I know we're sick of Blowtorch's. He's one of my favourite Joes but I just hate how the modern one can't hold his weapon. I did it once with the POC one but from that knowledge, I figured out the proper places to cut his arm so that it can bend more where it is needed without ruining the look too much.
Again, modified the stock so it can retract to help him hold the flamethrower. Because of where I cut the arm, I was able to use his actual hands without switching to Snow Job hands, which is what I did on a previous one. He's a figure I thought was totally unneccesary but I do like his darker red better on this one so he's now my default one. Stock retracted: Stock extended: Shows how he looks after I cut the material away on his upper arms. Just minor changes, but I really like this Blowtorch now. I don't know why, but I really liked the 50th star logo too.

I like what you did with the stock. Is it retractable now? What size drill bit did you use if any? Got any close ups of the modification and with the stock removed? I'm gonna have to do this and not worry too much if I mess up since Blowtorch is going for like 99 cents sometimes.

Sorry, I don't remember the size. I just used one I knew was too small and then went up one size at a time. Here's some pics though.

You can change his right hand with Snow Job's if you want, it fits and it's less at an angle.
clever work, hope we get these out east...

Great job. Now I have a reason to pick up this set. I wanted the Viper but could not think of a reason to get the two pack. Awesome. My wife however will not like you. :-)
