Marvel Legends Zabu Wave MVC Cable Review!!! (Really Nice Figure BUT NOT PERFECT!) 

Not gonna lie Cable and Bishop are my personal favorite X-MEN time travelers because they do have very badass powers and very dope ass guns, I may not have this Cable figure but my friend might get him, Great review on Nathan Summers aka Cable.

Hands down Best cable outfit imo

Nice review I just got the figure today

Someone shoulda told Cable not to skip leg day

I’ll grab him but I’m really waiting on a Mafex Cable.. which is going to be forever lol.

Fun fact, those guns he comes with friends scaled down versions of nerf guns Hasbro used to make

Man… Im proud of you and how you pushing out the Videos

This figure really needed the giant gun Cable uses in MVC game.

Deep Sea Cable! Air Assault Cable! Deep Space Armor Cable!

this shoulda been a deluxe figure like they did with MvC Iron Man and gave it his Viper Beam gun with some cool beam/blast effects.

It’s always weird when they put art work on the box that doesn’t match the figure.

I definitely dig the bare arm look with a pouch belt around the arm

Dam those Mezco cables are a mess

Hahaha even your (face beard and all) it’s a better Cable head than the Yamaguchi one 😂 Great review man

They should get a Psi-mitar weapon on one of these cables at some point. I would also like the most articulation you can get. That’s how it needs to work. It gets boring to say the same thing. As I’m sure it gets tiring to read my comments. Any figure out there should know that for the future. Fully articulated. There are so many toys out there at this point so every point of articulation should come baked in to any figure. Double knees. Double elbow. Neck head butterfly. Ankle rocker etc etc. shouldn’t even be a comment at this point.

I passed on pre-ordering this one because I really prefer the Liefeld inspired figure with the big shoulder pads and the more military style uniform, as opposed to the blue and yellow spandex look. The early 90's / New Mutants / X-Force Cable is the look I think of when I think of the character. So that older Cable figure is good for me. But this one looks pretty cool for what it is.

You say the Marvel vs Capcom version but this uniform debuted in the comics long before that.

Waiting for Mayfex Cable

I might be wrong but I remember the knee pads actually being part of the boot in mvc2. So if accuracy was the goal they should’ve attached them to the lower leg instead of the knee

I really need the Revoltech to get a reissue but this one is gonna be a great for my MvC display

SCIMITAR ! ! !

I gonna take you for a ride 🎶

Where did you buy your Cyclops custom head for the X-Factor Mafex’s Cyclops.

I can’t wait to get this figure in hand, the headsculpt is so good it has me thinking how it would look as a custom Bruce Wayne or Slade Wilson or even Frank Castle.

wish I could find this figure ANYWHERE...

Amazing review like Always! :) i think... the mezco head on this body looks the best.. am I crazy? :)

I've wanted this Cable for MvC, but too many issues here for me. Outdated joints, weapons amiss, enormous feet, mixing pinless with pins. Great idea Hasbro, but not like this. Someday maybe Mafex, for now easy to miss.

For what it is, I love it, it’s cable, it’s a no brainer pickup. But I’m definitely going to swap out the right arm with a Hercules and give him 2 pack Deadpool’s thigh pouches. No idea where to get a decent chonky gun, but I may give him a cobra viper rifle as a stand in.

I see him as a bit bigger/muscular. I see him like a football player - bigger and taller. Revoltech seems closer to what I have in mind. But the metal arm sculpt is good.

You could swap out the entire lower leg. You can still swap pinless parts by heating it, slicing just one side of the leg to the right or left of the disc on the lower leg and slotting another leg with a compatible peg hole. You could likely easily adjust the width of the replacement knee disc, if needed, with a dremel. And I find that it still holds the replacement piece very well once you let the plastic cool down. Even with one side of its peg technically cut. Or you could just replace the boot at the ankle swivel if we have compatible slots... I will probably do that and paint the boot yellow. But I think I will also be removing the paint from just above the ankle swivel.

I have poured at least a couple thousand dollars into my marvel legends collection alone and I do not have one completed build a figure. All the waves I did complete were ironically without a BAF

They should have included an alternate metal arm with the splayed out cable effect. Yknow like his namesake lol

I wish they would have given him a metal hand instead of the blue glove. Agree with you on it should have been all pin less. Definitely will pickup for my X-Men shelf though

A lot to like here, but the lower legs just kill it for me. Great review though.

they should have put those boot "bands" like the mezco one has on the calf above the swivel of the ML one if only just to make the design flow better

Now that I've been thinking about it for a few minutes, I think I would have preferred a bare, right arm on the figure.

The fact that his human arm has pins and his bionic arm is pinless is kind of comedy on the marvel team lol! I still like him but he seems to not want to come back in stock on bbts or pulse lol! Oh and I am not paying those eBay prices for him ✨ Good review

I might be a little bias here when it comes to my love for Cable, but for me, this is my favorite legend of the year along with Jack O Lantern.

Hasbro has only done 2 modern Cables, not counting the early Dark Days Of Hasbro

I don't think they did as well with Cable as they did with the retro She-Hulk.

A little under sized for Cabel, but an awesome looking figure.

I already own this figure but i still had to watch your vid 😅

viper beam viper beam hyper viper beam

I thought this review would sway me lol it did not help me with my decision

swap hercs arm with his or vise versa whatever lol you know what i meant

The Mezco version a still superior imo

i think i might get that cable now. thanks man

Pin arm is a nonsense on 2024.

Thanks for showing that Revoltech head swap... the head is the only reason I'm getting this dull figure . The Revoltech Cable was just a game changer.

Pew pew pew 🔪🔪🔪🔥🔥🔥

5:58 They're supposed to be knee-high boots with the knee pads attached at the top. So they should've been designed like Thor's boots. 8:18 Could be because they're Nerf guns. Their designs are from the Nerf Vagabond and Nerf Barrel Break IX-2. It's NERF or nothin'. 12:52 '97 Bishop's gun is more like his MvC2 gun.

If it was me I´ll put the lower leg piece all yellow like in the videogame because I think is very inspired in that look, and they nail it... mostly. Too bad they backtracked in another detail on the production release. Oh well. Nice review tho!

If you don't mind putting in the work to mod the boots, I think giving him Thunder strike's boots would do this figure justice to make look him look more like his box art. Afterwords you can just color all his punches and stuff brown

The fact that his human arm has pins and his bionic arm is pinless is kind of comedy on the marvel team lol! I still like him but he seems to not want to come back in stock on bbts or pulse lol! Oh and I am not paying those eBay prices for him ✨ Good review

I think this is based on Cable #15 from back in the 90's, the MvC look is based on it but with slight differences. The box are is from Cable 16 and he kept the sleeveless look after

First off, you always give us a great review on figures like this one, and BAM! You did it again! Nice job, amigo! I'm still waiting for this one to arrive so I can put the left hind leg on Zabu! This is a great looking Cable figure. My favorite one so far, but I agree with you assessment. It certainly looks a bit Capcom-ish. The head sculpt is really nice. I wish that his belt pouches were painted brown. I think it would keep that yellow from overpowering things. Yellow can look very "toy-like" on action figures, so any time extra paint can be applied to things like those straps or those pouches is always gonna be a plus. I wish he did have the sculpted boots, but I can live with the painted-on look. Still, I'm looking forward to having this one in my collection. It certainly represents the character to me, and I dig him. I'm probably gonna use a brown Gundam marker pen in the grooves on his straps. I think that will add a lot to the detail. A little drybrushing might make those pistols pop more, so I think I'll try that.

You forgot the brow armor cable that was part of the juggernaut wave from 2016

i want an updated jim lee bishop not that 97 bishhop...

Is it just me or have Marvel Legends gotten more expensive as of lately?

Wow I didnt know the mezco cables were that small lolol

Yellow and blue team xmen legs could be a good leg swap. Also remove the yellow paint below the knee

If you got Hercules, pop off the arm and put it on Cable.

my first cable I ever got as a kid was this jumbo sized cable that you could put these discs into and you could switch on the lights and project pictures on the wall from the xmen animated show. I played with that thing all christmas day and weekend haha. I managed to get a super late preorder for this cable on hasbro pulse when they added more stock at like 2:00am one night, it just shipped so i'm stoked to finally get another cable.

Need an Og Animated Series Cable.

Your video Resolution is out of this world, love the close shots

Shit fast and awesome!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

These head swaps have been fun

I seen someone do an arm swap with hercules so that it matches the box art and xmen 97. Will probably do it when i eventually get mine

Hey

Yeah man old Toy Biz are cool but this is what I wanted pre-ordered on EE said July meanwhile peeps finding in the wild hope I get mine it won’t be in stores here great review
