That is a good point Bill, but actually there is a VERY good reason for that. By reusing some minor pieces here and there, they can cut down on the production cost of the figure, and then pass that along to the consumer, you. Instead of paying a sculptor to make a new pair of boots, then pay to have them cast and painted, then pay to have molds made for production, they can take a pair they already have, that are pretty damn close use those, and save all that money. By doing that, they can offer the figure cheaper, especially if they can do it a couple times with each figure, ie boots, hands, body, pants etc. MANY companies do this in some way or another, some are more sucessful about hiding it, and blending it in, some, not so much. I do get the sentiment though man. And if they make part 8 Jason, I\'d run your ass over to get him!
