Just a select few. Most are impressed by it...especially those that have seen it in person. The video also greatly shows how impressive and big he is standing next to the other X-Men.

I will stress everyone should watch the 20 minute walkthrough video with Bryan Tan at ACC this past weekend.

You can see just how big they are, detailed and well painted they are. After seeing the video...I can't decide who my favorite is

I think they are all fantastic. I do think the weakest of the line so far is Wheelchair Prof X and maybe Iceman (although he is still impressive).

I agree, after watching the video I like him more. The flow of his jacket and his pose still bother my slightly from movement/momentum perspective, but that can be overlooked. The only other thing that I think is a bit off is his over-textured torso. Its weird that the corners of his torso are perfectly smooth, along with his pants, but his chest texturing doesn't tie into any other part of his costume.

Gambit is my favorite character of all time and I own the SS version. The XM beats the SS version in some ways and I feel the SS version beats the XM in others. They are pretty even, but i give the nod to the SS probably because I am biased, due to the fact I see it every day.

Wish i could own this one too, but its way to expensive for a duplicate character and Id rather get a character I dont have like mystique or Prof X.

Gambit looks great in person, feels he is a little skinny in scale with the rest of xmen eg storm or dark phoenix

Storm is just lovely thick dark chocolate

I feel that is how he has always been drawn. I am not uber knowledgeable about Gambit like I am with Thor...so maybe he has been drawn more fuller.

Gambit has always been more on the thin side to me. Only one I can think of that is skinnier is Nightcrawler when it comes to the main X-Men. This Gambit looks on point in my opinion.

From XM site in response to STGCC 2018 comments:
“The power effects of the cards being thrown will not be produced in clear resin. The stability tests failed with the thin material prone to break and cause issues for collectors. We've updated it to stronger resin with painted effects which looks pretty cool too! Some really attentive fans asked us "Hey it's a royal flush move, why are there only 4 cards shown?". Ok you got us.

NOT! Now here's the thing that no one knows yet, but this cunning Cajun has an extra switch out arm holding the last card "Jack of Spades". We call this, keeping a card up our sleeves. Boomz!”

Great representation of the character. At first glance , thought he was on a motorcycle. That would've been bad ass Gambit of the 90's!

Amazing statue. Really wish they stuck with the smiling face as I think the cocky smirking Gambit is the only Gambit, but this is amazing. The SS is nice except for the generic base that it's on.

Edit: saw the smirking face, A+++ statue.

On their Chat they stated this soon, Must be that up for order.
