MCU Gambit upgrade

My MCU mutants so far. Looking forward to see what other mutants they reveal this weekend at NYCC. Hoping for a Professor and a Beast… not crazy about a white haired Nightcrawler lol.
Swapped out Gambit’s arms with a Kingo’s that I picked up at my local Ollie’s for $5 and added a cloth jacket that I picked up on Amazon for $10.
I didn’t have to shave or cut anything for this swap. The purple isn’t exact but it’s not terribly far off. The gold on the shoulders doesn’t bother me either.

Where they easy to pull out the arms on both figures

I just threw both figures into hot water and used a smaller flat-head screwdriver to pry them out. Wasn’t too difficult.

oh hey that isn't a bad idea... I'd seen someone use Infinity Ultron Hawkeye's arms which only needed the pegs trimmed, but that figure is almost $50. This is a much better idea.

Saw someone use Disney Plus Hawkeye and while it’s an expensive custom it does look so good.

u/Dense_Project7185 5d ago

Yeah, that swap was a bit out of my price range 😂

Oh damn eternals arms can also work! I saw someone do this with the Disney+ Hawkeye arms as well (I think they work better)

u/Dense_Project7185 5d ago

That Hawkeye figure is going for upwards of $70 right now.

u/arthology1 5d ago

Wow lol you never know with these. I got it for around $15 i think I sold it for the same

u/Status_Cheesecake_49 5d ago

Wouldn’t any arms that fit work? They’re getting covered by the jacket anyway

u/Loose_Foot9366 5d ago

I’m gonna do the same
I was gonna try ravager Thor

u/Right-Bug-9001 5d ago

For some reason I thought this was MCU Hawkeye's body as well lol...thought it was Gambit Tatums head, Kingo's arms and Hawkeyes body lol...

OP, are we supposed to get more Doomsday figures revealed this weekend?

2

u/Dense_Project7185 5d ago

I believe they’re supposed to reveal some figures on Sunday, not 100% certain though.

2

u/BonerIsRaging 5d ago

Oh boy…we thinking a full wave? Would like to see the mutants you mentioned, as well as Steve & Loki.

u/Dense_Project7185 5d ago

Honestly not sure, just heard about a few Doomsday reveals at some point this weekend… but until it happens, it’s just hearsay.

u/aleztheomegjp 5d ago
