It's getting hot in here, so show off your new clothes.<\/p>\n

Johnny Storm can transform his body into incredibly hot plasma, control fire, and fly.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wait, he can? I thought he just kind of covered himself with fire, not that he was<\/b> fire all the way through. Like, if you had some kind of melt-proof shackles, and could get them on him, would they hold him in place or would he just kind of ooze through them unhindered?<\/p>\n

Unlike his sister, Johnny is not fundamentally identical to the Walgreens release<\/a>. [And yet you're only reviewing him on the blog anyway, you lazy butt? --ed.] And it's not just that the exclusive was fully flamed-on while this one is human, or that this one is in his modern costume - it's a different body, with the extra pec hinges<\/a>, so he can aim his flame forward, I guess.<\/p>\n

The head is new, showing Johnny's short blond hair. Put that on a SHIELD body<\/a> and you'd have a pretty good Clay Quartermain. We also get alternate fiery hands, and some flames to wrap around his forearms. So he's less a Human Torch, and more a Human Grilling Accident.<\/p>\n

What's selling him, however, are the BAF pieces. The Build-A-Figure for this series is the Super Skrull<\/a>, and Johnny has the left arms: one big and rocky, with a removable flame, and the other slender and normal. Guess we'll be able to build a regular Skrull if we want.<\/p>\n
