If my Pay Pal account wasn't totally empty, I'd buy one off of you. I loved the original Blowtorch when I was a kid, and I really want this update.

Anyone who doesn't like the colors, just dilute the hell out of some Tamiya black acrylic with rubbing alchohol (so it will stick) and give him a good wash. I did that with mine and now he LOOKS like a guy that walks through walls of flame for a living and really pops out the sculpt details. I'm waiting to use my friend's cam to post pics.

Excellent figure, except for the mask.
The helmet fits fine, but the mask pops off. Other than that he's yet another killer update of the original, just like V1 Firefly, Barbecue, or BAT.

Back in 1984, we were poor, my mom and dad worked hard just to provide a roof and food, so Joes were hard to come by.
One day my mom arrived home with Blowtorch... I was so happy. So I was looking forward to this figure. He's a nice sculpt and a great head. My only gripe is his lack of arm possibility.

I was really excited for this figure and I should love it, but it is probably the worst in the line. From the mask that doesn't fit on to the backpack which is molded upside down (the tanks are supposed to face up not down), this figure missed the mark at nearly every turn, despite being a very faithful recreation of one of my favorite vintage figures. booooo!!!!!

thanks for the review without this I think I would have passed up on this figure. I didn't feel good enough buying him until I saw this review thanks again.
