Hasbro gave us a decent Blowtorch but some thing needed to be improved in my opinion. To start eh legs they did a very poor job on them didn't look like the ARAH one at all. The helmet was ok but having both Ripcord and Blowtorch with the same helmet just doesn't seem right besides they could have done a bit better taking into account the helmet they used in the Spytroops and BTR lines. So I went with that sadly I had to give him a new head because the original 25th just doesn't fit inside. Wish I had a Spytroops one at hand so I guess I will use this one for now. I painted the fuel tank on the pack and came up with a scheme to attach a machine gun to his backpack.
Parts list: Head: DTC Barrel Roll Torsos: 25th Blowtorch Arms: 25th Blowtorch Legs: ARAH Blowtorch Helmet: BTR Blowtorch Backpack: 25th Blowtorch Flametrower: 25th Blowtorch with MU IM flames

Interesting take on him. I like the helmet switch. I wish I still had my BTR Blowtorch. At least with the vintage legs, he legs are the same length...haha.

The legs don't look good at all. They look like tree trunks. The helmet is ok. It's different, but I wouldn't call it much of an improvement.

Huh. Somehow it hadn't occurred to me that ARAH legs would be compatible. I'll be damned.
