I remember first time seeing blowtorch in the back of the carded figure of duke, and then I finally saw a figure in a local toystore and seeing him in the comics and the cartoons.

it's great seeing new figures online before we see them hit the local toy stores.

since blowtorch flamethrower outfit details is fully upgraded then the original figure of 1984, this figure will work great for arctic mission working with snow job, iceberg and frostbite battle evil snow serpents.

let's hope for a upgraded ripcord figure (NOT the gijoe movie version).

Torpedo, B.A.T, Cobra Para Trooper, CP Firefly and this figure may be my faves thus far.

Least liked figure. Wraith. He looks shoddy.

I got my Blowtorch from BBTS today! He looks great. I'm going to open him tonight. It's also cool that I have gotten a wave 13 figure before I got any wave 11 or 12. This is the first time I have done this in this line. Mainly because I'm passing on most of wave 11 and almost all of wave 12. Anyway it's cool seeing the back of the card and seeing figures I don't have yet for a change. It reminds me when I was a kid.

I picked one up at Frank and Son's today.

In the package, he looks amazing. But, taking him out and putting him together, I was disappointed with one particular part-- and I just can't seem to over look it.

His original helmet and mask was very distinct. I looked like a GAS mask (and helmet), but in this version, they just gave him a pilot's helmet and mask (Cobra Para's). It looks completely wrong on Blowtorch-- who was one of my original fav's.

Others might not find this much of an issue, but I just don't like it at all. This is one of those cases where re-cycling gear just did not work at all for me.

Also, he can't hold his flamethrower with two hands. Well, he can-- but not unless he's holding it completely sideways. But, that I can live with-- the mask is another issue. He just looks too much like a pilot with that helmet and mask.

Bummer.
