X-Men '97

Gambit may be my least favorite/vote for worst Marvel Legend of the year. It's no wonder the revival of Starting Lineup went no where. These base figures are awful. Totally dated and ugly torso articulation scheme, butterfly joints that barely work, lanky limbs unsuitable for a "superhero" build.

To be fair, that body had a half-inch rubber overlay on the torso. In that case, you might be asking yourself why Hasbro opted for an ab crunch instead of a lower torso ball joint.

Daisy Dukes Wolverine appeals to me in ways that Weapon X Wolverine never did.

I know why Rogue has exposed skin. But if I were her, I would've done a full body wetsuit. That suit for her just feel isolating and scary. Like, Gambit may be the only one willing to get close to her in that. Not to say I don't like it, but if I were her, I wouldn't wear it.

I'd take that Psylocke any day of the week though.

It's been decided then, SDCC 2026 Boxset. Poolparty Rogue, Storm and Psylocke. YOU HEAR US HASBRO?!?! WE DID YOUR JOB FOR YOU!!!
 
And Wolverine? I wouldn't do any of the other males though cause they'll end up looking like basketball Gambit with Speedos. I don't think anyone would want that monstrosity.

That Quick Kick based custom is incredible. But it helps me realize I don't want to put effort into, or sacrifice another figure, just for this scene specific, throwaway version of a character I'm lukewarm on. His face is cartoony, so putting him on a body that isn't won't mesh well. He actually reminds me of Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
 
The Wolvie figures I have are very flat looking, not nearly as glossy as Storm came out. I think there are some legit inconsistencies in paint apps with him. It could be a case by case situation. And also, as I've admitted, my eyes aren't what they used to be, so seeing those differences may not be as obvious to me as it is for others.
 
That matte coat on Storm just turned her into a taller version of the 3.75" Retro. Looks the same!!

I also think this works:

It helps, at least. I miss it on Rogue, but it helps Remy.

The basketball has a plastic nub on it that's miscolored right where it's always facing me and it annoys me a lot.
