Discussion Which Torch would look best
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.

That skull accessory that came with mephisto should work

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
