Advent calendar ICFTTC 9: Guthrie Boom! In his pants..

No, really, he kinda does... Samuel Guthrie, Cannonball, basically blasts off using stored energy which is often released by his lower body. Hasbro seems to have run out of money making this wave since they forgot his legs. (Customization of a Paladin figure.
 might solve the problem. Additional Cannonball may be required)

Articulation:
Normal from the waist up...

So, since he's half a figure with half of the articulation, he gets half a score:
2.5
Taco Bell, Taco Bell
Product placement for Taco Bell!
Paint and sculpt:
The actual half of Sam we have looks pretty neat. It's based on Cannonball X-Force look and it looks so much better than the version made with Ghost Rider's body from way back in the day. 
The blast effect looks pretty nice albeit a bit too small.  it's easily noticeable that Sam's legs cannot be heated by the blast.
3.0
Diarrhea! Cha cha cha!

Accessories:
Build a Figure piece.
I know that budget allocated to wave standard to be the reason why some accessories are cut but in Sam's case the legs are a bit important. 
1.0
Poor Samuel... he has no dick!

Overall:
Cannonball gets a 3.25 as his final Score. The lack of legs REALLY hurt his score. He should not have been a part of the wave if they couldn't do him properly. Siryn could've been a "wave filler" with practically no "new sculpted pieces"
