It isn't an offensive figure, but it doesn't fit anything in particular outside of '97, which I don't watch.

I purchased all off the first two waves except the X-cutioner. All of which I considered close enough to looks I want, despite being repeated figs in my collection. However, having Cable, and pre-ordering Apocalypse, has me thinking to jump out of '97 before I'm knee-deep in another Legends line has me buying redrafts of characters and costumes I already have with little difference beyond style and miniscule improvements.

Something looks off about Cable to me and I can't place my finger on what. I'm just glad I have no interest in a 90s vresion of Cable. The only Cable I would buy would be his New Mutants/X-Tinction Agenda iteration, and even that is questionable since I felt New Mutants really took a turn for the worse when he came into the series.
