Cable and Domino

Cable and Domino

Marvel Legends Deadpool Wave

More Deadpool goodness in celebration of the "Merc with the Mouth's" big-screen sequel.  Marvel Legends brought out some comic versions of two character featured in the new movie:  Cable and Domino.  The X-Force roster is growing more and more as time passes!    Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Rob Liefeld designs, but their ridiculousness translates into some fun toys! Viva la 1990's!

I have a more modern Cable from a few waves back, but I just couldn't pass up this first-appearance take.  The oversized shoulder things, the over-used utility pouches, the giant guns, the gross color scheme...so cheesy-good!  The detail is great here, like he leapt from the pages of the comics.

"Your pouches...give them to me."

I like what they did here with the plastic, cybernetic eye thing.  Even that thing on the side of his head looks great.  What is that?  A giant  Bluetooth device from a future that has never come to pass?  Ah, time travel inconsistencies...maybe he's kicking butt while listening to the Cubs win the 2015 World Series?



 The Domino figure fairs a bit better in the style department with her modern look.  Like my previous review of the Deadpool/Venom figure, its hard to beat a clean black-and white paint job.  Unlike Cable's eye-thingy and his plated-arms, you have to use your imagination in play to show off Domino's mutant power of luck.  It sounds ridiculous, but "Deadpool 2" made sense of it in some pretty great sequences.

She does have some nice, metallic armor here an there for variety.  There are some good, battle-damage nicks and scratches in the detail.  I'm not sure if that's a comic-accurate thing, but the purple guns?  Whatever...a bit cartoony, but some variety at least.
























All in all, I am happy to add these figures to my growing Marvel Legends X-Family.  *SPOILER* - If you are a die-hard Shatterstar fan, you might skip DP2.  Wait...what am I saying?  Shatterstar "fans?" Does. Not. Compute. Go see DP2 now!
