I immediately thought the same thing. Odd how everything else they do is Sideshow-ified but they ripped this one straight off the comics page. Now it looks out of place with the others.

So Sideshow is right in his representation of the arm based on the comics canon. XM is perhaps more cool looking for many, because of the likeness with the terminator, but it's clearly not Cable's arm, however many comic book artists did the same mistake over the years, probably because of the "cool factor".
Agree. However, I'd prefer if they made it look smoother and more like a metal version of his right arm. And also make the bands a little wider.

Kind of like it is here.

Day One Pre-Order!! For me this piece is a 10/10 but for an EXCLUSIVE, i'd love to see either baby Hope OR alternative portrait with pissed off Terminator face* Either of those would be EPIC!

I’m glad I waited

I have to disagree, too. I like the cybernetic arm on this SSC version more.

His arm is supposed to be techno-orangic, so seeing wires in the XM version throws it off.

I find some of their business decisions so strange...$2500 of X-Men pre-orders within a month? Spread it out a little, jeez.

Not that I'm upset that Cable is finally here, he's the one I really want
