It's he just the cutest widdle thing!!! Just don't get too close, he's hot. The Human Torch was made from, of all characters, Iceman! This version is from the Spider-Man & Friends line from Toy Biz. The base figures is molded in a clear plastic, making him ideal for a painting in clear colors. I needed to remove some of Icman's frosting paint, so I carefully used some "Goof Off" diluted in water. Be very careful with this method, "Goof Off" can melt some forms of plastic and turn your figure into goo. I found this out the hard way! After all the frost paint was removed I used a hot melt glue to create the flames on his shoulders, arms and legs. I had to try a few time, in order to get the flame shape I was looking for. When this figure is back light, he really stands out!!
