Today we’re featuring a Firestorm custom-made action figure produced by fellow match-head John Gulick.

Check out the Firestorm-mobile!
Okay… Firestorm didn’t really get a suped-up hot rod (but that would be cool). Instead today we’ll be looking at the Hot Wheels 2011 Firestorm, part of the Thrill Racers Volcano series.

Great Scott! McDonalds Happy Meals will soon feature a Firestorm toy! Seriously! Y’all know I really dig Firestorm. I do my best to be a cheerleader for our favorite Nuclear Man.

Never-Produced Kenner Firestorm Action Figures – 1985
