It came from the Toy Chest: a tale of two Nathan Summerseseses

I have both the Juggernaut and Sasquatch wave Cable figures, so let's tackle them and see their pros and cons... doing a 2 for 1 because I DON'T want yo do two Cable rants in a row.

Cable: Son of Cyclops and Madeline Pryor (sp?) A clone of Jean Grey that Cyclops started shagging when Jean died as the whole fire and life incarnate thing. He was senr to rhw future and he came back to the past to stop En Sabah Nur and stuff.

The Juggernaut wave Cable is a more modern take to the character, while the Sasquatch wave Cable Is a more CLASSIC take on him. I think of Cable and the Sasquatch wave is the first image that comes to mind. Let's get cracking:

Juggernaut wave Cable 
Articulation 
Standard ML fare for him... aside the ball joint on the torso. The shins are slightly hindered by tje armor.
4.0
Mandatory Liefeld can't draw feet pic.

Paint and sculpt
Like I said earlier, this Cable is a more modern version of him, which means his face is partially covered in cybernetics from the technovirus. Me no likey. There seens to be a slight wash on his techno arm,  but everything else is super plain.
3.5
Deadpool: Really, Nathan? You brought me an Adult Toy based on the Juggernaut and it's 1:1 scale? You really are the bestest friend ever!

Accessories:

Juggernaut's crotch
2 guns
It's cable, he needs guns...
4.0
DP: it's funny because Josh Brolin

Overall
Juggernaut wave Cable gets a 3.83 as his final score. He's OK, but he is NOT WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I THINK OF CABLE.

Sasquatch wave Cable 
Articulation
Standard ML fare for him here. No hidden tricks on his articulation. The Liefeldian Pauldrons limit some of the articulation.
4.0
DP I kiss your badly drawn feet in admiration 

Paint and sculpt
This figure is super crisp and clean on the paint applications. Only the pouches got a wash here. The paint shortcomings are compensated by the superb sculpt. Hily ass crackers he shares sculpt with the Juggernaut wave Cable... the waist to the knees is literally the same sculpt.
Also, the Pauldrons make him look Huge. He even has the energy projection on his left eye...
5.0
DP: I bet you're hiding an even bigger gun in that oversized Liefeldian crotch...

Accessories 
Sasquatch leg
3 guns
5.0
DP: OHMYGOD!! A TOYBIZ FIGURE!! KILL IT WITH FIRE, NATE!!

Overall:
Sasquatch wave Cable gets a 4.67 as his dinal score. Je is the superior figure and more iconic of the two.
