Blowtorch was one of my favorite figures as a kid, but one thing that has bothered me about all of the modern era versions is that from the knees down, they're all pretty awful IMO. So I finally got around to finding the "right" knees and feet:
I also added a holster for a sidearm and flame effects because why not make a simple job more complex? hahahahahaha I also did some structural adjustments to his arms so he could pose with his blowtorch better... I almost got frustrated and clipped off the stock entirely. Enjoy! HM

Nice. Blowtorch was one of my favorites as well. The 25th one's articulation and small feet was disappointing.

Well dang, I always thought the 25th Blowtorch was a great figure and you made me go and look at his feet
Great job! I love what you are doing with all of your recent Joe customs.

You have pushed this into perfection. What Hasbro should have delivered, but of course didn't.

You didnt have to do much to make him look better that the 25th we did get man those feet were so small . Threw off the look of the figure and his balance .
