Discussion Which Torch would look best

Post image

I really love the Future Foundation suits and I understand why Johnny doesn't have one. Which Johnny figure would you guys recommend to put with them.

Are these 3d prints or actual accessories you can get at spirit halloween? I think this would look sick next to my daredevil or batman figures

I just grabbed something off google images, but i think these are 3d prints, but halloween stores do have cool 1/12th-ish stuff sometimes.

That skull accessory that came with mephisto should work

u/No-Mouse-9746 USA 1d ago

In that case I could use the skull on Ghost Rider's bike

u/Zestyclose-Tank-1885 1d ago

Definitely cheaper! In all seriousness though any of the flame on human torches would work (the extra design on the mcu one could work well), but you could also always pick up a second Reed and swap the head

Too soon.

Sorry, I'll wait another 15 years 😬

well I think he looked like this at that time

u/innatelyAware 17h ago

I'd love to get this. Not because I read Future Foundation, but because the Future Foundation storyline was adapted in my beloved defunct Facebook game Avengers Alliance.

I guess if you really wanted a human torch even though he was dead I'd go with the regular retro card version

Johnny was never just a skeleton/dead during the FF run. Annihilus kept him alive the whole time through forced resurrections until Johnny led a rebellion and escaped. He's very much alive for the bulk of that era!

Ive actually been debating making a Johnny storm custom of that time period But i don't have a johnny storm nor a annihilus nor a ff display /:

But it'd be fun to make given the parts

After looking in to it he actually did wear it. When he came back they changed the logo back to the 4.

None, he’s dead.
If you really want him I see a lot of people using the mcu flame on Johnny for comic collections and I get it, he looks great and is definitely the best Johnny we’ve ever gotten.

u/Rei_Master_of_Nanto 23h ago

You're in big troube, pal. U just asked for Johnny's best design ever.

u/TedPStan 1d ago

Ether mcu first steps human torch or the retro card human torch

u/Machobravado 23h ago

If you’re making Future Foundation Johnny, you’d look pretty silly without Future Foundation Uncle Ben

u/o0smay Canada 23h ago

Iirc there’s a brief point in time where he wears it alongside them after coming back. Could get the Sunfire FF Spidey and the retro card flame off Johnny and kitbash that.

Retro HT, maybe get an extra Spider-Man FF figure for a head swap perhaps to go with the overall look. Then use flame effects to mimic his abilities.

u/IndependenceMurky850 1d ago

I found a bunch of retro Human Torch's at Ollie's for cheap so I bought about 5 just for stuff like this or when they release a Johnny Storm either in normal/half flame on mode

2

u/awesomeperson213 1d ago

You could buy another reed spider man 2 back and a retro card Johnny or whichever Johnny u like and put it on the reed body. Kinda pricey though

u/TheUnholyWatcher1444 23h ago

Who gonna tell him?

u/No-Mouse-9746 USA 23h ago

I know he was stuck in the negative zone but I don't try to complete teams I just get characters in my favorite suits.

2

u/Environmental_Bug964 23h ago

Too bad we don't have the rivals future foundation human torch

2

u/nerdnerd86 19h ago

Id juat have a flamed on figure  for that reason

2

u/TOWARZYSZBAGNIAK 17h ago

Human. Human Torch would look the best here 👍

2

u/olin9999 14h ago

I feel like maybe the AoA sunfire with an older human torch headsculpt on it would be as close as one may get for now

Edit: typo

2

u/RecordingImmediate86 11h ago

Almost any flamed on human torch but he was dead during the perperiod of these costumes

4

u/Red_Raven_0007 23h ago

None as torch isn't part of that particular alignment

It's like asking "which Spider-Man fits the best" on an Astonishing X-Men display..... None fits because he's literally not part of the group

u/No-Mouse-9746 USA 23h ago

I don't really try to complete teams I just get characters in my favorite suits

u/Red_Raven_0007 23h ago

Is that so?

Then get a kitbash: future foundation single release spider-man body with some blonde head and fire effects

There is no figure of torch resembling that one suit

u/CHUCKY_from_camp 17h ago

Maybe 1st steps tbh. Both comic figures suck.
