I purchased the Cable and Jean pack and since I've always loved Cable and Domino I was forced to get this pack to complete the couple. Marvel and their sneakiness.

I love Domino. She's not great looking, but there is something about the figure that makes me love her. And she has better control of her guns than Cable did in the other pack. The guns actually fit her hand and do not fall out easily. Obviously she was taken from the Leifield (broken anatomy and pouches galore)type of drawing and thus she has a HUGE belt covered waist and tiny arms. I can't complain about the arms, as the thinness allows them to be molded into new angles, making it possible for her to reach to her holster for a gun. It's a nice pose I haven't been able to accomplish with other figures.

Cannonball on the other hand, has always looked goofy to me, and the fact that he was left in an OLD costume is just awkward. Whatever the reasoning behind it is, I'm not pleased. I'm also disappointed that the way he was put into the box(all of the packs are like this) his right knee joint is bent awkwardly. He basically looks like he has a busted knee; thigh completely disconnected from the calf.

Domino made the pack worth it for $9 at WalMart.

I don't quite understand why Hasbro bothered dressing Cannonball in an outfit that he hasn't worn since the Executioner's song series in the X-Men.

Two possibilities why:
a) It's the classic outfit that he's known for
b) Because of the material - kinda rubbery chest - articulation and general feel, it's a repaint/build of surplus Ghost Rider figurines.

I would have appreciated this more if they provided him with a "blast field" stand - much like what Storm and the HUman Torch have. Still, it's Cannonball! A staple of the X-Men! A must have.

They made me take Domino. I didn't have a choice (Obviously, it's a two pack). I was really dissapointed with Domino. Oversized guns, oversized holsters, poor articulation due to having thin limbs - but a huge... waistline. And she has a face that makes her look like a dog with a receding hairline. Definitely something you'd put at the back of Cable - thank God he's tall enough to hide her.
