    Human torch 1.0

    Go easy on me here, folks. This is a really old custom that I never posted before. Standard Famous Covers Daredevil/Human Torch conversion. I painted up my own head, but when I got this head in a lot from gaga4toyz, I knew I had to swap it out. I added a chunk of flame-shaped plastic from a Happy Meal toy. Used FC Carnage hands.

    I'm trying to ease my way back into customizing. This was a quickie.







    I called this version one, because I have some flame-print spandex and a red resin-cast mego Human Torch head burning a hole in my pocket. (so to speak)

    thanks for looking cats and kittens!

    Excellent quickie there, I like it.

    Which Human Torch is this? The one from the 40's or the one from the Fantastic Four?

        I guess the FF, I've always thought of the WW2 one as having no face. That would be a cool one to do.

          That looks sweet! You should goto the fabric store and buy a bottle of bright yellow fabric paint and drop little flames all over his body. That would sweeten up that Human Torch. Nice job!

            Looks great as it is. Don't change a thing.

            What body are you using for him?

                Love him! The Torch is a fun subject for customs.

                    Well, actually, he is a Famous Covers smaller body. I hope that isn't too big a sin.

                      Looks nice. It's hard to get flames right, but you did it.

                            He's just like the comic book versions! Great work! I'm looking forward to seeing version 2, also.
