Gambit has never been very interesting to me, so the colors are pretty inconsequential.

I'll get them both, but it's more than a little surprising to me to think that my favorite Hasbro Rogue is turning out to be the one I thought to be the least likely candidate: the Rogue & Pyro two-pack figure, that I initially thought was somewhat fugly, has become a dark horse fave.

But for fans that grew up on the toon - "Excelsior?"

I'll probably be picking up the new Rogue only because the original is on that horrid Moonstone body mold that's likely to fall apart the next time I try to pose her on my shelf. I'll likely keep her on the card (in a break in case of emergency scenario to be honest...) because I have some sentimental memories of hunting for the original Toybiz figure with my mother as a child, and feeling like I won the lottery when we finally found her (since female figures were so scarce in those days.)

I still think the Juggernaut wave Rogue looks fantastic, and has aged pretty well against modern female Legends. The one on the upcoming Target exclusive looks like she hasn't slept in days and is in a bit of pain from her latest round of botox injections.

@BM: I'm also in agreement with the 2 Pack Rogue. It didn't do much for me when I first saw images of it, but in hand, the Rogue from the Pyro set really grew on me. I especially like the sneering face, which I am currently using on my Outback Rogue custom and is still number one on my X-Men legends wishlist....
