No doubt, I am too! I really like the concept and sculpt on QS.

It would've been icing on the cake to see the concept on Scarlet Witch! Sucks that they are on hold!

in other news: YES!!!!! thank god this thing is printed, looks incredible hopefully it will be going up soon

About the wires..Cable is able to make modifications to his arm incorporating different gadgets and tech devises from outside tech. You guys are correct on it not being cybernetic. But its documented through out comics history that he can add foreign material and control it...So the wires are accurate. Im not sure if XM knew this when they added wires.. lol...but it works for accuracy with the die hard comic buffs. Hope this helps

Nah, its still not comic accurate. Now let me preface this with, I dont care, it looks awesome. Its just an artists interpretation, and sometimes the artist doing the piece in question isnt familiar with the character in depth. I dont know if thats what happened here, and again, it matters little. But the fact is, the XM Cable arm carries the look of a cyborg, robotic arm. Cables arm is techno organic flesh and while by the definition of the virus, his arm "could" look like what XM has shown us, it doesnt and to my knowledge in the comics never has.

Again though, it matters little. This piece still rocks (aside from the head, not a huge fan of that) and the arm looks fantastic.

I hear you bro, but its more than an artist depiction. More than a few illustration's during the stories over the years on Cable having had intentionally performed modifications adding gadgets and doodads to his arm. Apparently the techno organic virus is compatible (but not cybernetic.)

A few References: Messiah Complex, Messiah war and Second Coming graphic novels. Also a bio and tactical file on cable illustrating this very fact in one of those novels. Comic accurate but I don't think the XM artist knew that.

People said the same thing about Magneto. Look how that turned out.

I didn't say that about Magneto, and even if I had, I doubt the piece being made would change my mind. Sometimes paint can look better I person, or scale can. But if I don't like a design at its core, that won't change from print to person. I don't care for the design of the face. I can't explain it, nor do I need to really. It just doesn't click for me. It's not bad, I just personally don't care for it.

I see you have Illidan as your avatar? Is it done man?

I agree with Thor57, regardless of how much the XM sells for or how well done I just don't lime Magneto's face plain and simple. It is the reason I didn't order it.

And yes I know all about the blah blah blah and if I'd known before I do wished I'd ordered.

[Thor57]

I did and do like Magnetos face. I don't care for Cables.

Head sculpt looks good to me

No still have the wings left to do. The lower portion and the weapons have been done...but no pics of it yet. Hopefully soon....but no rush.
