Human Torch

Might as well have a thread for him too. Forgive the stock photos, but I wanted to have some pics here.

Very nice toy with little or no back kibble. The semi-translucent orange plastic with flames molded in give it a "jet on fire" look that really works for a mech that's supposed to be powered by Johnny's Nova Blast.

Even though he may look it, he is not a remold of Iron Man. A couple of the transformation steps are similar, but it's definitely a new mold.

My only real complaint is that the head reveal gimmick doesn't always get his head completely revealed, but gently pulling up gets it into place and stays there.

I agree on the head gimmick only working halfway. But he is an awesome figure in his own right and even gets waist rotation, unlike Iron Man (don't have IM yet but I believe he has no waist rotation) Poses really good, and like ya said the kibble folds nice and flat on the back. His nosecone is a bit fiddly until you do it a few times, but he is good enough to be used as a component in a custom TF combiner I am doing. He has a suprising range of jointery on him, I was happy to find even the ankles getting the treatment! If you like Human Torch, or even just jet TFs I can recommend him without hesitation!

I was curious to see comparisons, so I headed over and checked out the gallery section at TFW

This pic is from Cataclizm1.

Looking good!

That's correct, due to IM's transformation, he has no waist rotation. The funny thing is, about the only thing wrong with the stock photo of him is the plane cockpit isn't moved down to reveal a stylized IM chest emblem.
