marks or is it big and cumbersome?

I had the exact same motivations for getting this one. It was just supposed to complement the Rogue figure. Nice to see it’s more than just a very expensive filler

Have to say IMO youve become one of the best figure reviewers and posers on youtube. Its clear youre putting in a lot of work on these videos and I hope your channel keeps growing. On topic, the figure is great! I stay away from 1/6th due to space like you said. Rogue would get me tho.

Once I got into the line, I had long since missed the timed edition of Gambit. I’m glad that they not only released a standard edition with Rogue, but he’s not a “deluxe or bust” figure. This one is great…lol and I’m very glad that I didn’t spend $400 on eBay for the earlier release.

It looks incredible. After watching your video- I'm now glad I decided to pick a Gambit up to go with my Rogue. The details, the shading, the paint job, the accessories. Couldn't have asked for more. Also, I GYAT to recreate that pose for display 13:23 when mine gets delivered. Thanks for the awesome pose ideas.

Thank you for making the request for the accessory set Johnny. Your voice is louder than ours since you are now an action figure influencer, and if any of the Mondo team watches this video, they’ll hear you and definitely consider it. As I said on the Rogue video, I’m hoping they release a DLC pack. So cheers for making the request and for looking out for me and the community. Hoping for more success for you.

I'm so thankful for your posing section on this guy, cause I just had such a tough time trying to find a cool pose for him because of the limitations at the elbows. But now I have like ten to choose from. To the card... I initially thought it was an effect to pop over the top of a playing card (which would have been really cool), but I don't mind it as is.

I don't own any Mondo stuff, so don't throw too many stones my way, lol. Rogue and Gambit look nice, but these figures really just look like upscaled Marvel Legends with better deco and more accessories to me. I don't know...maybe those improvements plus the lower production runs justify the prices. Do they really feel that much better? I'd at least like to see a little more articulation range. Regardless, nice review as always! Edit: I feel to compelled to add that the ass they put on Rogue is a national treasure, lol. Maybe she's worth it!
