I will never be shy to admit that the very first time I ever had a crush on a comic book character it was absolutely all about Gambit. For quite some time I've been waiting for just the right Gambit sculpt to come out, and I'm pretty sure as of now I've found my winner.

Sideshow Collectibles will put them up for pre-order on Friday, January 22nd at 10am PST (for those who subscribe to the newsletter.) Their newest premium format figure from the X-Men universe, Gambit, is one of the first figures to feature a facial sculpt I like of him, as well as getting his clothing down-pat. 

As usual with Sideshow you'll be able to choose from the regular version or their exclusive version. It appears the only difference is that the exclusive figure features a glowing charged card, as opposed to the standard card he has in his hand. It also looks like no matter which version you get it will come with two different heads. Both of which you'll be able to pre-order here once it goes live with a price tag of $274.99 for the regular or $284.99 for the exclusive. This is definitely on my pre-order list and if all goes well I'll be one happy camper of a Gambit fan come Friday morning.
