Elemental Firestorm Promotional Efforts – 1989
When introducing the “Elemental Firestorm” in 1989, DC Comics made special promotional efforts to get the word out about this dramatic change. The Elemental Firestorm was a fascinating character and a tremendous departure from what had come before. Two years prior writer John Ostrander had changed Firestorm from the classic Ronnie Raymond/Professor Stein combination to […]
Firestorm DC Universe Infinite Heroes Action Figure – 2010
Here is the recently-released Firestorm action figure from the DC Universe Infinite Heroes line (#58 in the series). This is the Ronnie Raymond/Professor Martin Stein Firestorm. Like the other Infinite Heroes figures, Firestorm has been done in the 3-3/4″ scale, so he’s considerably smaller than his DC Direct and DC Universe Classics counterparts. It’s […]

Atoman, the original Nuclear Man?

This figure is only 3.75″ including flaming hair, 2.5″ without. It’s an adorable figure […]
