Now that hes going to be wearing this outfit in xmen 97 this figure is going to be snapped up imo. Bit of a downgrade to his standard 90s look but ill take it as its a cable on my shelf lol.
Great review. I hope you don’t mind. I shared your review on Reddit. Direct link, not posted video. I also shared some screenshots so that people can see the size comparisons. Hopefully it brings more views on your video. Let me know if you want me to remove the post though.
Look at the wittle tiny baby guns. The figure is awesome but I'm gonna have to buy a G.I Joe to get him and Bishop their proper size guns. These men are from the future the guns are huge. Plus I don't like that we are still getting pins in 2024. The prices are up, raise the quality the same.
This figure looks amazing! I'm looking forward to getting it! Looks like they didn't add the blue part to the trunks. To be honest I never noticed it until someone pointed out to me. so I don't mind. Thanks for the head swaps. The only other head swap I would have liked to see would have been on the Strife body.
Your Cable has some QC. Unless they changed it on the final product, the crotch piece is supposed to have blue paint on the sides. 5:39 This head could also be a good unhelmeted Stryfe head.
It doesn't bug me, but yes, the paint is skimmed on. My copy is a regular release, not a production sample. I bought another case for a friend, and Cable is likewise missing the blue paint apps on the side of his pants
This was a design decision made after the initial reveal - I read about it a couple weeks ago. I know the cut is supposed to be higher but the method they used to achieve it looked poor in my opinion. I am happy with the change.
I do love Cable because he is a badass Marvel time travel character like Bishop despite the fact that I don't have a Cable figure so I might try to get this very awesome comic Marvel vs Capcom style Cable from Amazon or GameStop.
This is the version the used for the videogame marvel vs capcom 2, I love it but I've been wating for the marvel universe version with the big rifle spear and the baby hope attached to his chest
I am shaking with excitement watching this video for my most anticipated ML of the year. Just wish the video was even longer. The chest harness need to sit a little lower. The legs are a little small, but not a deal breaker. Can't wait to get him! Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the heads up in the Red Widow video's comments section! Im looking forward to getting this Cable in hand.. thankfully i got my preorder in at Amazon before he SOLD OUT .. he's also sold out at BBTS as well.. Now the only thing i have to do is figure out which Cable im going use in my X Men display..i might take the Apocalypse wave Cables big gun & give it to this version... we'll see.. Anyways keep up the great work brother..im looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
I have watched your video a few times, don’t see if I commented. I am excited for this guy. I do think his colors are too bright for me, which I’ll remedy. I never played Marvel vs. Capcom and didn’t care for this similar suit in the comics back in the 90s. I’m going to dull down the colors, mustard yellow and browns rather than the bright lemon. I may even do a boot swap. I am very excited for this figure, despite my customization plans.
Not bad looking. Not amazing but decent work from hasbro. Best cable head at least from Hasbro so far. Looks decent overall. Still a reuse of the Hercules body. Its a decent bodysculpt. Sizing is ok since the blue jellow version/capcom version of cable also sometimes looks a bit smaller in the game or comics then his supposed to be 6'8" 350lbs the character should be.
This will be the first Marvel Legends Cable that I keep. I’ve sold off every other one I’ve ever had, because I’ve never been a big fan of his more popular looks, but this version really appeals to me for some reason. Like you, I prefer the brighter colors, and the details in the uniform seem a lot cleaner and less exaggerated.
I hoped that we get a marvel legends deluxe Smart Hulk (from marvel vs capcom game) figure soon but also a remakes of ultimates Iron man, Spider-Man and Thor too😊
I wish the blue was closer to the '97 blue but I know he's not meant to go with them. But that's my intentions with this figure. Since it seems we might be in for a long wait for a wave 3. And even then, good chance he's not in it.
maybe don’t put your hands so much in the video because people take screenshots especially when you have the figures early, the hands ruin the screenshots
Finally a review! My only complain is that the calf should've been cast all yellow, when you bent the knees the kneepad separates from the painted area leaving a gap in blue. I don't know why they chose it that way, well they knew we'll buy it anyways. Can't wait for mine!
Still the best action figure reviews on YT. No lie. You keep it on point and succinct, highlight what we need to know, and have industry knowledge to share. When can you do some Lives so we can meet you and have some fun??
Awesome review thanks! I think from the waist up this figure looks great! The legs are so small. Also wish they cast the knee down yellow, bc with the knee bent the break in the yellow boot is a bad choice. Sorry for the negativity haha, I was so excited for this release but now I’m mixed so thanks again for the review
No worries, I hope this video helps u make a good decision. U don't have to like or agree with everything I say. Just Form your own opinion and you're better for it 💪🏻
@@xcorpeo thank you ✌🏼, its just that i noticed that new legends nowadays feels like hollow, compare to old legend figures. Hasbro using cheap plastic for new legends these days 😓
I wish they would’ve made his right arm sleeveless like the picture on the back of the box. Would’ve been 10X better. Found a hack using a Hercules figure. If I find a Hercules for cheap I’ll customize it myself. Otherwise solid looking figure!
Cable here is not 'top heavey' if he matches the aethstetic of Marvel Versus Capcom 2. That was the primary goal! I had the previous Cable. (And Domino). But the plastic poured was terrible and every sprew place was ringed out like the inside of a tree!! I returned them to Target or Walgreens, wherever it was. I was so happy so have found them. Then SO disappointed. Does this new version of Cable have a good finish, or is he marbled or something?
How did you get this already?! Impossible! My most anticipated figure of the year, been waiting for this mvc2 cable for decades. He sold out everywhere, hopefully I can find him for retail pricing.
I was wondering why they suddenly announced his "mutant savior" costume a few months back, then the most recent episode of X-men 97 aired. Clever Hasbro, clever.
I'm suprised more people don't dislike the straps. Really bothers me that they're inside his body, and the tabs on the front don't work for me. Glad people are happy I guess, just suprised
I'm very glad I pre-ordered this figure from Amazon and it comes just in time for my birthday 🎂 🥳. Great review and great figure for marvel legends fans but also Marvel Vs. Capcom fans alike.
Do you think the stuff from the Sasquatch wave Cable could work with this version? Like, the pauldrons and stuff from the torso. I guess some mods would be required, but do you think it's possible? Thanks for the review, this is the only figure I want from that wave and I really wanted to see an early opinion :P
Agree with why use the right arm with pins and giving him a larger blaster. Cable likes his blaster. I so see this getting reuse with a darker shade later on…
Off topic: I draw. And I wonder what you guys think, if you draw, is the best action figure to model for me if I'm looking for muscular, mostly realistic, context. Like, I do not want to spend $100. Or else the answer to this question gets a lot easier. I'm saying, Marvel Legends, Diamond Select, GI Joe. Maybe SH Figuarts -- but still, that's pricey! I think, ML silver surfer. Or sh Figuarts Bruce Lee for higher end. What do you say?
@xcorpeo do you love his Vulcan glove seem? Lol. This is what I'm talking about when I say I hate Marvel Legends. It's not acceptable! They didn't need to do this to their customers!! They don't care, taking us for granted. They deserve to be fired, who ever is running this studio! They'll get fired if we stop buying! But yeah, I think other than that, he looks real good. Seems to be well articulated.
@@Abbotttdesign haha there's nothing natural looking about that seam. Ka-Zar's proportions are great and with the lean muscle sculpting. That's why I'd recommend it as a good barebones figure for drawing, if u can ignore the seam. But he's due so much other stuff like necklace & straps etc
Yep I collect Legends, Classified Series, Black Series, Transformers and other lines like Storm Collectibles, Mafex, Neca, third party transformers, Four Horsemen studios
Now that hes going to be wearing this outfit in xmen 97 this figure is going to be snapped up imo. Bit of a downgrade to his standard 90s look but ill take it as its a cable on my shelf lol.
This is the best version of cable, mainly due to mvc2
Too bad he's sold out everywhere
The proportions looks good to me, a cómic muscular character
Great review. I hope you don’t mind. I shared your review on Reddit. Direct link, not posted video. I also shared some screenshots so that people can see the size comparisons. Hopefully it brings more views on your video. Let me know if you want me to remove the post though.
Nah its cool
That strap system for the torso is genius
Gutafak si es el mismísimo Dprime
Oh dang! No butterfly hinge! The Omega Red Body is the best! Sabertooth, Venom, they have that now. Why not Cable on the same buck?!
that face would be better on a frank castle figure
Look at the wittle tiny baby guns. The figure is awesome but I'm gonna have to buy a G.I Joe to get him and Bishop their proper size guns. These men are from the future the guns are huge. Plus I don't like that we are still getting pins in 2024. The prices are up, raise the quality the same.
I'll use one of these silly big model kit mecha guns for him ruclips.net/user/shortspvFa1gIb1F0?si=ccLIvWoUDz8xoaXJ
The arms are from old figures, from the Hercules figure.
This figure looks amazing! I'm looking forward to getting it!
Looks like they didn't add the blue part to the trunks. To be honest I never noticed it until someone pointed out to me. so I don't mind.
Thanks for the head swaps. The only other head swap I would have liked to see would have been on the Strife body.

Good eyes! Didn't see that until you pointed it out. But I do prefer it being yellow throughout lol.

This was a design decision made after the initial reveal - I read about it a couple weeks ago. I know the cut is supposed to be higher but the method they used to achieve it looked poor in my opinion. I am happy with the change.
Yes it is a good unmasked head for Stryfe
Personally I don’t like visible pins on the joints. If they bothered to make pin less legs just do the entire figure the same. 🤷🏻♂️
as always great reviews. And also early. I can’t wait to get my cable as he’s one of my favorite marvel characters.
I really want to see this figure with the shoulder pads from the old Toybiz version.
I do love Cable because he is a badass Marvel time travel character like Bishop despite the fact that I don't have a Cable figure so I might try to get this very awesome comic Marvel vs Capcom style Cable from Amazon or GameStop.
Good luck with that my frand, he sold out on Amazon and gamestop 😢
This one would be a easy pickup is it was using the ultimate captain America body type. Old use of body 👋👎
outdated pinned arm and no big guns. absolutely pass lazy hashblow
I see they brought back the window bubble case, just logical.
I SO need this figure! This figure, and the upcoming Ghost Rider Danny Ketch with bike, are the big must haves for me this year.
thanks for the review man, always love your insight
Why not make the metal arm with the pin and the right arm painless. That would've made more sense
This is the best look he has ever had and his best run in the comics, which is the mid 90s
This is the version the used for the videogame marvel vs capcom 2, I love it but I've been wating for the marvel universe version with the big rifle spear and the baby hope attached to his chest
I like the dressed for war/geared up version better. But this is also a must have!
Is the recent bishop taller than cable? maybe the legs could be swapped and modded in order to correct the proportions?
He looks awesome but it's really funny to me that the pic on the back is so different then the figure they gave us lol
I am shaking with excitement watching this video for my most anticipated ML of the year. Just wish the video was even longer. The chest harness need to sit a little lower. The legs are a little small, but not a deal breaker. Can't wait to get him! Thanks for the vid!
Thighs are a tad short… these companies have to pay closer attention to proportions. Mandatory pickup none the less

Thank you for the kind words!
Hopefully when the full release hits they have rhe blue paint on his trunks , its missing here when it was there on the pulse stream
Is he using the hercules buck?
I have watched your video a few times, don’t see if I commented.
I am excited for this guy. I do think his colors are too bright for me, which I’ll remedy. I never played Marvel vs. Capcom and didn’t care for this similar suit in the comics back in the 90s.

I am very excited for this figure, despite my customization plans.
Customising is exciting! All the best
I love the head swaps. I still prefer the one with baggy shoulder pads.
An almost perfect cable, I'd look past the height but marvel should stop mismatching pins with pinless joints
TBH it doesn't bug me but I did notice the molding on that arm feels a little rough
You and anthonyscustoms are the only two I trust. And can even stand, for that matter. Thanks again for all your content
Anthony is great, I enjoy his videos too ✌🏼 He does go pretty hard sometimes 😂
I would much rather that than a disingenuous shill who would accept slop
Xmanny, dan who and shartimus?😂
I might add a few more to that list. Those three in particular are unwatchable for me.
Anthony is a clown! He is Buzz Killington
sold out everywhere in canada but managed to find a spot to preorder it. arriving on may 30th
Congrats
A first-rate review of Cable and his accessories!
The best figure of the wave FS. Lame execution of the pin arm, lol, only Hasbro.
Why did Hasbro use the one pinned arm?? 🤦🏻
They always have to skim on cost somewhere when they really didn’t need to.
Hopefully this figure actually shows up in stores near me. Marvel Legends is getting expensive and my area is full of scalpers/flippers.
Lol good luck with that, he's sold out most online shops 😢I doubt he'll appear in retail, unless scalpers do what they do best...
@@suhtangwong Oh no. Well, I guess I can dream. 😬
Not bad looking. Not amazing but decent work from hasbro. Best cable head at least from Hasbro so far. Looks decent overall. Still a reuse of the Hercules body. Its a decent bodysculpt.

Like you, I prefer the brighter colors, and the details in the uniform seem a lot cleaner and less exaggerated.
This is considerably his most popular iconic look, because of mvc2.
At least this one doesn't have a huge head like the Cyclops and Sabretooth ones, a recurrent Hasbro issue that needs to be fixed now.
I hoped that we get a marvel legends deluxe Smart Hulk (from marvel vs capcom game) figure soon but also a remakes of ultimates Iron man, Spider-Man and Thor too😊
Cool figure. Just disappointing that a viper/hyper viper beam gun was made as an accessory.
Now if only jada can make some alpha figures then we can get some MvC2 action in plastic form.
Would love to see a comparison with the Amazing Yamaguchi. Nobody is doing this one
im very.. dissapointed no butterfly joints 😏
Nice review we’re did you get this from because you got this before anyone I know 👍👍
I find it mildly bothersome when that always use box art that rarely matches that figure it's supposed to be for. Seems silly.
Excellent figure. Hasbro had to be Hasbro though by not giving us a bigger weapon for him and using that old right arm with pins.
I wish the blue was closer to the '97 blue but I know he's not meant to go with them. But that's my intentions with this figure. Since it seems we might be in for a long wait for a wave 3. And even then, good chance he's not in it.
maybe don’t put your hands so much in the video because people take screenshots especially when you have the figures early, the hands ruin the screenshots
most of marvel legends figures skipped leg day.. sadly. even ghost rider
Finally a review! My only complain is that the calf should've been cast all yellow, when you bent the knees the kneepad separates from the painted area leaving a gap in blue. I don't know why they chose it that way, well they knew we'll buy it anyways. Can't wait for mine!
I’m happy they fix his yellow underwear in the promo pictures it was yellow then blue on his sides
Good God! do we need a updated Warpath badly, he's supposed to be 7'8" compare to Cable 6'3''
Gibbs from NCIS in a much cooler dimension.
Still the best action figure reviews on YT. No lie. You keep it on point and succinct, highlight what we need to know, and have industry knowledge to share.
When can you do some Lives so we can meet you and have some fun??
I really wish we would have gotten different guns, I know that those are just Nerf gun designs cast in gunmetal
I’ve loved the journey of collecting marvel legends but I feel they are coming to an end .other companies are doing so much more for value for money .
Cable marvel vs Capcom is sick !!!! Take my money 💵💵
I hate we have those packaging back lol. I like the new new ones tho
I like this figure but if it match the art it would match the xmen yellow suit figures that came out.
That cracks me up that he has one arm with pins and no other joint. Come on Hasbro, WTH?
Awesome review thanks! I think from the waist up this figure looks great! The legs are so small. Also wish they cast the knee down yellow, bc with the knee bent the break in the yellow boot is a bad choice.

@@xcorpeo your early reviews have helped me many times, thanks!
Just want to ask, is the materials used in this cable feels a little bit cheap? Or is it just ok?
It's OK. Regular legends plastic. Gummy enough not to break but those hips can be tricky to pose
@@xcorpeo thank you ✌🏼, its just that i noticed that new legends nowadays feels like hollow, compare to old legend figures. Hasbro using cheap plastic for new legends these days 😓
Too bad it's not on a retro card. I only collect marvel legend retro cards.
Wow 😮 that does look really good 😍👍
Hasbro messed up again on height.
Why would they still include pins….
The 90s design looks better. 🤦
Anyone notice he’s got nerf guns 😂😂
That Cable looks like William Regal.
I wish they would’ve made his right arm sleeveless like the picture on the back of the box. Would’ve been 10X better. Found a hack using a Hercules figure. If I find a Hercules for cheap I’ll customize it myself. Otherwise solid looking figure!
Hercules is so hard to find though!
Zabu? i guess Ka-zar will pop up : P
Cable here is not 'top heavey' if he matches the aethstetic of Marvel Versus Capcom 2. That was the primary goal!

Slight marbling on his metal arm, but not much else visible on his body
How did you get this already?! Impossible! My most anticipated figure of the year, been waiting for this mvc2 cable for decades. He sold out everywhere, hopefully I can find him for retail pricing.
Good luck!
Great review! I wonder if Hercules arm would pop on this figure to match the image on the back of box!!
Quite likely u can pop & swap at the bicep swivel
Loving the head swaps
I was wondering why they suddenly announced his "mutant savior" costume a few months back, then the most recent episode of X-men 97 aired. Clever Hasbro, clever.
I think the show was finished months ahead, and of course they already knew Cable was gonna be in blue and yellow before announcing the figure
Amazing! 👏👏👏
I'm suprised more people don't dislike the straps. Really bothers me that they're inside his body, and the tabs on the front don't work for me. Glad people are happy I guess, just suprised
I think it's neat but weird, innovative yet doesn't look right, if u get what I mean.
I'm very glad I pre-ordered this figure from Amazon and it comes just in time for my birthday 🎂 🥳. Great review and great figure for marvel legends fans but also Marvel Vs. Capcom fans alike.

"Viper Beam!"
Looks fantastic.
5:20 heck yeah! I’m rocking that head sculpt! I like the cable that looks like he is from a drab filled post apocalyptic world.
Looks awesome
4:25 😱😱😱
I think I might need to get this figure after watching this video honestly
already have one..what a nice best looking figure
