I agree, anti-clockwise, but many are accustomed that the dolls of the characters in the series do not look very similar, except for the product from the company Product Enterprises for 2002.

This is a great find and I would like to see Gambit and Steed's doll for the South African market.
Perhaps they are more similar.
Well, Gambit's doll is special surprise because I did not thought that this was done and ever will be then.
Jay was right, Santa Gambit walk somewhere nearby.
Yes, the dolls were pretty uniformly lousy in the likeness department back in the day. The Emma and Tara dolls were no better (though the latter was bootleg). The basic criteria seemed to be get the hair colour right and put them in an outfit that looked somewhat similar to what they wore.
There are no words to describe how much I would love to see a Gambit doll, even if it's a lousy likeness. Maybe Santa Gambit will be kind and make one pop up for me, Denis.
Indeed, for the costumes of dolls have been given more attention than the rest. Obviously the reason is to prevent any confusion with other characters.
Frankly looking earlier releases, I think about what form of the dolls was originally made so that you can adapt them to many of the characters. And this leads us to the sad result - in-line conveyor captures production. One gets the feeling that you can buy a Barbie doll, dress her up in costume Emmapeeler, make elegant box and sell it as a product of the Avengers. In this case, I liked the fun Gambit in the banner "dolls". This could be true.
I hope, Jay, that Santa Gambit hear our wishes and we will soon see the Gambit and Steed's dolls for the South African market. In an extreme case, I look forward for the doll "Santa Gambit".
P.S./ Great avatar, Jay! I still admire it.
