Original Human Torch (Jim Hammond) (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:1759
Name:Original Human Torch (Jim Hammond)
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:search4skills  
Date Added:February 13, 2007
Base Figure:Marvel Legends Captain Marvel
Height:6.00 inches
The rookie again. Third project. The original Human Torch

Took the head from Birds of Prey figure and placed it on a Captain marvel Figure (put the captain marvel head on the BOP and it looks kinda of cool). Painted with Chevy Engine Red.

Marvel's neck was kind of long so painting the neck "flesh tone" did not look quite right. So not quite comic accurate but I think it looks good for a third custom. Hope you enjoy. Or at the least I hope it inspires those of you who can really do this hobby to make some more old school Legends :)

Quantum 7 created a Bucky for me. So I guess the Toro should be about that height. I was thinking of using a AOA wolverine but he is a little too buff I am using a Marvel Legends Human Torch (johnny storm) as a placement for Toro. I hear a Cap in his Original Uniform is coming out. I will wait to see what that looks like. If it isn't any good I hope I have acquired enough skills by then to make my own. I also need to make namor in his speedos

He is an android. Created by a Dr. Horton. He started off not being able to control his flame whenever he came into contact with oxygen. He not only learned to control his flame he could also control flame not generated by him. He was with the Invaders along with a young mutant (Toro) who had similar powers. Other members included Captain America, Bucky and Namor.
He (despite being an android) gave a BLOOD transfusion to a young lady who gained speed (Spitfire).
At one time he was thought to be the Avengers Vision after being re-tooled by Ultron. However, that was changed at a later date.
I am hoping to find a short figure to create a flamed off Toro (he ran around with disco boots and trunks; like he could have been Namor's sidekick instead). Johnny Storm took a red suit at one point in honor of Jim Hammond
am I showing my age?

Yeah, I figured he learned to control it. I was just verifying that it was him that was like that. He's an android too, right?

Wasn't the original Human Torch on fire originally because his bodie reacted with air?
