But at least I have this as an option now once I complete it. As a newbie customizer, this wasn't actually all that difficult to do.

Whose lower half did ya use?

I used Shatterstar. Technically any Bucky Cap figure should work, but Shatterstar will make painting it easier since the joints are already in white.

EDIT: Oh, and the boots are from the OG Civil War Cap.

Well supposedly Hasbro has "Acknowledged the Cannonball complaints" so we'll see him re-released in the near future with legs... maybe....

A "parts" pack consisting of a calm Beast head, Wolfsbane's X-Factor upper body and Cannonball's legs.

Why just Wolfsbane's upper body? She needs legs too. Throw in a classic Wendigo head as well.

a double parts pack then! We'll also throw in the upper body of Emma Frost to make a more classic White Queen outfit.

The question is should they try to line up the parts closely in the packaging to look like a figure (they wouldn't actually be connected though) or should they just be scattered throughout the plastic? Imagine it: Beast Head, Emma Frost Body, Cannonball legs!

Yeah I think they should do it kinda the way Dc collectibles did and release it as a accessory pack. All I know is somehow someway We better get a Cannonball legs. Because that’s the only reason that’s stopped me from buying the figure. Don’t wanna drop $20 on half a fig haha. But you’ve got some great ideas ha. Hasbro outta hire you ha.

Amazon says they'll have them on the 15th, it's possible other e-tailers have similar dates or may get them sooner as happened with the Wendigo and retro X-waves. Petty was right, waiting sucks.

Thanks that is helpful! Maybe we will start seeing movement on these in another week. I think the new cap and Iron Man are neat but a classic Thor was the only one I just couldn't resist.

Calling it now: they'll do some sort of X-Force box set or two-pack with one or two new characters and then legged-up Cannonball.

Trivial Psychic · 08-09-2019, 03:16 PM

All this talk of Cannonball and legs...

Does anyone not need the Wendigo leg (right leg) that came with Cannonball? Help a brotha out!

larryw3158 · 08-09-2019, 03:55 PM

Hi Everyone,

Just to let you all know I just came from the Walmart in Niles on Touhy and they had a dozen of the Binary Caps just sitting there! So they ARE being re-released. Don't pay scalpers!

How about some more Alpha Flight? Starjammers?

StuartGreen2019 · 08-09-2019, 06:24 PM

So where was it reported Hasbro has "acknowledged the Cannonball complaints"? Is there an interview or website article link?

What I want to know is, will Hasbro acknowledge the Doc Ock tentacles complaints and do bendy wire tentacles for him? Or will we have to wait for a new Doctor Octopus figure with a new body/costume? And I agree with Nash. Beast needs a calm Beast head. And we need an optic blast for the upcoming 3-pack Cyclops. And a calm/smiling Captain America head, since I hate all the "angry caveman" recent head sculpts.

Fingers crossed Hasbro acknowledges that fans want to see Firestar, classic Falcon, classic Electro (with normal alternate gloved hands this time please), Silver Centurion Iron Man and First Appearance Storm and will make them all into new figures next year.

Tim · 08-09-2019, 06:55 PM

Would anyone happen to have a Silver Samurai or more importantly a ice-man from the retro wave for trade?

TheBlueMarvel · 08-09-2019, 06:56 PM

What the hell ever happened to Super Skrull?

Completely valid question. Was he ever officially revealed? Or was he just a rumor?

TheBlueMarvel · 08-09-2019, 06:59 PM

Where the hell is the 'Legends' Desrtoyer??
