I actually put mine together finally (kept it boxed for a while) and holy crap does it look good. Not only that but damn he takes up a lot of real estate. You don't realize how damn wide he is especially with his coat and staff. I finally got him positioned facing left (the best angle) but he sticks out of my display slightly. No big deal. Absolute GOAT statue.

Just a little tease. Edit: Just noticed the styrofoam in between his boots LOL.

Great pics I love mine as well. My preorders have been way down lately like to one or two a year but this one was one I had to have. Congratulations

Yea after having it on display for a day it absolutely makes my display now. The new Sabretooth PF was my favorite but I think this is just on another level, especially in person. It's just so damn dynamic.

It’s too much to move the maquette at this point, I should have taken photos of the 2 together way back when, but I was fixing to sell my Gambit PF and just decided to group shot the heads. I’ve been minimizing my collection, I just don’t want as many things overall (as I continue to buy new characters though, smh, lol). Gambit is one of my favorite characters so I like owning 2 of him, but I really don’t need 2. Just like my multiples of Spidey, having more doesn’t prove I’m more of a fan, it’s just having more stuff and I’d like to own less stuff overall.

I definitely prefer the Maquette but I still like the PF. It has a certain charm to it. Certain details I even like better, the headpiece texture, some of the more comic accurate stylings on his armored parts. I want to sell it in my brain, yet I look at it and then I don’t want to anymore. It’s usually a much easier decision for me to sell a statue.

Congrats tonytiger, looks great.

I missed out on Gambit's Exclusive, but have been think about getting the Collector edition eventually down the road.

Keep them both!
I have both and neither is leaving. One for the den and one for the family room!
As well we will never see that cigarette smoking head again!

Same here, Peedi. Limiting myself to one definitive version of each character in my display as better versions of that character release.

I like the variety in my display instead of loading up on a few select characters. Different strokes for different folks though. I just know that space comes at a premium and I already don't have enough room for the pieces I want that are releasing over the next two years.
