XM Studios Gambit 1/4 scale

[Chapter 2099]

I hope this piece exceeds my expectations because this character deserves it!!

I hope so too. I'd like to see this character highlighted again in statue form. Lots of potential.

I'm hoping the movie delivers as well.

 

[Chapter 2099]

The XM Gambit is dynamic. Semi dynamic ha.

I'm still waiting on that MS Paint artist depiction.

Not quite getting the pose. What's with the left leg up? Kinda like what people were complaining about with Mystique.

 

[rjszar]

Is this a leaked photo? Just wondering why it doesn't appear on SF or on XM's Facebook page.

Yea it’s leaked. It’ll get taken down here soon by the XM white knights. Save it while you can.

 

[comicbookguy]

Wow that looks amazing!

 

[ComicGod]

I was dying to see this. Day 1 for me. Gambit is my favourite X-Man and even though I have the SS PF, I’ll be getting this as well. I don’t think this surpasses the SS PF though

 

[Asdf]

Hmmm... not sure about the pose.

 

[CodeGreen]

The pose is very strange... His left leg is up while throwing the cards with his right arm?

 

[Chapter 2099]

I actually like it....

Yea, I agree. Would've been better if Gambit had a stance with both feet on the ground.

Looks good to me so far .... strong action poses can be difficult to do without looking awkward, but I think this pulls it off. Can’t wait to see more angles and it fully painted.

Not that different from the Sentinel Diorama Gambit.

Look good or not, the pose is just strange. There's no way to explain it, especially when you consider the leg actually swings around far enough to rest on the other thigh. Just try that pose yourself. Even jumping up on something and losing your balance would not normally cause someone to take that position.

EDIT I was trying to think if the leg position would counter the momentum caused by the arm swing and it's possible that would explain it.

 

[Envyme]

I am a fan , hopefully we get a few more Gambit statues as he was by far my favorite character when I was a kid.

Looks to me he's jumping backwards as he's throwing his cards... Although given the way his coat is sculpted it does seem he's landing which in that case the legs are posed very oddly..

Yeah, the pose is so weird! Who would ever depict Gambit lifting his leg while he throws his--







Oh. I guess EVERYONE. XD

 

[rjszar]

I don't think it's the lifting of the leg that is weird. The pictures you posted show a lot of forward motion. The statue shows almost the opposite. He's tipping backwards and to the side. Now that may just be the angle of the render, but it throws it off. I actually like the idea just fine. Just doesn't seem to be executed well. We need more angles.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Yeah, the leg doesn't bother me in the slightest. Looks fine to me. I'm more interested in how they depict the energy blasts/cards - I hope they use resin and avoid polystone.
