It's MAHVEL, Baby!
The last figure I had to shipped to me... is the one I wanted the most,
Cable, looking just like he did in the 90's... and in Marvel VS Capcom 2. This is also the kind of
Cable I have been wanting. I settled for the other one, but this? This is the one.
He looks
damn fine. He comes equipped with two guns, a set of trigger hands, a punchy hand and a 'power grip' hand. That aside, I love the blue and yellow on this guy, I love how massive he looks, and the face sculpt is just perfect for him. That said, I do have some caveats about him... Why is one of his arms not pinless? What's up with the weird belt design? I thought we weren't doing loose straps anymore? These are small gripes,
admittedly, but, c'mon, Hasbro can do better.
Articulation-wise, he has everything your typical Marvel Legends hands, albeit no butterfly joints. His ab crunch works on a hinge and his waist on a swivel. It works well. He is quite a bit taller than Bucky Cap, as he should!
As one can see, the flesh arm has pins on them, why? It looks so
weird when his legs and other arm are pinless.
This is the weird belt design. I'm sure they could've figured out something better, they did with VHS Cyclops, and I'm sure a similar design would've worked here over...
over this.
Here are the loose leg straps. At least it seems like they have a hard time going downward due to the thickness of his legs, but, once again, they got it right with VHS Cyclops, so what gives?
And I forgot to mention, bending the knees break ups the knee pads from the boot. This one was probably tougher to solve, but still.
Despite my gripes, I'm
satisfied with this Cable... but that's just it, I'm
JUST satisfied. It's a very good figure, but with a few tweaks, tweaks that they have ALREADY used on other figures, it could've been amazing. They
should've gone the extra mile to release the definitive Cable. Still, I must insist, I'm happy with the figure. It is my favorite Cable. But it could've been remarkable.
