Agree that the XM version is not $500 better, tho it might end up being worth more because of the es is capped. SS will probably be crazy high es, but both have cool things about them, my thoughts

XM
+ Jacket details
+ Textured upper body suit
+ Switch out with the longer hair
- Odd long looking face with short hair portrait
- The kinetic energy coming from his jacket
- $500 premium price
Neutral on his base

SS
+ EX portrait is awesome
+ Kinetic energy coming out of his hands
+ lunging forward action
+ companions rogue well
- Reg portrait is meh
- base isn't to thrilling

Black Panther 2 (the film)

will probably introduce the mutants / X-MEN to the MCU

particularly Storm's involvement with T'Challa

(just a guess)


If they don't, well that sucks. Phase 4 sounds lame anyways.





or

in Thor Love and Thunder introduce Storm as Valkyrie's "Queen"

Either way Im all for it, so long as we get a PF by that time

Both XM and SSc pieces are good, I will display this one to go with Rogue, but both are great pieces. Since Disney is at the helm, the original Gambit PF will remain the only licensed smoking portrait of the Cajun.

But then you look at the portrait ...and again SSC wins. With how dynamic the coat looks on the SSC version, I say SSC wins that one too.

The body sculpt and proportions are good on both.

Even if both were exactly the same price, the Sideshow piece would still win. The only aspect that is better on the XM piece is the fact that he will take up less space.

anybody have any suggestions on what display would work for him? he is way too big for my case.

I think the XM is a bit more realistic looking while the SS is closer to the comics. I personally prefer the XM pose as it shows more of him, but the SS pose is nice. I think if the prices were the same I'd go with XM but with the big difference I would go with SS.

SS version is a bit chunky for Gambit also.

The long haired portrait on XM looks way better than SS

The EX on SS looks way better than the short haired portrait on XM



Conclusion: EX or fail

[Vecchio1]

I po'd the XM. Would be happy with either tho.

I prefer the aesthetics of the XM base, but overall, Sideshow is my preference.
