Marvel Universe Cable Review

[TheFirstVampire3456]

Dude are you okay why aren you reviewing your toys. Where are you bro

[ashrok1982]

@TheFirstVampire3456 I'm here dude...just been really swamped with life. Patriot review will be up later today.

[fxfranz]

i don't think there's anything wrong with reviewing figures late. just look at my backlog...

good job on this one bro. well said on what Hasbro's doing for MU, as a company, and what the company has in store for us. having said that, i still can't get over how crappy the Avengers 3.75in figures are turning out to be. i've seen a couple of reviews and man the figures are just unbelievably horrible... great aesthetics, but crappy gimmicks and poor cheapskate articulation. sigh...

[ashrok1982]

@fxfranz Thanks FX! The only reason I don't give to much grief or have to much to complain about the movie figures over the years is because MU is not in charge of such figures. I have a good friend behind the scenes who says that MU, Spider-Man line, movie lines and other Marvel related figures are run by completely different people. For instance, the MU molds are crafted here in the states then shipped to China to produce, whereas the other lines are made abroad and given less money to spend

[fxfranz]

@ashrok1982

i see... whew, that's a relief to hear :-)

[ashrok1982]

@fxfranz and overall less attention. This probably explains the various differences in articulation, paint apps and overall quality. I still don't give the MU line too much leeway simply because of the Victor Von Crap, and other repaints...but now I understand it. I try to think of their decision making as business savvy as possible in order to keep on ticking. And after I see all of the promise on the horizon with Beta Ray Bill, Kraven, a New Punisher, She Hulk, Nova and many more. I stay cool

[fxfranz]

@ashrok1982

you've just made me give more respect to the MU team right now. but, i swear, someone has to do something about the paint apps guy (if there is really one guy responsible for making sure that all products have standard paint apps)

[anthony9484]

hey ashrok i was just mu hunting and find a iron spider man variant i looked on youtube no video on it is it rare

[ashrok1982]

@anthony9484 He was super rare when he first came out...but from what I hear he's everywhere now. Might be rare down the road...

[jasyno162]

You are very welcome, love love your videos keep them coming

[RockSchneider]

I just hope we get to see soon a Domino figure. When I used to read cable, they where a team and would be awsome to have em' posed together.

[ashrok1982]

@RockSchneider Stay tuned...I got something coming up after the Patriot review...

[RockSchneider]

Sad I couldnt get the baby hope figure, the only one I found was "the variant", but still like him a lot

[ashrok1982]

@RockSchneider Indeed man.

[mkultralysk]

yo ashrock you looooove to say grimacing a lot! lol i love your mu reviews. i agree with almost all of your shit and the mu figures are definitely where it's at... keep doin your thing bro

[ashrok1982]

@mkultralysk (Has a grimacing look on his face) I don't know what your talking about dude! lol. Thanks...glad your digging my shit.

[mkultralysk]

@ashrok1982 btw, i also agree that we - as fans - should be more patient with hasbro's mu line... it definitely HAS evolved for the better and the figures coming in the near future look sick! nova and beta ray bill!

[c0nfigure]

Great review brotha, 5/5 is right son! Definitely the best MU figure of 2011 and my favorite as well. Yo thanks for the fb group page mention, gotta let people know how we do over there lol. Awesome rant too, everything you said is so true. MU is still going H.A.M. this year mang.

[ashrok1982]

@c0nfigure Indeed. Thanks and I know MU will be amazing...we know what we are getting first half...I'm waiting on the second half...2 packs...3 packs...exclusives...etc...can­t wait and no problem. It's a great page with great people.

[MrGreeenLanturnn]

Once again nice job dude =), first things first...is that baby hope cable worth 50$, 30$ for varient? My mom doesnt trust ebay -.-. secondly do you think mr sinister gambit pack will become peg warmers?

[ashrok1982]

@MrGreeenLanturnn I don't think he's worth 50 thats for sure. Now, if you shop around on ebay you will find him for cheaper...ebay aint bad. Second, yes eventually just like many other 2 packs...they will be peg warmers.

[MrGreeenLanturnn]

@ashrok1982 lol i try to get it from ebay but she thinks it's all scams...so im like, well what's paypal for?

[Turtlepower1982]

I scored the non baby hope version for $4.

I can't wait for Beast! It's killing me!

[ashrok1982]

@Turtlepower1982 4 bucks...lucky fuck! Thats dope. I know...Beast will be simply amazing dude.

[killaharts]

Holy Shit 14 Years Of Rap !!!!!!!!!!!!

[ashrok1982]

@killaharts You know this man!!! NON PHIXION & ARSONISTS= CLASSIC

[FireKracker44]

"Dont give up hope you guys"

I see what you did there

[ashrok1982]

@FireKracker44 lol...Word.

[quipp209]

Bro I just wanna say you have gotten really good at reviews since I sub to you pretty dope channel n I'm with you on cable being the best painting mu figure good shit Bro... You make me wanna start doing videos again.. n my area still hasn't got no new two packs (still waiting for dd pack) are the new series 4 wave

[ashrok1982]

@quipp209 Thanks bro and thanks for the support from the beginning. Those new 2 packs will hit hard soon enough (eventually all 2 packs become peg warmers)...stay patient. And you need to get back on the grind with reviews! Thanks again dude.

[laurence1138]

Amen to that! Every word of it. Awesome figure and what an MU year we have ahead! By the way, your Psylocke review was brilliant - made me laugh my ass off at the end of a long working week. Thanks m'man!

[ashrok1982]

@laurence1138 Thanks man. We have a great year coming indeed! And glad I can help...we all need to laugh everyday.

[umxanthax]

Love the intro man. I was stoked when I found Cable w/ Hope a few months back. Right before Christmas I found the Hope-less Cable and was suprised. Glad to have both! Great review man.

[ashrok1982]

@umxanthax Thanks man. Your one lucky SOB...I've seen the no hope a couple times...but scalpers out here in Chicago made sure to pick up the regular.

[anthony9484]

i wish i had the time to find cable wit baby hope i find the cable var

[ashrok1982]

@anthony9484 True. You'll pay stupid prices online...it sucks balls.

[nunshinghim]

The figure is great but it is rare in my city,sad.....

[ashrok1982]

@nunshinghim Trust me...its rare almost anywhere...

[Scabricauda]

Can't wait to get the Beast and Kraven new figures this year!

[ashrok1982]

@Scabricauda Those 2 I am anticipating the most right now.

[flyguydotnet]

My #1 MU fig too, awesome review as usual Ash. FB link no worky dude...

[ashrok1982]

@flyguydotnet Thanks man...I'll fix that for ya.

[MHB42089]

this is my favorite X-MAN character man and he is also my #1 mu fig grate review homie like always

[ashrok1982]

@MHB42089 True story man. Thank you.

[garhoch]

Ya know I can put up with a few (relatively) crappy repaint waves to skip if there are three solid waves of must haves and favorites...Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Kang....Angel, Nighthawk, Nova, Hercules, Puck.

The only problem is finding them. Oh, and maybe balancing money with Marvel legends back now.

[ashrok1982]

@garhoch True story. I'm so stocked for the Nova...BAD ASS CHARACTER!

[serratos95]

Dude you are spot on. Another excellent review. Personally, this is my favorite MU fig of all time, and is the only figure that I have a loose and MOC one. And I agree with you 100% we have got some crazy stuff coming for us like punisher, she Hulk, prof x, jubilee, angel, Scarlett witch etc. and I haven't even read house of M, but I read x force and cable and I think that then Messiah War storyline was simply badass! Great job again

[ashrok1982]

@serratos95 Thanks homie. Yeah, I can't tell you how bad I want those figures. Oh, and go read House of M!!! It is the origin to all the other stuff you've read...great book.

[RobesMarlin]

I'm only gonna buy one of each to keep on card until they get their shit straight. The last 2 waves I had barely any pleasure in opening. Great vid.

What do you think about the Gimmick Series (Comic Series) Avengers figs?

[ashrok1982]

@RobesMarlin Cool. I think those Avenger figures are straight BOOTY! I want to try some of the Comic Series figures...but even they look like ass. When it comes to the movie figures I'm very picky...cuz they usually suck.

[MrProspectPark]

Awesome Review! Cable is definitely in my top 5 Marvel Universe Characters. I'm going to make a prediction and say that "Kraven The Hunter" will be one of the best in 2012! Along side that Beast. BTW isnt that shield on Patriot almost as big as he is? 

[ashrok1982]

@MrProspectPark FUCK YES MAN! I said in my SDCC preview video that Kraven and Beast will be amazing...can't wait for those figures man.

[benzer385]

Love the writing intro dude you gotta make videos more frequently on friday because i always wait for your vids your frickin hilarious man.

[ashrok1982]

@benzer385 Appreciate it bro. Sunday is the only time I have anytime to do anything! I would love to pump out more videos, but 1. I work like a dog and 2. I want to put quality reviews for you folks.

[AmateurFilmStudios]

i cant wait for the new MU figures like the new hulk and she-hulk, and were technicaly geting a play set of the shield helicarrier so im super excited

[ashrok1982]

@AmateurFilmStudios Me too man. The helicarrier looks AMAZING...we'll have to wait and see tho...

[robvandell]

o yeah bout the cyke thing he better care bout wat nightcrawler would say or nightcrawler whoop his ass lol can wait till he comes back

[ashrok1982]

@robvandell lol...true

[robvandell]

awsome review i truely belive tht marvel universe is getting better and going to better with the beast beat ray thor kraven the hunter i dont even like kraven at all and they got me want me to get this guy and i got to say tht i dont really care about the repaints or reuse molds or wat ever the case may be (execpt for tht new gambit tht was just bad) im just happy there making these characters

[ashrok1982]

@robvandell Me too man. Kraven will be a classic figure. Our first Spidey villain since Electro in the MU

[Ultratron563]

i found the variant and the red skull variant at the disney store

[ashrok1982]

@Ultratron563 Sweet! Great pick ups.

[rocfl59]

great review, this also one of my forvorite figure to, what you said about hasbro is true man but it just hurt us we have to go threw this man . but i know is going to get better.

[ashrok1982]

@rocfl59 Oh it will bro. Vonner is the pimp of toys...and we are his whores...lmao

[cartmantke]

great review. this figure is dope! i have the Hope-less version (never saw one anywhere) and i love it. cant wait for the Patriot review, I am excited to pick that one up.

btw, I agree that the character development is great for Cyclops, but it has made me dislike him even more that i did before as he acts more and more like Magneto to me. Schism really put the point on the head for me.

[ashrok1982]

@cartmantke Thanks J. Yeah, I know what Cyke has done in the last couple years has been nuts...but to me he did what needed to be done. Amazing character development with what was going on with mutants.

[prebelo100]

Nice review! Picked this guy as my # 1 for 2011 too. Def one of my favorite MUs that I own.

[ashrok1982]

@prebelo100 Thanks man. He's sick as shit!

[Scabricauda]

Gotta get one of these! :D

[ashrok1982]

@Scabricauda Yes you do...trust me AMAZING FIGURE!
