I'm crossing my fingers they do! It'd be super sick to make more with awesome poses! I hope they based them off sketches and illustrations from the original creators. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/


I saw figpin tease the original xmen i hope funko follows. The new gambit and rogue already too good


Crossing my fingers they'll make it happen! Marvel 80 pop series is doing really well. I hope they continue it. \:D/

Should be interesting to see what comes out, they don't disappoint so we should be good.

I actually didn’t read a ton of the comics, i got into X-Men via the cartoon, but really learned about the characters by collecting the trading cards. There’s so much great artwork to base pops off of and I’d love to see the, get creative with some characters.

I have opened pops too but i feel bad haha. Funko PTSD fo me


I've mostly gotten over it, but every now and then if it's a con exclusive, it freaks me out! The sacrifices we make for the things we love!

With all the fabulous pops we're getting lately, it's going to be very hard to keep them in box. The details on them, and especially the GITD accents, are going to just CALL to me to open the boxes!

Congrats on your success with Kurama!

He was because there’s too many Gambits coming out all at once. I only want the EE GITD EX.

Understandable. Given the choice, I would rather have a GITD one too.

I’m absolutely in agreement with you. Toad is definitely a sleeper and people are passing in favor of more commercialized pops but I have a feeling that the hardcore audience of gambit fans are going to be all that’s lift and it def will be a sleeper hit that ends up on Serlentpops Pops on the rise series

The Toad pop is great, the character on a whole is a little bit of a sleeper, so I think you guys are right that people will kind of gloss and then fight over later

I was really surprised that EE was given the GITD Gambit, rather than flipping who got which pop for ECCC. I would've made perfect sense to me for GITD Gambit to be the con exclusive. But happy either way with all the Gambit molds!

So...funny story!

I'd just gone to pull them out when I saw your post, so I went through them. They're the Masterpiece set 2 set. I just flipped through them, and realized the reason they're still out of the way in the box is that I didn't particularly care for the artwork on this set! I think the set I was thinking of originally was Set 1? I'm not sure, I'll have to track it down. I'll be sure to let you know if I do!

Understandable. Given the choice, I would rather have a GITD one too.


I was really surprised that EE was given the GITD Gambit, rather than flipping who got which pop for ECCC. I would've made perfect sense to me for GITD Gambit to be the con exclusive. But happy either way with all the Gambit molds!


I think you are absolutely accurate when it comes to this. Gambit GITD is definitely the much more desirable variant and the other Gambits really don’t hold a candle to it. I don’t know who made that decision but I always feel like the most hype molds should be con exclusives. In my opinion we really only needed like 2 gambits and the niche would have been met.

That’s my whole point. Why so many Gambits all at once. Although I do agree with EX pops being spread out other than only being a Con EX. :fdo92:

If that had happened, his value would have been extremely high and perhaps quite difficult to get.

That one and toad are the sleepers to me


I’m absolutely in agreement with you. Toad is definitely a sleeper and people are passing in favor of more commercialized pops but I have a feeling that the hardcore audience of gambit fans are going to be all that’s lift and it def will be a sleeper hit that ends up on Serlentpops Pops on the rise series


The Toad pop is great, the character on a whole is a little bit of a sleeper, so I think you guys are right that people will kind of gloss and then fight over later


I’d love them to do the janitor Toad from the Jean Grey Academy as a variant!
