Sam really, really deserves better.

Though one of the forum comments did propose a good "fix" (Shatterstar legs and pelvis, Captain America boots), but really, this shouldn't have been given the go-ahead where it needed this kind of fix in the first place. I do hope someone calls them out at SDCC about this one, because it's just lazy.

I completely agree. As much as the top half of Cannonball looks great, and I will use him for flying scenes, I'll stick with my older Hasbro version for everything else, simply because he's a complete figure. I'd like to think they'd redo him with a full body at some point, but I'm not sure he's high profile enough. They really just messed up badly on this one and it's a rarity for them with this line the last few years.
