![[Gambit] Remy Etienne LeBeau, the mutant who would become Gambit was abandoned at birth, by his birth father due to his unusual red-on-black eyes. He was stolen from a New Orleans orphanage by the Thieves Guild and given to Antiquary, a 'collector' of children, who considered Remy a perfect work of art. There he was given the name Remy and the title Le
Diable Blanc (The White Devil), because of an old Guild Prophecy that spoke of a white devil. However, Jean-Luc LeBeau greatly disliked the idea of the child being in Antiquary 's care and arranged for Remy to grow up being watched by a gang of street thieves known as Fagan's Mob instead. At age eight, Remy met and befriended a young girl named Bella Donna. A few days later, he was taken in and adopted by the leader of the Thieves Guild, Jean-Luc himself, after a failed pickpocket attempt which had been secretly arranged by Jean, which was a set-up to then meet with the young mutant.

![[Wolverine Origin Bratz] I saw this figure with a bike and got him right away. My brother suggested that I make him into the movie version of Wolvy. ^^
The first thing was to restyle the hair(still needs work) and painted on the facial hair and glued on some felt for the mustache.
Then I used some bratz clothes and peices for his jeans, belt, and tank top. The dog tag was made with metallic paper and sequence with a cut dog tag chain.
The hardest part was the jacket! At first I was going to fix up a ken biker jacket but it began falling apart so I had to make his jacket from scratch using only the zipper from the ken jacket. It was sewn from scrap vinyl then repainted the whole thing. The yellow parts were painted then sewn and glued to the jacket. His claws are just cut metallic cardboard. Then repainted his shoes and that was it!](userimages/customs/42500/42470-1.jpg) Wolverine Origin Bratz X-Men - Moviesby RogueI saw this figure with a bike and got him right away.

Sadly, we didn’t get any official product from the movie. So when I was asked to make some characters from the movie, I jumped at the chance. Charles Xavier was one, and Magneto was the other. Magneto here is made using the body from an X2 Cyclops figure, the head from a Hasbro ML unmasked Ronin (Clint Barton), the neck from a movie Punisher, the straps come from a movie masters survival suit Bruce Wayne, and the helmet comes from an X-Men Classics Magneto.
I had to use a new neck, because the X2 Cyclops head and neck were one piece, to accomodate the light-up feature in his visor. I completely sanded down all the detail on the front of torso. Anything that had an “X” or had to with X-Men I got rid of, including the detail on his collar too. Then I added a thin layer of Aves Apoxie Sculpt and used the handle of my X-Acto knife and rolled it across to get the texture into it.

My "requestant" wanted a movie gambit much like my own, but not with the comic-book like head. He said he wanted him more realistic. Not even gambit´s trademark black eyes. This took a while to get the right recipe. Body was clear from the beginning, but the head choice was head-aching. An added difficulty was the absence of neck on this figure. I tried sculpting one, but wasn´t satisfied with the result. I used a willy wonka head with sculpted hair, so his movie gambit were played by johnny depp, lol, but I rejected that idea, too. Finally, I got the neck from the hideous SMC daredevil, and then, I remembered grown nerd´s excellent custom of John carter from mars. Taylor Kitsch being the only movie reference we have for gambit, and with no headsculpts available of him, that gave me the idea of using movie punisher´s head. Even though the 2 actors bear the same resemblance as an egg and a nut, the figure´s hed did the trick. Adde](userimages/customs/42000/41888-1.jpg) Gambit X-Men Movie Version 2 |

I sculpted the X belt buckle smaller, gave him shorter and sharper steel claws and this time sculpted on the gap left by the original claws´removal. Otherwise, the figure is almost identical to my own. Hope you can´t tell much more differences.

I took him back to the workbench, did a little more work to his lower body, and then focused on my main problem, the torso. I did a full chest/arms repaint, doing a drybrush on the skin until it looked right to me, then turned to the body hair. I tested a few methods on some fodder until I found a decent method. I mixed up some dark brown paint and did a light drybrush on his chest and arms, redoing it several times until it looked right to me.

I present in a retrospective pic all 3 versions of this custom. This was posted for the first time on April 28 2011. It was just a kitbash, with very little black paint on the pants. That was all. I couldn´t even paint at that time, didn´t have a dremel, didn´t have any paints but black, didn´t have any material to sculpt,and above all, didn´t have a clue of what I was doing. But I´m glad I did it, cause it got me in the way. On version 2, I painted the pinstripes red (badly) and used a more stylized body. Version 3 has been totally repainted, including uniform,skin, tail, nails hair and even teeth.
I include a pic of this custom´s evolution, and my work´s and skills in little more than a year of practicing, studying tutorials and practicing again.
