What is Cable Guys? The Official Guide to Licensed Character Device Holders

What is Cable Guys?

Cable Guys is a range of officially licensed character accessories made by Exquisite Gaming (EXG). Each figure is a poseable character — arms and legs built from flexible PVC — designed to grip and display your phone, tablet, or gaming controller.

Every Cable Guys figure is produced under an official character licence. That means the Spider-Man on your desk isn't a knock-off — it's the real thing, authorised by Marvel.

How do Cable Guys work?

Each figure has flexible arms and legs that you bend to grip your device. Place your phone, controller, or tablet between the arms and the figure holds it securely. When you need the device, just take it out — no clips, no damage, no fuss.

The poseable design means you can display the figure naturally even when it isn't holding a device. Most Cable Guys sit at around 8–12 cm tall and work as desk collectibles in their own right.
