Marvel Legends Cable review

Many would call Cable a Rob Liefeld Wet Dream, but what makes him work is that he wears it proudly and isn't just some macho-man dude. He also has more of an important backstory going on, as he was once Nathan Summers as well as a married man who raised a daughter with his unnamed wife thanks to Firestar's actions indirectly resulting in the dystopian future. Oh and apparently this is a Walmart exclusive...yeah they don't tell us about anything these days. Anyways, it's time for a review on Marvel Legends Deadpool 2 Cable!

Here he is in-hand, and I have to comment on how there's somewhat of an added heft to him that is missing with the rest of the Marvel Legends figures not in his body frame. Maybe it's the materials used for the plastic, or the fact that he's slightly bigger than the other characters, but it works in his favor. Cable is generally a hefty dude, and the fact that he's got the denser plastic used to go with his appearance was very welcoming. He's got the military outfit to beef him up even further, the vest, and boots, and he looks very good aside from the boots looking slightly undersized. If you thought this action figure was too militaristic, certain details like the metal arm, the exposed metal underneath the skin, the (non-removable) teddy bear, and the head sculpt.

Head sculpt is certainly accurate to Cable in the movie, from the likeness to Josh Brolin to the haircut and coloring, and the left eye having no pupil (on top of the scars all around). I can weirdly see Thanos from the face (which makes sense given he played both Marvel characters). His articulation is very good; his head is on two joints (one at the head and another at the neck) and both are ball-joints. Shoulders move front and back, in and out, swivel st the bicep, bend at the elbows, swivel at the wrists and hinge in and out. There is a waist swivel and an ab-crunch though the bulletproof vest does hinder it somewhat. Hips move front and back, in and out, the thighs swivel, the knees bend at two points, the boots swivel, and the feet hinge up and down while the feet pivot.

Here are the accessories that he comes with, which include a large rifle, two grenade pieces, a small pistol, a cape (which is more like a cloak if we're being honest), and two weapon-holding hands that are both detailed to match their respective arms.

And here he is holding the weapons, which is always a treat to give him the weapons that Rob Liefeld wet dreams can happily take advantage of. Still, he is an excellent addition to any Marvel display, and fans of Deadpool 2 will happily get this guy and even customize him with parts of Thanos. You know that's bound to happen.

Final ranking: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and a half out of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
