Gambit from Knight Models - A Closer Look

This week's A Closer Look sees us venture into the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game from Knight Models, with Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit.

In the blister is one white metal miniature that comes in two parts - main body and staff arm - and a Knight Models 30mm base. He is posed to be midway through throwing his trademark kinetic energy filled playing cards.

In game terms, he is a level 7 neutral mutant, meaning he can work for either good or evil mutant factions. Currently there are no evil mutants, but that is soon going to change with Knight Models set to release a Brotherhood of Mutants starter pack in the near future.

The arm join is one of KM's better ones, with the staff arm fitting snugly to the pin with only a little filing down, while the staff itself rests on a slight notch in his flared coat.

Knight Models' casting appears to have improved with their newer models, as my Gambit only had slight pitting in the recesses compared to other older models, which could have been used as voodoo dolls the amount of holes in them.
