Le Diable Blanc: Gambit Appreciation

[DearMachine]

It was only a matter of time before we got a Gambit Marvel Legends figure. Very excited about that. They're the only figures I DO collect (aside from pop funkos).

Yeah. That figure seems cool from the somewhat indistinct video. I'd like to see more pictures before committing to it.

Quick mention was also made of Kelly Thompson’s forthcoming Mr. and Mrs. X, which details Gambit and Rogue’s honeymoon after their surprise wedding in X-Men Gold (which Cebulski noted would be continuing with a new arc about Storm).

So what's it going to take to get a Gambit Pop Funko? It's kind of ridiculous how every other character seems to have one and yet...no Gambit.

Rogue doesn't have one either. I wonder if Funko will do some sort of post-wedding double set.

Omg. I would spend money on a Dorbz Rogue Bridal Variant. She can hang out with my collection of Dorbz Batman villains.

Oh don't say that...now I want a wedding set but they don't exist! *shakes fists at the sky*

Maybe Bryan Singer's involved in the X-Men Funko line. Y'know, that director that used every X-Character except Gambit. Then again if it was Singer, you'd have Artie there before Gambit.

But seriously though, Rogue and Nightcrawler are the other 2 biggies that don't have one either. Hopefully we'll get Gambit soon.

Super excited to share the first look of a brand new Gambit action figure by Hasbro and it look awesome.

Thanks Purp! Been wanting to see a clear image of this. I really like how Rogue (that outfit!) looks but that doesn’t look like Gambit’s face. Then again it’s Dodson’s art so I’m not terribly shocked. Still a cool cover though. So damn pumped for these to come out.

I just read Gambit’s (1999) annual today. I missed it after all of these years and it was a tough read.

Love that annual.
New costumes looks good for me and mission to infiltrate Shiar homeworld sounds awesome. Love Space stories!

That cover makes it look like Rogue already cheating on Gambit with someone else as I don't know who that dude is suppose to be.

I think i could taste the salt from here.....

That being said the costumes are cool but what did they do to Gambits face. But atleast they eyes are right.

What did you guys think of Mr and Mrs. X #1? I personally really liked it, especially from Gambit's perspective. I liked all of his dialogue, all of his interactions, and the action sequences as well from beginning to end. It's been a while since I've been able to say that about a comic where Gambit was a headliner. I'm confident that Kelly Thompson will continue to show both Gambit and Rogue equally in the spotlight, especially based on her interviews. It'll be interesting to see how they reunite. Overall I really liked Gambit's portrayal in this.

I'm just surprised Marvel let that much skin and innuendo... man, they were @&#&#$&. But I think Gambit was used well and I hope he gets to run into Gladiator again, though he's a bit more of big shot these days, so I doubt that.
