I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate hate it!

I hate the act and I scowl everytime I see someone on the big screen with a cigarette.

Cigars, pipes, etc. I know are toxic to health as well...but they dont frikkin stink to high hell like a cigarette does.

I personally stayed away from the Metal Gear Solid Games just because it condoned smoking.

I should have been more clear though...I hate smoking...but its cigarettes I have a specific disdain for. Hence why I think that Gambit PF head on SS was garbage. Mine stayed in the box and never came out.

I hate cigarette smoking as well. I always thought the cigarette head on the PF just looked to old and wrinkly for Gambit but the comic artists do portray him anywhere from attractive man in 20s to ugly worn out smoker in his 60s, Gambit has almost no artistic consistency. I think the long haired head had a better face but the hair and chest armor was better on the smoking head.

This statue looks better than it originally did after seeing it in video. But it’s an exclusive now. I’ve acquired XM statues before but I’m not going too out the way, even for a favorite character of mine like Gambit certainty is.

Because it is exclusive and there are so many gamb T fans I won’t be surprised if this one shoots up in value

Exclusive or not, it's just not a very attractive Gambit statue. I was so looking forward to owning a Gambit. The wait continues.

Says you....I think its by FAR the most impressive and dynamic statues I have seen of Gambit.

Still won't get it though. I am completely out of 1/4 statues. Only 1/6, 1/7 and a couple 1/3 pieces.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Ordered him as well. Now that SS is going to release a Dynamic Rogue, I think XM Gambit will go well with her. Hopefully Rogue will be in a sentinel base as well like him.

Same, I think this is leagues above the PF.
To me this is the best Gambit ever made.

totally agree about this gambit being the most dynamic piece and best 1/4 gambit to be produced. I think this will be an amazing piece in any X-Men collection

Looks good, but the portraits are horrible. PF is still the Gambit to own for me. Has everything I need for a Gambit statue
