Man, been a long time since I read anything with Cable in it. Looks like some sorta post apocalyptic junk, maybe the jet engine / wing of something. \

Yeah I just dont know what it is with SS. Maybe two many pies with their fingers dipped in so they pick things up start them and then move onto something else. This will be a quick sell out piece I'd imagine (dont have to be a betting man to work that one out but thought I'd say it anyway).

the concept looks great!

not a character I am into, but congrats to everyone who wanted a 1/4 scale version of him.

Looking great so far and mostly like a instant buy for me!

The alternate pose definitely needs an alternate head/face. The expression really isn't matching the pose.
A screaming or growling mouth would support the pose perfectly.

I'm pretty sure they are working on that already, but you know.. just in case

Great concept for museum pose, but I prefer more dynamic. Is the metal arm going to be Chromed?

Also, does this mean XM got the green light for X-Men?

Yep, agreed. Not overly keen on all the recent concepts with static poses. Personally I prefer those only on the big hitters e.g. cap holding the flag or thor being arrogant where it suits the character. This and she hulk come across as though they are posing for a photo shoot.

If they just twisted his torso, had him pointing his gun at the viewer with his right arm it would look a lot better. Then you could still have a SO left arm with gun over shoulder or held out in more active pose. Just my preference though but I hope XM does venture more into the more active poses. The statue world needs something a bit newer rather than plain old poser / static stances.

Looks cool. I'm not a big fan of Cable but will still likely pick this up.

Been waiting for the next X-Men figure. Not my first choice, but intrigued nonetheless. Awesome!

A fellow collector suggested that a 1/4 Hope in his arm would make a killer switch out. I'm not into the character, but for those who are, I think they could hardly resist dem feelings.

Hoping the portrait is going to be good and I hope he's going to be more "jacked" in the actual sculpt. Cable was always a big and built dude. Will be picking this up for sure.
