the marvel legends gambit sucked IMO...its was way too skinny and he looked like a little weasel. here is my take on gambit to replace the original

modified cast ML gambit head
nick fury jacket/arms/shoulders
some wolverine torso and legs
mr fantastic neck/neck peg
sculpted collar/boots/waist
custom expanding staff
custom cards
complete repaint

The staff is a bit big, and shiny....everything else looks awesome though! Maybe tone down the staff with some silver paint??

the staff is shorter than his arm when not expanded. you can make it as long as you want. i cant make it less shiny because of how it contracts into itself. thanks for the input though

thanks a lot. i used model master true blue pearl and purple pearl. they look amazing before the matte finish..after the matte they look like what you see here..still great, but not as pearly as before the matte. more simple satin metallic now i guess

You bought back memories of the good ol days. When Toy biz came out with the light up xmen figures and Gambit had the light cards.

I think the fanned out card burst is the frosting on the cake for me.

yeah. i loved that gambit figure. its where i got my inspiration for this one. i guess if you thought of that one when you saw this one, i did something right. thanks for looking

thanks. its actually not magic. it is telescopic but if you put the hand over the "joint" its looks to be the same size pretty much
