They did a lot for awhile. My boys recently went hard into some Nerf. So naturally I picked up a bunch of them at thrift stores on the cheap. Got looking and “huh, I’m pretty I have this in 1/12 scale” haha
Not gonna lie Cable and Bishop are my personal favorite X-MEN time travelers because they do have very badass powers and very dope ass guns, I may not have this Cable figure but my friend might get him, Great review on Nathan Summers aka Cable.
I passed on pre-ordering this one because I really prefer the Liefeld inspired figure with the big shoulder pads and the more military style uniform, as opposed to the blue and yellow spandex look. The early 90's / New Mutants / X-Force Cable is the look I think of when I think of the character. So that older Cable figure is good for me. But this one looks pretty cool for what it is.
First off, you always give us a great review on figures like this one, and BAM! You did it again! Nice job, amigo! I'm still waiting for this one to arrive so I can put the left hind leg on Zabu! This is a great looking Cable figure. My favorite one so far, but I agree with you assessment. It certainly looks a bit Capcom-ish. The head sculpt is really nice. I wish that his belt pouches were painted brown. I think it would keep that yellow from overpowering things. Yellow can look very "toy-like" on action figures, so any time extra paint can be applied to things like those straps or those pouches is always gonna be a plus. I wish he did have the sculpted boots, but I can live with the painted-on look. Still, I'm looking forward to having this one in my collection. It certainly represents the character to me, and I dig him. I'm probably gonna use a brown Gundam marker pen in the grooves on his straps. I think that will add a lot to the detail. A little drybrushing might make those pistols pop more, so I think I'll try that.
I might be wrong but I remember the knee pads actually being part of the boot in mvc2. So if accuracy was the goal they should’ve attached them to the lower leg instead of the knee
I can’t wait to get this figure in hand, the headsculpt is so good it has me thinking how it would look as a custom Bruce Wayne or Slade Wilson or even Frank Castle.
You could swap out the entire lower leg. You can still swap pinless parts by heating it, slicing just one side of the leg to the right or left of the disc on the lower leg and slotting another leg with a compatible peg hole. You could likely easily adjust the width of the replacement knee disc, if needed, with a dremel. And I find that it still holds the replacement piece very well once you let the plastic cool down. Even with one side of its peg technically cut. Or you could just replace the boot at the ankle swivel if we have compatible slots... I will probably do that and paint the boot yellow. But I think I will also be removing the paint from just above the ankle swivel.
my first cable I ever got as a kid was this jumbo sized cable that you could put these discs into and you could switch on the lights and project pictures on the wall from the xmen animated show. I played with that thing all christmas day and weekend haha. I managed to get a super late preorder for this cable on hasbro pulse when they added more stock at like 2:00am one night, it just shipped so i'm stoked to finally get another cable.
The fact that his human arm has pins and his bionic arm is pinless is kind of comedy on the marvel team lol! I still like him but he seems to not want to come back in stock on bbts or pulse lol! Oh and I am not paying those eBay prices for him ✨ Good review
If it was me I´ll put the lower leg piece all yellow like in the videogame because I think is very inspired in that look, and they nail it... mostly. Too bad they backtracked in another detail on the production release. Oh well. Nice review tho!
I wish they would have given him a metal hand instead of the blue glove. Agree with you on it should have been all pin less. Definitely will pickup for my X-Men shelf though
I think this is based on Cable #15 from back in the 90's, the MvC look is based on it but with slight differences. The box are is from Cable 16 and he kept the sleeveless look after
For what it is, I love it, it’s cable, it’s a no brainer pickup. But I’m definitely going to swap out the right arm with a Hercules and give him 2 pack Deadpool’s thigh pouches. No idea where to get a decent chonky gun, but I may give him a cobra viper rifle as a stand in.
I see him as a bit bigger/muscular. I see him like a football player - bigger and taller. Revoltech seems closer to what I have in mind. But the metal arm sculpt is good.
If you don't mind putting in the work to mod the boots, I think giving him Thunder strike's boots would do this figure justice to make look him look more like his box art. Afterwords you can just color all his punches and stuff brown
They should get a Psi-mitar weapon on one of these cables at some point. I would also like the most articulation you can get. That’s how it needs to work. It gets boring to say the same thing. As I’m sure it gets tiring to read my comments. Any figure out there should know that for the future. Fully articulated. There are so many toys out there at this point so every point of articulation should come baked in to any figure. Double knees. Double elbow. Neck head butterfly. Ankle rocker etc etc. shouldn’t even be a comment at this point.
5:58 They're supposed to be knee-high boots with the knee pads attached at the top. So they should've been designed like Thor's boots. 8:18 Could be because they're Nerf guns. Their designs are from the Nerf Vagabond and Nerf Barrel Break IX-2. It's NERF or nothin'. 12:52 '97 Bishop's gun is more like his MvC2 gun.
I have poured at least a couple thousand dollars into my marvel legends collection alone and I do not have one completed build a figure. All the waves I did complete were ironically without a BAF
@@UnparalleledUniverse 100%...seems like that's just the deal when it comes to Cable figures overall. Hoping for something that gets at least "close enough" to the ideal, similar to what we've gotten for Black Widow, the Lizard, or Scarlet Spider recently.
I've wanted this Cable for MvC, but too many issues here for me. Outdated joints, weapons amiss, enormous feet, mixing pinless with pins. Great idea Hasbro, but not like this. Someday maybe Mafex, for now easy to miss.

Fun fact, those guns he comes with friends scaled down versions of nerf guns Hasbro used to make

I want a 2 pack for both of them together with accessories in the next one.
(Cable & Bishop)
Man… Im proud of you and how you pushing out the Videos
Thanks homie! Im trying to bang out as much as possible before SDCC and the Odious release! It’s gonna be a good summer ahha
This figure really needed the giant gun Cable uses in MVC game.
Idk why they didn’t include that and gave him those little baby pistols smh
this shoulda been a deluxe figure like they did with MvC Iron Man and gave it his Viper Beam gun with some cool beam/blast effects.
Deep Sea Cable! Air Assault Cable! Deep Space Armor Cable!
I definitely dig the bare arm look with a pouch belt around the arm
This look is awesome. I want a modern Liefield pouch take as well someday down the road.
Hands down Best cable outfit imo

You are right the boot goes all the way up to the knee, that part should be all yellow.

i think i might get that cable now. thanks man

It’s always weird when they put art work on the box that doesn’t match the figure.
I really need the Revoltech to get a reissue but this one is gonna be a great for my MvC display
That would be insane.
Your video Resolution is out of this world, love the close shots
Nice review I just got the figure today
Amazing review like Always! :) i think... the mezco head on this body looks the best.. am I crazy? :)

I still have the Cyclops version of that toy I bought as a kid loose in one of my bins.
they should have put those boot "bands" like the mezco one has on the calf above the swivel of the ML one if only just to make the design flow better

Good review
Now that I've been thinking about it for a few minutes, I think I would have preferred a bare, right arm on the figure.
If it was me I´ll put the lower leg piece all yellow like in the videogame because I think is very inspired in that look, and they nail it... mostly. Too bad they backtracked in another detail on the production release. Oh well. Nice review tho!
Where did you buy your Cyclops custom head for the X-Factor Mafex’s Cyclops.
I wish they would have given him a metal hand instead of the blue glove. Agree with you on it should have been all pin less. Definitely will pickup for my X-Men shelf though
I think this is based on Cable #15 from back in the 90's, the MvC look is based on it but with slight differences. The box are is from Cable 16 and he kept the sleeveless look after
Hahaha even your (face beard and all) it’s a better Cable head than the Yamaguchi one 😂
Great review man
I seen someone do an arm swap with hercules so that it matches the box art and xmen 97. Will probably do it when i eventually get mine
Better Thunderstrike than Hercules.
You say the Marvel vs Capcom version but this uniform debuted in the comics long before that.
I might be a little bias here when it comes to my love for Cable, but for me, this is my favorite legend of the year along with Jack O Lantern.
I gonna take you for a ride 🎶
Waiting for Mayfex Cable
Yellow and blue team xmen legs could be a good leg swap. Also remove the yellow paint below the knee
I already own this figure but i still had to watch your vid 😅

You forgot the brow armor cable that was part of the juggernaut wave from 2016
wish I could find this figure ANYWHERE...
They should have included an alternate metal arm with the splayed out cable effect. Yknow like his namesake lol
They should get a Psi-mitar weapon on one of these cables at some point. I would also like the most articulation you can get. That’s how it needs to work. It gets boring to say the same thing.

Dam those Mezco cables are a mess
Wow I didnt know the mezco cables were that small lolol
I don't think they did as well with Cable as they did with the retro She-Hulk.
viper beam viper beam hyper viper beam
A lot to like here, but the lower legs just kill it for me. Great review though.
Yeah, the figure has some great stuff going for it on one side and then it’s half ass on the other side haha

A little under sized for Cabel, but an awesome looking figure.
Hasbro has only done 2 modern Cables, not counting the early Dark Days Of Hasbro
i want an updated jim lee bishop not that 97 bishhop...
Need an Og Animated Series Cable.
Pew pew pew 🔪🔪🔪🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for showing that Revoltech head swap... the head is the only reason I'm getting this dull figure . The Revoltech Cable was just a game changer.
Shit fast and awesome!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
SCIMITAR ! ! !
Someone shoulda told Cable not to skip leg day
The Mezco version a still superior imo
ofc it is lol
That brother looks like he's wearing pajamas lol
lol no, baby faced Cable is meh, not mention the shitty articulation.
swap hercs arm with his or vise versa whatever lol you know what i meant
Is it just me or have Marvel Legends gotten more expensive as of lately?
Just like everything else in this world
It's just you
@@frobafettnice cope
Hey
Hey yo!
I thought this review would sway me lol it did not help me with my decision
Hey he’s not a perfect figure. He’s dope but its got some wack shit going on
@@UnparalleledUniverse it’s the legs lol they throwing off the entire figure for me
If you got Hercules, pop off the arm and put it on Cable.
Pin arm is a nonsense on 2024.
The fact that his human arm has pins and his bionic arm is pinless is kind of comedy on the marvel team lol! I still like him but he seems to not want to come back in stock on bbts or pulse lol! Oh and I am not paying those eBay prices for him ✨
