The timing couldn't be better, we're getting a Marvel VS. Capcom fighting game collection.

Never thought I'd see the day you'd review a Marvel Legend more positively than Xmanny87 lol

My favorite look is with the big shoulderpads and pouches. The artists went HAM in the 90s when they would draw him. They didnt care if his design made sense, just make him look cool with guns the size of motorcycles.

They could have just used his later episode X-Men 97 design since it's basically the same thing.

It's nice to know that Hasbro has some Marvel VS Capcom fans working for them. When I saw the Modular Iron Man with the Proton cannon I thought that would be a one off. Then I saw the War Machine that was just the Modular armor in different colors from Marvel VS Capcom. Now they give us Cable who is head to tow based on his MVC 2 look. It gives me hope we could one day get a Capcom style Sentinel.

AC, Ive come to appreciate your reviews for what they are. I find myself cracking up sometimes over some of the critiques. You are funny without trying to be sometimes. You are by far the most critical reviewer, which I like because thats your niche, and separates you from other reviewers. I watch different reviewers for different reasons. Sometimes if I know Im really excited about a fig and Im going to get it regardless, I wont watch your review beforehand (but i will eventually) because I dont want to hear something that might change my mind. But if its a fig Im on the fence about or just generally curious about, Ill come to you because I know you'll tell me everything I need to know, whether I eventually buy it or not. And on the other hand, if you give something a raving positive review, I would probably just buy it, whether I was previously interested or not, because it passed your high standards, which would immediately spark my interest. Cable is always one of my faves, and I preordered this asap and loving it and glad to see you do as well. Thanks and keep up the Michelin 5 Star standards. Its why I keep sitting at your table.😂

Happy Father's Day Anthony. Thanks for your efforts today on this one. It would appear that ML has designed an appropriate rendition of Cable that reflects the MvC game. It would also seem that the buck has function more-so than most ML's. That boot cut is very apparent with the lack of yellow paint on the calf. Still, I am glad I saw your review on a ML candidate for Top 10 figures of 2024. 9/10 is a definite buy.

@AnthonysCustoms

Ай бұрын

Thanks

Im not big on ML much anymore but I grabbed this guy.. I quite like him. If you use the “bare arm” mod he’s even better lol. He fits in with my Mafex Jim Lee X-Men perfectly.

Really love the upper part of this figure, like the aesthetic and overall build of Cable, probably my favourite headsculpt of his to date. If they had just done a new lower body, most seems to be retro Hercules, it would've been a knockout! But overall just a really clean looking figure. Happy Father's day Anthony!

I got this for my youngest son and he loves its simplicity while retaining some of Cable's look. I reckon if you love Marvel vs Capcom 2 then this figure is for you as opposed to the comic book version w/ all the Liefeld artistic tropes. Great video!

I like it when the elbows are like that. Punching with a bent arm looks awkward when they make the elbows that can go 180°.

I've seen a customizer swap his right arm out from below the shoulder with a Hercules(retro collection) arm to recreate the artwork on the back , looks pretty good after adding some additional pouches.

Q of the Day: This is not only my favorite look for Cable. It’s the only look that interests me. I’ve never been a big Cable/X-Force fan, and I find most of his other iconic looks to be more military than superhero. The colors are pretty garish on most of those costumes as well. This look is just more aesthetically pleasing to me.

Passed on this guy originally because I have the Revoltech (which is probably the greatest figure I own) but I found him for $50 today bundled with Namor so I had to buy him. Super excited.

If the thighs weren't so short this would've been potentially the best ml of the year for me.

I’m partial to the original cartoon version. The one from Sasquatch BAF wave.

Despite the lack of paint, the colors really pop and are a big part of why the figure appeals to me. Can't wait to have it.

Been curious to heat your thoughts on this figure. I like it alot. Could use a couple more hands and better guns but overall I like the figure. To answer question of the day I like you love this design due to MvC2.

This is one of those weird licensing zonings. This costume 1 to 1 never appeared in the comics. Theres been close depending on the panel and inconsistencies with art, but its really a video game simplification of the art they put on the box. I guess Capcom owns the art this is based on and thatd be a totally different license? Thats been whats plagued games like this for ages, the rights are all scrambled and shared youve gotta get multiple billion dollar companies on the same page.

So wait, those shoulders have been used before? I really like what they’re trying to go for with them and I hope they continue improving with things like this. I feel doing shoulders like this make raising arms a bit more natural and don’t have that huge awkward gap between the arms and the neck when raising the arms. I was really surprised with them and, again, I hope has to keeps finding new ways to improve their figures! (I know, I know, 1 step forward, 5 step backwards for them, but, so long as they do new things like this, I’ll be happy!) really like this figure!! Solid release!! 😊😊👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Well he started dressing this way in the comics in the mid 90s, so MvC was just adapting his current look at the time. I do like this look, but i prefer his more iconic look seen in the 90s cartoon

The fact that the MvC collection just got announced too makes this figure really hype to get

12:46 this is why I cherry-pick recent Marvel Legends instead of going into completionist mode

Looking forward to this guy arriving in scotland though he REALLY needs his MVC2 bigass rifle, or an out of character minigun because it's cable

Hi Anthony! I've been thinking about removing the arm of mine to add a skin color to it. Would you recommend it? I'm no customizer so idk if removing the arm from the shoulder would be a good idea. Not terrified about the paiting tho

@AnthonysCustoms

16 күн бұрын

You could end up with a bit of work to swap those arms. Don't do it unless you're prepared to have a broken figure or a repaired figure

Personally I like the weird shoulder on top of ball joint for exactly your reasoning of it raising the shoulders higher, more naturally. I like it more than the dislike of having that huge unsightly ball where the armpit should be when the shoulder is raised. That said, they could've smoothed out the ball tumor a bit. Cut away the plastic and make for a more indented look, to simulate an armpit.

Great review and i love this marvel vs capcom look, wish i had iron man with the proton cannon, also i just got megaman so the mvc2 roster is slowly being comoleted, the jada street fighters also fit in perfectly

In one of your last videos i mentioned Marvel Legends needs a redesign aesthetic wise. Should the entire line have a homogeneous look to it ie "house style? Or maybe base each "franchise" (Spider-Man related characters, X-Men, Avengers, etc) on a particular style ie Jim Lee for X-Men, McFarlane for Spider-Man, George Perez for Avengers, John Byrne F4, etc...

How do you feel about Hasbro skipping the blue paint on the sides of his trunks? I was kinda expecting them to forego it because it's kinda unnecessary (and cost like .002 cents more per fig), but does lean more into the look and -sculpt- that they were going for.

this is my favorite look and boot paint aside he's pretty darn good!

Been waiting 20 years for this figure! Huge mvc2 fan, they released quite a few "secretly" hope they keep making more.

I can’t wait to have this Cable in my ranks. Cable is in my top 7 X-Men characters (Wolverine, Magneto, Gladiator, Apocalypse, Sabretooth, Mr Sinister).

Probably this. MvC2 is a large reason for this but also this suit fits in with the Jim Lee era suits and it makes him look more heroic/less reliant on firearms. With all the gun rounds and shoulder armor it looks like he's always going to war.

I know what Thor figure you mean. It's not the same arm. Because the armored Thor arm is not double-jointed, while the cable's robot arm is. (Not really a robot arm but a techno-organic virus that consumed his arm. I'm wondering if you will get the shield three-pack. Dum Dum is one of my favorites so far. Curious to see your opinion. And if you review the Sharon Carter figure...that will be like a kind of sorta black widow review you didn't get to do. Because you said you couldn't find her. But Sharon is a repaint. So it would be like the same thing, cause I would love to know your thoughts on that female body.

More color in comic book movies would definitely be amazing. For some reason the people making superhero movies still seem to be embarrassed about the source material like $20B in movie ticket sales later and they still try and make the costumes more "real world", which apparently means dark and autumn and broody. Remember the quip by Cyclops to Wolverine: "Well, what would you prefer, yellow spandex?"
