*UPDATE* I finally got around to weathering his flamethrower a little so it doesn't look brand new.
Blowtorch is probably my all time favourite Joe. I've had all the vintage variations and International ones of him. When Hasbro finally announced the release of the green one, I was really happy. I also love how the modern version of his flamethrower has a handle on the front too. Wish the vintage one had that too. Unfortunately, the bulkiness of the uniform and the angle of the hands do not allow him to make use of both handles on the flamethrower. When I got this Blowtorch, I knew I had to make him my ultimate one so I set out to do something really ambitious and I'm still surprised that I pulled it off. List of mods: Modified neck joint so he can look up more Added working holster on right thigh (to copy the vintage version that had a holster there) Modified stock of flamethrower so it retracts and extends Modified his hands with Renegade Snake Eyes' hands Details of how he can hold the flamethrower now Holster detail

Once this figure was announced I knew your were going to give him a wicked update. Good job.

Thanks! Doing the hands was scary cause I had to drill into the peg and was scared they might snap but they held. Don't think it would work on last year's cause plastic was so soft.

Thanks. Now that I managed to do this, I'm contemplating doing the same thing to the FSS TNT. Just really don't want to risk destroying him though just cause he costs more than the Blowtorch.

Great mods my friend! I especially like the added holster and the telescopic stock.
