YES, Cable CAN fit in very nicely with Marvel Legends. Cable is generally always depicted as a pretty huge guy..so despite the larger scale of the Select, it works.
I think you're a bit to harsh on the select figures man. Every figure is uniquely sculpted and applied with some sort of an accessories, base, weapons, or even an extra figurine. With legends you get the same old body molds reused each year over an over again (bucky cap mold) and you'll get one figure each wave that actually has an accessorie. Other than articulation, legends can't necessarily compete with marvel select. Then again, this is merely my personal opinion.
i mean marvel select know how to create . great a good sculpt but they are very hard to get into a good pose, the winter soldier cap is always too stiff, the deadpool is slightly too rigid and the cable is both wobbily and far too stiff... the best i can do with him is make him stand and hold a gun for a few seconds, he constantly falls over despite the fact that he has pegs to keep him held up. they're great show pieces but getting them to pose is almost impossible
I will always sacrifice articulation for a good sculpt. Too much articulation makes the figure look like Pinocchio. They're all awkward, unsightly, mechanical joints.
My problem with sacrificing articulation is that Cable can't even aim his gun! Yes, the Select sculpts are beautiful but they're not even consistent with scaling. That's weak.
Brandon Deichler So true. I have traded away every Marvel Select I have ever had. I love NECA's stuff. The sculpts are great and they have nice articulation. The problem with NECA is the quality. Many figures break easily. I have been collecting the 68 Planet of the Apes line. So far the figures are pretty sturdy. Maybe it is just certain lines that have QC problems?
Looking at this figure makes me really mad they didn't go for Perlman for the role. He was the obvious choice! Grrrr! Shame on you, Fox! (Although I'm pretty sure Josh Brolin will do an awesome job anyways)
Great review!!! I manged to get cable aiming bang on with the massive cannon of doom! but you really gotta jiggle the head up down and side to side to get bang on!
Hey Shartimus, I saw some photos of the figure without the vest, I hope you do an update to see how it looks that way and see how that affects the articulation.
Can't go wrong with DST! My favorite company! The articulation doesn't bother me, I really like the look of this figure. You made me laugh with that baby cry lol Wasn't expecting that! Great review as always Shartimus! Enjoy your couple of days off!
Just picked this guy up tonight, he looks fucking great. The articulation in his upper body is very limited (can't understand why they didn't give him forearm or bicep swivel) but all the detail and the ludicrous amount of accessories he comes with more than make up for that, in my book.
Yeah, weak articulation on this guy is why I passed; It's basically a statue, even when comparing it to Select Ultron, Venom, and the new Thor. Detail work on it is really great, don't get me wrong, but the reason I get action figures is to pose them in action poses. I'll wait to see if any customizers do anything to fix its articulation.
Everyone I got this figure it's actually not that bad I'm enjoying it, it's just hard to get his weapons in his hands, and also lack if articulation but still I really love the sculpt
Who the fuck is that? He's a man out of time Who the fuck is that? He likes to fight crime Who the fuck is that? He hangs with the 'Pool Who the fuck is that? But he ain't a fool HE'S FUCKING CABLE!!!
Help me out, ACBA community. I'm wanting to do some ACBA for my photography course. Never had a flight stand, never have owned a Tamashii Nation figure or Mafex. Only flight stands I've owned have been the Marvel Legends ones. Which are nice, but I need a clip for non ML figures. I keep coming across the Tamashii Nations flight stand on Amazon. And it's nice, but it seems really short. Which flight stands are your favorite?
Yo Sharty Primo, Scale wise, how does he size up next to the Marvel Legends Stryfe? I'm hoping he isn't too much taller because all of the other Cable figures are way to short/small.
Damn! I wanted to buy Cable and Deadpool, but after the size comparison, i gues i will buy none xD But thank you for review! This is very good, funny and usefull!)
I missed out on preordering the diamond select carnage. I've been kicking myself for that. BBTS is presold out. What are the chances of getting one for non skyrocket prices
Really really high, its rare for an action figure to sell out that quick even the odin wave came back after everyone cleaned out the stores. I found a MS venom a couple months ago at retail price. But overall theres that small chance thatl it will sell out, thank the scalpers
Yeah, you bet, already have the venom figure and that carnage looks too sick to skip on. Hopefully the scalpers dont wipe out the stores, and youre welcome
cool video shartimus not a bad looking figure but bummer about the articulation not that i collect selects but id rather have better articulation then sculpt and if hes not tall enough for certain displays thats kinda a problem too but anyway keep up the awesome videos
*Shartimus:* These do not fit into scale with each other at all. Cable should definitely be taller than Deadpool. *Me:* He's very short. 5'11. Not like in the comics.
The guns would look nice for someone like rocket raccoon. The actual figure..................meh. It looks alright, but after a good figure like the Marvel NOW thor, kind of feels dull. Plus not to mention, the ugly DCUC styled legs which I hate...
+Arthur. Florence The early nineties, everyone's muscles ballooned out of control, lost their eyes, Thor got a stupid costume, Superman died, heroes started killing villains and using guns and everyone wanted to be Wolverine... Thankfully, by the time most of that BS died out, I had only just been born... only for DC (and Marvel to a lesser extent) to start doing this same sh*t all over again. 'yay'...
I wouldn't say paint is very good on this one. The forehead is not even painted all the way up to the hairline and that 5o'clock shadow on his face looks awful. I was really looking forward for this figure, but now I think even if I buy it I'll have to custom paint it for sure.
I LOVE the new MS Thor figure but HATE this Cable one. It seems like MS just half assed this figure with crappy articulation and fisher price sized weapons. Easy pass for me.
It has feet? Being a Liefeld styled figure I assumed it wouldn't have feet. I'll pass, those guns look dumb as hell and overall it just looks ridiculous.
great review. love Cable, but just not diggin that upper body at all. just waaayyyy too much goin on there. if that were a real soldier- he wouldnt be able to move with allv that crap on. I know thats how he looked in the comics early on- but they definitely should have done a later xmen version. Very disappointed. gonna pass on this one-
Bad figure....i always think how people who make these think its a good idea to make a articulated figure and then they sculpt al those things on top in such a way that it Blocks everything...with this figure it looks like his chestarmor is 10 sizes to big...how do they miss that?
"Meh, it could use a few more pouches..."

Absolutely agree with you men...
Daaaamn those guns are awesome looking. Sweet figure, my favorite Marvel Select in a while.
I will always sacrifice articulation for a good sculpt. Too much articulation makes the figure look like Pinocchio. They're all awkward, unsightly, mechanical joints.
I'm with you

so true Tom Bowling
Needs balance. Good articulation and good sculpt rather than great articulation and crap sculpt, or vice versa.
He looks like Ron Perlman.
FOX CAST RON PERLMAN AS CABLE RIGHT NOW seriously though if they don't I will be disappointed 😞
IKR? I thought I was the only one who thought that!
+117darksonic Keira Knightley!
Looking at this figure makes me really mad they didn't go for Perlman for the role. He was the obvious choice! Grrrr! Shame on you, Fox! (Although I'm pretty sure Josh Brolin will do an awesome job anyways)
@@the_architect.. he did a great job, but man hes so tiny man!
The articulation may not be great but the sculpt and paint detail more than makes up for it.
Defiantly picking this up for my Legends. Great review bro!
Thank you Mr. Prime. Been waiting for this guy. Enjoy your break.
Hey Shartimus! Pura vida from Costa Rica! Nice review and cool figure → Thumb up
I still like it, despite the lack of movement.
Definitely more in scale with legends.
Wow!!! This Figure Is Aweeesome!! It's the best Ron Pearlman face scan ever!!! XD
Awesome!!!!!! Shart you rock
The face sculpt looks like ron perlman alot it would be cool to see him as cable.
Great review!!! I manged to get cable aiming bang on with the massive cannon of doom! but you really gotta jiggle the head up down and side to side to get bang on!
Hey Shartimus, I saw some photos of the figure without the vest, I hope you do an update to see how it looks that way and see how that affects the articulation.
Great looking figure and great review Shartimus
Seeing this figure makes me think, if Fox is gonna have Cable in the Deadpool movie, Dolph Lundgren would be a cool pick to play him. Just my opinion.
What about Ron Perlman?
Logan Circle I didn't even think of that, he'd be an awesome choice too!
Aubrey Lofton I like Dolph and all but I personally don't think he's as good as an actor as Ron is.
Ur opinion is become true
i love ur mom no it didn’t
Can't go wrong with DST! My favorite company! The articulation doesn't bother me, I really like the look of this figure. You made me laugh with that baby cry lol Wasn't expecting that! Great review as always Shartimus! Enjoy your couple of days off!
His chest padding is removable. So maybe that would add some more articulation to the head.
Well that's good then :o because that chest padding is really my only itch with this figure
Just picked this guy up tonight, he looks fucking great. The articulation in his upper body is very limited (can't understand why they didn't give him forearm or bicep swivel) but all the detail and the ludicrous amount of accessories he comes with more than make up for that, in my book.
His mold reminds me of Major Chip Hazard from Small Soldiers.
Nice, but I don't know about you but i'm ready for that MARVEL Select Carnage! Had mine pre-ordered the first day so I hope we get it soon!!!
Just picked mine up this morning
Will you review the carnage?
Hi can you ask marvel select if they could make a marvel select if Toxin?
hey, which is the gunmetal base in the beginning (0:56) of the video ??
Yeah, weak articulation on this guy is why I passed; It's basically a statue, even when comparing it to Select Ultron, Venom, and the new Thor. Detail work on it is really great, don't get me wrong, but the reason I get action figures is to pose them in action poses. I'll wait to see if any customizers do anything to fix its articulation.

Man... I'm so buying this off bbts, thanks for the review man.
Can't wait for that carnage tho!
2 amazing figure from DS in Thor and this. Shame about the articulation above the waist but it still looks amazing! GR!!
Are you able to clip the medium sized gun onto his right shoulder?
When r u going to review marvel select carnage
That baby cry! xD
Who the fuck is that?
He's a man out of time
Who the fuck is that?
He likes to fight crime
Who the fuck is that?
He hangs with the 'Pool
Who the fuck is that?
But he ain't a fool
HE'S FUCKING CABLE!!!
Nice one.
were have i heard that hmmm...
We are joking my friend
CABLEEEEEEE!!!! Nice review :)
i take it the vest does not come off?
Great review, as always. Bummer about the articulation but overall a solid figure. Thanks!
Cable looks like Bill Razer from Contra shattered soldier and I wish Cable was compered with Stryfe from the Jubilee baf...
sucks about the articulation but it looks soooo good!! That I'm still ganna buy it!

I picked him up for my ML display. Toybiz is outrageously over priced so that my main reason, I definitely recommend it as well.
were you can remove the pads?
haven't commented in a while, this figure is cool, he looks like Ron Perlman
Yo Sharty Primo,
Scale wise, how does he size up next to the Marvel Legends Stryfe? I'm hoping he isn't too much taller because all of the other Cable figures are way to short/small.
is there any way to take off the vest?
Some people have. It's glued. I can't customize but if you look at the Marvel Legends Community on FB, there's a dude who posted pics.
Thanxs much will do!
Great Review! Glad i ordered mine.
I really need to get that cable
This cable looks like ron pearlman i cant wait til they come out with josh brolins version
Damn! I wanted to buy Cable and Deadpool, but after the size comparison, i gues i will buy none xD
But thank you for review! This is very good, funny and usefull!)
Def gotta get this regardless of the lack of articulation. Why he look like Ron Perlman tho!?
I missed out on preordering the diamond select carnage. I've been kicking myself for that. BBTS is presold out. What are the chances of getting one for non skyrocket prices
Really really high, its rare for an action figure to sell out that quick even the odin wave came back after everyone cleaned out the stores. I found a MS venom a couple months ago at retail price. But overall theres that small chance thatl it will sell out, thank the scalpers
Igor's Reviews awesome. Thanks for the info bud. Hopefully I'll get one then. Are you gonna get a carnage too?
Yeah, you bet, already have the venom figure and that carnage looks too sick to skip on. Hopefully the scalpers dont wipe out the stores, and youre welcome
That chin though.
Can anyone tell me if you can remove the head and replace it with a marvel legends head ?
I think you are all mistaken. Ron Perlmen looks like Cable, and that's why he's gonna get this role :D
If cable was in deadpool who agrees he would have to be played by Ron pearlman (hellboy)
cool video shartimus not a bad looking figure but bummer about the articulation not that i collect selects but id rather have better articulation then sculpt and if hes not tall enough for certain displays thats kinda a problem too but anyway keep up the awesome videos
Can anyone tell me the song at the ends name
Got this yesterday :)
Not looking where he is aiming, from a nineties character, No WAY!!! XD
Plus look at his original design, where great articulation really expected? :/
*Shartimus:* These do not fit into scale with each other at all. Cable should definitely be taller than Deadpool.
*Me:* He's very short. 5'11. Not like in the comics.
El pura vida es de mi pais. Costa rica!!!
The guns would look nice for someone like rocket raccoon.
The actual figure..................meh. It looks alright, but after a good figure like the Marvel NOW thor, kind of feels dull. Plus not to mention, the ugly DCUC styled legs which I hate...
I ordered this
I love this!!!!!!
Is it me or does this MS Cable seriously looks like Ron Pearlman ? LOL
Now That is a GUN!!!
Great video Shartimus and Keep up the great work!
Yeah, that articulation is weak, but I think he's good for Legends displays!
is it just me or does this toy look alot like ron perlman?
He actually might be playing Cable in Deadpool 2. His instagram is full of pics of Cable.
Don't even care bout articulation cause I keep em all in the boxes
Jean Grey is NOT Cable's mom but its a common misconception...I'll let it slide.
Pura vida!!
action figure -- sure looks like Ron Perlman :)
Gramps hoody!!!!!!!
Those puches... fuck liefeld, seriously.
+Arthur. Florence The early nineties, everyone's muscles ballooned out of control, lost their eyes, Thor got a stupid costume, Superman died, heroes started killing villains and using guns and everyone wanted to be Wolverine... Thankfully, by the time most of that BS died out, I had only just been born... only for DC (and Marvel to a lesser extent) to start doing this same sh*t all over again. 'yay'...
So many dame pouches and guns lol
He looks like Ron Pearlman LOL - Actually he wouldn't make a bad Cable in an X-Men movie...
I wouldn't say paint is very good on this one. The forehead is not even painted all the way up to the hairline and that 5o'clock shadow on his face looks awful. I was really looking forward for this figure, but now I think even if I buy it I'll have to custom paint it for sure.
Marvel legends
i must have!!!
Nice nice 👍
He works better with ML Deadpool.
5:26
Not my favorite but an ok figure
Agh I pre ordered this and now I'm disappointed articulation sucks and that five o'clock shadow looks like shit 😖
I LOVE the new MS Thor figure but HATE this Cable one. It seems like MS just half assed this figure with crappy articulation and fisher price sized weapons. Easy pass for me.
Me to Alex the awesome
Thank god I didnt waste money on that.
he looks like clay from sons of anarchy
Foo soda
It has feet? Being a Liefeld styled figure I assumed it wouldn't have feet.
I'll pass, those guns look dumb as hell and overall it just looks ridiculous.
Face Ron Perlman
great review. love Cable, but just not diggin that upper body at all. just waaayyyy too much goin on there. if that were a real soldier- he wouldnt be able to move with allv that crap on. I know thats how he looked in the comics early on- but they definitely should have done a later xmen version. Very disappointed. gonna pass on this one-
That stubbly beard looks really weird. It just covers his chin. Apparently Cable can't grow a mustache or sideburns.
Bad figure....i always think how people who make these think its a good idea to make a articulated figure and then they sculpt al those things on top in such a way that it Blocks everything...with this figure it looks like his chestarmor is 10 sizes to big...how do they miss that?
I've seen many a Marvel Legend that have great articulation on a great character but everything else about it looks like caca.
I love and hate this figure. Cable is way too bad ass to not like it, but the articulation is awful.
His torso is WAY too long.
