Thank you! You just saved me $100. Canceled my pre order through big bad as soon as I saw the size comparison. I'm big on scale and this dude is 6'8 350lbs. No way he should be slightly taller than a Mafex Wolverine and shorter than 6'3 190lb Scott Summers in the same toy line. Looks good outside that but I should not have to modify a $100 figure. Thanks again.
I'm glad I could help bro. Not being able to accept the scale is totally understandable but for me I'm just enjoying the figure on an individual bases.......its a cop out, I know 😂 but I just like it.
@@UnparalleledUniverse It's not a cop out. They're fictional characters, and have no "real" weight or height. I have the standard release and love it but, like you, I have huge affection for this look. If I see it and have the cash, I'm going to get him. Period.
It's a nostalgic thing for me. I already bought him today before seeing the scale size which is a bit of a let down. But marvel vs capcom 2 memories sold me on this.
My local comic shop stopped ordering them due to poor sales. So apparently, the whole line isn't nearly as popular as it was just a few years back. I got a small collection of them, but I'd honestly rather spend the big bucks for a Mafex comic figure. Something that looks like the comics/cartoon.
@@Chalor. yea, because a lot of people see through cloth goods and started to look into scale and proportion after the initial "omg, 1/12 scale figure with cloth goods" shock subsided and then you now have other company that makes 1/12 scale figure with cloth goods that actually looks human when it is based on real actors.
I thought those were called Revoltech figures, or is Amazing Yamaguchi a different line? Man, why do all these Japanese companies have like three different names, it's confusing.
@@Chalor. Kaiyodo is the brand. Revoltech line actually ended in 2014. Amazing Yamaguchi is from the Figure Complex line after the end of the original Revoltech Line. Original Revoltech line actually didn't have any scale and each figure is sculpted by various artists. The Figure Complex line is mainly all done by Yamaguchi Katsuhisa which we start to see a consistent scale. The goal of the Revoltech line and now the Figure complex stuff is meant to be a posable statue which took the idea of their garage kits and add universal joints to them to make it posable. It is also why they're mostly very stylized unless they're characters with a set design like Woody. so certain reviewer always claim the revoltech stuff has bad design and bad joints (they should've done this and that like regular action figure) etc, simply because he has no clue.
@@FrankW1029 You can call out Anthonysgarbagecustoms bud, nobody cares if you call that trash reviewer and person out. I blocked that crybaby idiot awhile ago after his consistent bad reviews and horrible opinions.
Unparalleled Universe yes it really did cause I was waiting on the px version but now that I see the differences I’m going to get the standard version instead.
Oh shit last video in the playlist! I feel like you have a lot more mezco that were not in the playlist. I’ll get to them when I go to video list. Great job again man! Your channel is so much fun!
I've never had a mezco figure but they sure look cool and definitely worth it. My top 5 are: 1. Mezco Logan 2.Mezco Deadpool (not exclusive ver) 3.Mezco Spiderman stealth suit 4.Mezco Popeye 5. Mezco Ascending knight batman
I love this look for Cable. 90s and MVC2 all the way but dont think this is the figure for me, I'm too much of a size queen and Mezco recently has gotten really all over the place with scale despite how good the figures are. Honestly, wonder if the DKR body would have been a better choice despite that being pretty old now. And it really kills me cause I love the execution. Just the height hurts. Hopefully ML or an import with do this look eventually.
I really appreciate your videos, especially the comparison section. After seeing the size of him next to the standard, I think I am going to just get the standard version. If I can find a cheap version I may pick it up for the suit and maybe see if the standard boots would work for him. Thanks again
I love this uniform for Cable but, man, the size of him ruins it. I'm gonna wait for the Revoltech Cable. It's gonna blow every Cable action figure ever released out of the water. Also, the Mafex Magneto is something to look forward to.
Yeah the size is a bit of a let down. That Yamaguchi Cable looks great but I'm afraid that they will make him shiny like Deathstroke 😔. That Magneto though!!!! That's gonna be crazy!
Standard version seems to be the best. More lights and you can activate the lights easier with the switch on his back rather than needing to remove the head and neck peg. And the scale as you pointed as well.
Damn. Is so tiny. Didn't realize that he was that small. I had it pre-ordered, but unfortunately I'm gonna cancel. Especially now with that Revo one coming.
My complaint is the same as everyone else's that being the scale. I also wish they had a new head to replace the slightly open mouthed one. That being said I really like cable so it was still a must have for me
The MU 3.75 Cable remains one of his best figures imo. There is some great things on this one, soft goods look good and I like how it goes nice with Cyclops in theory but wtf on his overall height, yeah that is a bit jarring. Amazing review as always bro
Oh man, I might have to agree with you about the MU Cable! That's a nice figure! Yeah this Cable can be made to look OK with Cyclops but you have to be pretty forgiving about how off it is.
Looks great, can't wait for BBTS to ship him out. In regards to the size, I'll just tell myself he's Ultimate Cable 🤓 The spear is specific to that costume era and he uses it in Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Whatup UU! That spear is actually called a Psimitar. And you're absolutely right! He is WAY too small! Trust me, nobody would argue that fact. He's actually taller than Thor (6'8/6'6). The only figure they gave "correct" scale to is Gladiator Hulk.
Interesting. The body is beefier but he's shorter. They're Mezco-ized so the heights don't have to necessarily be EXACT but it is a bummer he's clearly shorter here. Maybe it's more iconic but it is funny how many people remember Cable in his giant shoulder pad phase (technically he had two different types of goofy oversized shoulder pads) but he actually looked like this in the comics for WAY longer. The shoulder pad phase was extremely short.
I don’t think Mezco dropped the ball, regarding size, just being cheap and know it’ll sell regardless. I know moulds are expensive (I’ve heard up to around $80,000) but they already save a lot, considering most of the time they just need to add fabric on top. I’d like them to make a new buck when appropriate, which they could reuse again for other similarly sized characters. It looks cool but I’m glad I cancelled it, I don’t like that he’s small but really my main issue is that these are expensive and they definitely make enough money to do it properly.
During the outfit comparison segment with Cyclops, all I could think about is Cyclops saying, "Boy, how you got grey hairs already? You ain't been through enough to have grey hairs!"
Really? honestly the original is better he looks bigger and he looks like a badass yes this costume is classic but the other one gives you way more with the lights and to me i have no problem with his articulation with the original one he moves just fine for me this one looks small but again mezcos are there own 6 inch size not 7inch so to mezcos the original one looks just fine next to my wolverine and cyclops and deadpool
With the seemingly endless amount of Mezco figures coming out ( Thanos just being announced) is anyone having joint issues with their older figures? I find on the Deadpool and the captain Americas that some material is starting to flake and the joints are getting looser but no major issues yet. Is this normal or am I storing them wrong ? I don't exactly want to remove the soft foods and mess with the bodies or something
fujidoom low humidity verging on “dry” is the best way to store the figure. I keep them in glass cases with very low humidity. I’ve emailed Mezco themselves and they say humidity is the killer of joints and faux fabrics they use. Make sure the room they are stored in is never damp.
That being said I have a few buddies with the “scale” armour cap that started flaking. It’s something you have to be willing to deal with in the future with some soft goods. We also don’t have a lot of experience with older mezcos as I think they are wait earliest 2015-2016? This is the major reasons the value of Mezco drifts as no one is sure how a Mezco will look 20 years from now. Wil the outfit still be ok? How about the joints? It’s something us collectors will have to learn as we go. Hopefully they last but even 5-8 year old hot toys start to degrade.
I also handle the figures with nitrile gloves, I’ve never touched them with my skin, our skin has naturally oils unless your shrivelled and dried like a prune.
fujidoom a little heat should unstick your joints. I have a small heat gun for setting model paint and primers and a few blasts of that to any figures joint usually unsticks it no matter the age. You can also use a blow dryer, just keep the heat indirect if possible:
Yeh was kinda joking and kinda not joking. Really unhappy with his height even more unhappy with the height of the px. I’m a sucker for that suit though and wanna set him up beside both of the cyclops and xmen dead pool.
@Alexander The Great True, I've only been reading comics since 1972. Still a lot to learn. I do know he was better dead, though. Same with Barry Allen. Bringing them back was a huge mistake and a real step backward, which is pretty much DC's thing.

Man, mezco's biggest issue is scale. They charee enough to make a few different sized bucks
Yeah they definitely need to step it up a bit. They almost remind me of Marvel Select in the way they treat scale.
My local comic shop stopped ordering them due to poor sales. So apparently, the whole line isn't nearly as popular as it was just a few years back. I got a small collection of them, but I'd honestly rather spend the big bucks for a Mafex comic figure. Something that looks like the comics/cartoon.

i'm having high hopes for medicom to make one... with them keep making marvel figures. .. Kaiyodo announced CABLE for the amazing yamaguchi line btw.

Janitor he is not that bad though
I hope Mezco go's all out with the blue and yellow Xmen,would buy all of them to complete the set
I don't think they would do that but heck yeah that would be great.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Cable :)
Heck yeah!
I had that cable as well when I was a kid to. kind of remind me of The Terminator.
Yes!!! Same here!
I have nothing to say about this figure but wow. Great review by the way!
Yeah he's came out great! Thanks man!
I always see you your reviews before I buy a mezco Thanks man.
That's great to hear man! I hope my review help you out.
Unparalleled Universe yes it really did cause I was waiting on the px version but now that I see the differences I’m going to get the standard version instead.
The Psimitar makes more sense to been included with this one since it was heavily featured in the late 90s when he wore this outfit
Woah didn’t even know he was out yet
Yes sir! He came out last Wednesday!
Oh shit last video in the playlist! I feel like you have a lot more mezco that were not in the playlist. I’ll get to them when I go to video list. Great job again man! Your channel is so much fun!
I wanna skip this one but you guys are making it hard!
Small but good looking ...
🎵 I'm Gonna Take You For a Ride 🎵
Lmao the head sculpt that's showing teeth looks hilarious
Yeah they are pretty bad haha.

Ahhh man that height is a huge bummer for me! Gonna pass on this one and just get the regular version, dope review as always!

its cool that they give you an x-acto knife with as an exclusive.
Honestly wondering if you could take the right sleeve off without messing the fig up too much and throw some shoulder pads in him.
The size is inexcusable. At least the standard version had bulk. This one is so small, you’ll have to display with 3-3/4” figures for proper scaling.
😂😂😂😂😂
Looks great, can't wait for BBTS to ship him out. In regards to the size, I'll just tell myself he's Ultimate Cable 🤓 The spear is specific to that costume era and he uses it in Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Great review man, I enjoy your work. I’m skipping this & wait for the yamaguchi, as the size of the mezco totally killed it for me.
Thanks! I feel you, the size is definitely an issue. Oh yeah man that Yamaguchi one looks great!
This is so nice I don’t care about the height because I don’t have any other mezcos so it will work for me
Nice! In that case you'll enjoy this figure.
Unparalleled Universe yah and the articulation is alot better than the standard version and looks nicer to me
Whatup UU! That spear is actually called a Psimitar. And you're absolutely right! He is WAY too small! Trust me, nobody would argue that fact. He's actually taller than Thor (6'8/6'6). The only figure they gave "correct" scale to is Gladiator Hulk.
Any MvC2 fans here?
Interesting. The body is beefier but he's shorter. They're Mezco-ized so the heights don't have to necessarily be EXACT but it is a bummer he's clearly shorter here.
Maybe it's more iconic but it is funny how many people remember Cable in his giant shoulder pad phase (technically he had two different types of goofy oversized shoulder pads) but he actually looked like this in the comics for WAY longer. The shoulder pad phase was extremely short.
If they made a Marvel Legends Cable in this costume, I'd buy it straight away. I'd love to get a Marvel vs Capcom 2 Cable.
Nice man
Thanks!
That height though...😭
I know 😭😭😭. He's still dope though!
Awesome review as always bro
I don’t think Mezco dropped the ball, regarding size, just being cheap and know it’ll sell regardless. I know moulds are expensive (I’ve heard up to around $80,000) but they already save a lot, considering most of the time they just need to add fabric on top. I’d like them to make a new buck when appropriate, which they could reuse again for other similarly sized characters. It looks cool but I’m glad I cancelled it, I don’t like that he’s small but really my main issue is that these are expensive and they definitely make enough money to do it properly.
This’d be so much better beefed up 20%. You see the new Revtech Cable sculpt? That thing looks like it could deliver a beat down befitting of Cable.
height was my only issue but i can deal with it, mine arrives tuesday. even more dissapointed with the height of conan but oh well.
almost bought one today... almost. I hasnt noticed that he was sooo short tho. hate that fart sniffing face too
Cable and Wolverine are both runts!
During the outfit comparison segment with Cyclops, all I could think about is Cyclops saying, "Boy, how you got grey hairs already? You ain't been through enough to have grey hairs!"
Great review brotha 👊🏼💥
Thank you sir.
HYPER VIPER BEAM
Ficou muito legal, mas eu acho que ele tá um pouco baixo.
Awesome figure!!
If only mezco would make cable bigger
Such a bummer about the scale - 1:12 at 6’8” he should tower over Cyclops. Torn if I should get him because after all I’m a die hard Xmen fan.
Are the guns loose on the hands for you ? Mine are falling out of the hands all the time
Lmao my guy using an action figure hand to point at the detail. Dope lil easter egg.
sorry to go off topic but do you think you'll ever review the mafex deadpool? I've ordered mine off of solaris japan. (this cable is badass btw)
Wade where did you get that Mezco Cable cape from? Looks awesome!
What's up man? That came from @harkercustoms in Instagram, he made it for the Mandaloron but I thought it looks cool on Cable haha.
@@UnparalleledUniverse I've been looking for one to put on my Cable everywhere! So glad I decided to check this video out. Thank you brother!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
5:14 Jim Carrey impression? LOL
😂😂😂 I can see it!

@@czarface5615 Thanks for all the tips!
very small cable figure has to be bigger and more robust
Definitely
He is just too small. The regular Cable looks as imposing as one would think Cable is. I dig the figure though.
The scale is a huge deal breaker Wolverine is 5’3 and Nathan is 6’8 but yet they’re the same height lmao!
Great review but I actually prefer the original, the bulky-ness made him look bigger
😂 Mezco teeth do be lookin F🙊KED up yo.
😂😂😂 For real!
@@UnparalleledUniverse FOR REAL! Need to add a Invisalign accessory for some of those grills 🤣 And some Crest!
Original version is better in my opinion.
Nice. The original version is great too, I just prefer this one.
its using wolverine's body isnt it?
Clearly not.
Nah I don't think so.
Yeh was kinda joking and kinda not joking. Really unhappy with his height even more unhappy with the height of the px. I’m a sucker for that suit though and wanna set him up beside both of the cyclops and xmen dead pool.
Oooof, the size on this figure is a killer. No way will I pay the price for a figure so far out of proper scale. Too bad.
Rip straight from marvel vs capcom even the staff is the same 👍🏽👍🏽
Hell no. Please go and check again
Hell yes go pick up a dreamcast my bad besides the missing yellow trunks but cmon who wants yellow trunks
Ya thats correct.. not rip straight from mvc2 as u said. Beside the trunks, it missing the knee pads boots and gloves on the bionic arm..
Yeah he's way too small :(
Hal Jordan where are you?
John Stewart kicked his ass and he crawled off into the night.
@Alexander The Great True, I've only been reading comics since 1972. Still a lot to learn. I do know he was better dead, though. Same with Barry Allen. Bringing them back was a huge mistake and a real step backward, which is pretty much DC's thing.
Really disappointing its to small..
This figure is sooooo disappointing. A short Cable... Very disappointed
He is way too small man. The dropped the ball. Very disappointing...
Scaling fail. Scott summers is taller then cable when they were next to one another... Lame sauce. Cable is like a fucking giant lol or he should be.
Should be indeed.
