Marvel Select Human Torch Fantastic Four & Android Comic Diamond Select Toys Action Figure Review

[@Sir1626]

It's so awesome to see Marvel Select reviews. Their attention to detail always remind me of the good old Toy Biz Marvel Legends days. Especially with a badass stand like that

[@pokaru2581]

Diamond Select has the biggest packaging I swear

[@earlchatterton9133]

Yeah, and their packaging always looks ugly and wasteful to me. I love the Legends packing, but Select just looks cheap.

[@kenny7209]

@@earlchatterton9133 how does select look cheap tho?

[@earlchatterton9133]

@@kenny7209 Eh the plastic packaging looks cheap to me for some reason. I prefer the cardboard surrounding packaging that Legends has, and not the pop-out clear plastic, you know? Although Retro Legends as same thing, and I'm not a fan of those packaging either. Bit of a pain to open and not wreck. I keep all my Legends boxes.

[@danielmilliken8903]

@@earlchatterton9133 u still love the cardboard non plastic boxes ?

[@SirMoeThe2nd]

I really like translucent features, or figures, and I'm a Marvel Select collector. I almost feel like I shouldn't even question getting this.

[@Clay3613]

I wish Marvel Legends had those awesome fire effect bases/flightstands.

[@sakisgr1396]

The new upcoming marvel legends 1 barely has any extra effects, they didn't even include the big flame effects the Walgreens one had, yet they increased their prices...

[@nicholascorrin4648]

Just got this for my bday yesterday. It's perfection. And for legend fans it fits perfectly in flight mode for any ff line up:)

[@majordeej]

Awesome review on the Human Torch! You answered ALL of the questions I've had since I pre-ordered him ESPECIALLY about the '4' chestpiece (was hoping to use mine as the WWII Human Torch). Way to go, bro! Now I got a cool WWII Torch coming in!!!

[@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305]

this figure looks amazing. Bummer its 8 inches tall and won't go with legends, still might pick it up if I see it in person though

[@nicholascorrin4648]

Nope it works if you place him in flight mode at the back of any ff group. Now if your gonna go single file nope but he looks prefect with just a little arranging

[@actionfigurescollectionssu7854]

Yeah I know he’s too tall

[@AlphaProto]

Most of the accessories would work with Marvel Legends. Import flame effects cost more than this figure.

[@lowlypeasant]

Love that John Byrne artwork. Greatest comic artist ever.

[@juansanchez209]

I can't decide between John Byrne, Jack Kirby, or John Romita Sr., but those 3 are definitely the very best IMO

[@ebensennett3095]

@@juansanchez209 Personally, for me it's Jack Kirby, but Steve Ditko will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@juansanchez209]

@@ebensennett3095 As much as I love X-Men, I'm a classic Spider-Man fanboy at heart, so I think I lean a bit towards John Romita Sr. I think Steve Ditko is also really great, but I actually don't really dig his Spidey art that much; I think Romita Sr. was a better fit for the character. I think Ditko's work on Dr. Strange is his best work.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

Have to admit, an ML android Human Torch is very tempting--hope they are planning that release as a variant to their FF Torches.

[@MarkJones-zk3em]

I bought this figure several days ago and it's one of my favorite figures

[@matthewsheehan546]

When select gets it right it blows it out of the park...found this guy for 30$ at a comic store and hes easily one of my favorite display pieces

[@AlphaProto]

I don't buy Marvel Select, but I would get it for the accesories alone.

[@Beast_Of_Madness]

Jim Hammond (the android Human Torch) was THE first Marvel superhero, making his first appearance with Namor The Submariner. He burned Hitler to death, and his body was used to build Vision. He was in Captain America: The First Avenger at the World Expo.

[@Flassh81]

Wait wait wait. Explain. Was the Androids body used to make Vision? Or was Hitler's burned body used to build Vision? Cause that really makes Visions name super funny/problematic.

[@Beast_Of_Madness]

@@Flassh81 Ultron used the Human Torch to build Vision. On an unrelated note, the villain Hatemonger is a clone of Hitler with all his memories.

[@marksawyer6095]

Best torch figure to date. Flames on top of head should be more yellow to distinguish it from the head. Or a little less flame effect.

[@djmohglojojo]

Marvel/diamon select is ALWAYS a HIT-OR-MISS for me. This is most deff a HIT

[@TheIcecypher]

An amazing review for an amazing figure. That flying pose in the rotation scene was excellent, by the way.

[@fidey8496]

I didn’t even know this was coming out but it looks amazing. I love that they included th3 android head and the flight stand looks great. I can’t wait to get this

[@chineserocks77]

I saw this today in a local shop and I couldn't believe how good it looks. I don't own any selects but this is tempting.

[@popculturedownunder6935]

I think this looks nicer than the new Retro Legends version. But I’m going to have the legends versions of all the other figures. I like that this comes with the base and more flame effects. If I have him in an attack pose I wonder if I could make him work with the others and Galactus?

[@stevenburas3647]

Yes you can. He's just fine with other legends as long as he's in flight mode as he should be.

[@nottoofast]

Marvel Select always knows how to make me go "GAHH WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE 6 INCH FIGURES!?!"

[@bubpop21]

What realy sold me was that incredible base!!!

[@michaelnemo7629]

My problem with this, even though it's appreciated, is that Jim Hammond was always shown as heavier than Johnny. More of an adult body than Storm's young adult figure.

[@smiley.dmcallistor1987]

I'm a bit disappointed, they didn't include a coffee stain

[@tombowling8646]

Great review! Tempting figure! The old Tom would have gotten this. I gave all my Selects to my son and don't want to walk back down that road. I'm strictly Legends and Black Series. I want it. I'm not going to get it. I'm doing good. Clean and sober.

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks a pile for these Select reviews! From your reviews it is so easy to determine those that fit just a Select scene, or some that are great in a hybrid w/Legends (I'll dual you for the pick of destiny on this one - Select's Rhino is a perfect scale!!!!). I'm going to pass on the Torch (although the android looks giggity-giggity) until Select can complete the FF. I hope Hasbro was watching your Legends Dormammu review and this one - give us oranges and reds and for the love of Aunt Petunia some black lines - but wouldn't a fireball or two hit you in the tenders?

[@Oblock550]

YESSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW CANT WAIT FOR THE SETINEL REVIEW

[@gelmig]

Why would you have to heat this guy up? He's already made of fire... I'll see myself out. Great review though!

[@z_d_n4227]

Hi shartimus I’m a big fan I’ve been watching for 5 years

[@dylanpocock703]

I'd get that just for the base

[@shism28]

When you get the new legends torch can you see if the diamond hands fit on it too?

[@noirerequiemii101]

Can't wait to grab these, annoying they aren't very prominent in UK right now

[@baronvonpupi]

Dang, you’re really selling me on this bad boy

[@2067792332977602]

This figure confuses me, in what reason did they had to take such a step back in articulation, look at the inner leg cut, or how it has single jointed elbows and knees. It feels like a step back from what select had been doing.

[@RIME387]

Yeah, it looks like a figure DS would've made 10 years ago.

[@2067792332977602]

@@RIME387 exactly is what they did for venom and carnage back then.

[@CDCobermai]

I hope we get a Hammond Human Torch in Legends soon

[@jakethecollector1516]

Looks great. Wish he was a bit shorter but only to smudge into my legends line. That stand tho!

[@totalposer8726]

Hmmmm do you think it could fit into a marvel legends display or is it too big?

[@pugy2000]

I still want marvel legends to make an Android human torch, I don't collect in the 7in scale

[@fluffy6161]

My favorite fantastic 4 member

[@bluexray7319]

Waited months for this one!

[@michaelshade1702]

This figure is cool and all,but it has a fatal flaw to me......no bicep swivel

[@actionfigurescollectionssu7854]

I saw that same today at my local comic book store but why would I buy that for ? I pre-ordered That Retrowave of the fantastic four at GameStop, the Diamond select one is a Waste of money.

[@marvelanddcfans3380]

The figure is too skinny.In the comics,he was not overly pumped up but had some muscles.He is cool only with his accessories and especially the Flying effect!I hope something similar with be added by the version from Hasbro.

[@geoffreypiado2647]

i see you on tiktok hehe

[@smwhitby09]

I finally found the red guardian two pack

[@alandoane9168]

First Jim Hammond figure ever and his name doesn't even get mentioned.

[@iliketocomment8144]

I think he's a little tall but still is cool.

[@Lunkyful]

Still waiting for a accurate comic book lookalike.

[@Josuek]

Nice review :)

[@jakethecollector1516]

Intro playing as I type. Ouu! alt to my legends preorder?

[@SKreshGames]

It really stress me that when you show the little parts or close ups, are out of focus, sorry but that sucks

[@dvgoat3718]

Any StreetHuman News ?

[@inhaledfarts4221]

Really appreciate you reviewing this figure. Always hard to tell what Diamond select figures actually are until they are in hand.

[@SuperGiacomo1]

Shartimus!! Did you preorder the Iron Man nano infinity gauntlet from hasbro?? Can you do a review on it when it comes out? I preordered mine and its taken forever! Edit-spelling

Thanks for the review. This is a hard pass.

No toy company should use that DCUC kind of articulation for the hips anymore men. Really looks ugly.
