Toy Biz has outdone themeselves this time with the new wave of X-Men Classics actions figures. I absolutely love how articulate and detailed each one of theme is.
This is a great Gambit and best of all he features his lesser know X-treme X-Men duds. My only complaint with the toy is that Remy here comes with a DISK SHOOTER! Hey I know he can't use his powers right now in the comics, but this is a bit wrong. I would like it if Gambit would come with his trademark staff and cards, but hey you can always steal them away from the Marvel Legends Gambit, although you may need to cut the staff down to size.
I believe anyone who is a fan of the X-Men will enjoy adding this Gambit action figure to their collection. As a Marvel Fan it earned five stars with me!

Marvel Legends has a Gambit figure already. And, despite its shortcomings, it was done reasonably well. Why produce him again under the X-Men Classics series (which are the same scale)?? And then, accessorize him with a disk shooter?? More proof that ToyBiz lacks an intelligent marketing staff. The only thing this figure has over the Marvel Legends figure is the jacket. It's molded as part of the figure and not a seperate piece of shabby clothing. It does add to the figure's appearance and makes it look real sharp. Great for an X-Men fan or collector...or someone who just can't get enough of Gambit.

It's not often that you find an action figure that you think has to many joints. But there are so many joints in Gambits legs (and they are all very lose) so he is hard to stand up and he looks a bit goofy. Other than that, this is a great figure. Stylistically he looks like what he probably would look like if he was in any of the movies and the jacket is perfect. It isn't to thick and stiff (like most of the capes on Batman figures) but it also isn't made out of cloth (that I think looks terrible on action figures. So Over all I'd definitely get him if your into X-Men.

This is a great action figure and it goes with the Marvel Legends perfectly! It has over twenty points of articulation! Awesome figure!
