Zimm's Two Cents
As sneak peaks have been slipping out about this one on Statue Marvels, I have had a long time to really think about it and the collector's club version (shown below).

Points in Favor
  • Sculpted by the Kucharek Brothers. This is just another piece that goes to show that with practice, you get better and better. (Especially the collector's club version. Look at the detail put into the base on that one).
  • Detail, Detail, Detail. From the guns, to the base. They amount of detail in this statue is incredible.
  • Love the coloring on this one as well.
Points Against
  • From the side angle, Cable looks a little "stiff"; however, that is part of his personality, so......I don't see anything that I dislike in this one.
Recommendation: Hot Buy. While I would be hard pressed to find a place to alot for it's size, it would definitely be worth it.


Robert's Two Cents
This may be the coolest piece by Bowen since the Sentinel statue. I like the collector's club version better.

Points in Favor
  • I love that base and all of the detail.
  • I think the shoulder pad over militarized look works for Cable.
  • This was/is (?) the best Cable costume ever.
  • Limited run size on the collector's club version.
Points Against
  • They should have had Rob Liefeld do the design sketches for the collector's club exclusive. Ouch! Stop throwing stuff at me.
Recommendation: Hot Buy. Very nice pieces.
