Here is your resource for Firestorm action (and inaction) figures! Several Match-heads have requested a guide to the Nuclear Man in molded plastic, so I’m happy to oblige. Below you’ll find every Firestorm action figure produced to date. You can use the group photo at the top to provide a sense of scale for subsequent pictures. Also, I’ve provided links to more information when available. There will be a follow-up post soon featuring Firestorm’s supporting cast and foes.
Here is a snapshot of my own personal collection! Click to enlarge.
The very first Firestorm action figure is still the most beloved by many fans…
Super Powers Collection Firestorm (1985)
Next, the miniature DC Direct Pocket Super Heroes Firestorm action figure (Sept. 2002)
Instead of fire-hair, I’m pretty sure that’s just Aquaman’s hair repainted.
Then, the first “inaction” figure, part of DC HeroClix Cosmic Justice – Firestorm (Mar. 2003)
Cool pose, but the paint jobs can REALLY vary.
Next, my personal favorite Nuclear Man action figure, DC Direct JLA Series 2 (Dec. 2004)
Ironically, when this figure was released, Firestorm was already sporting a new look with
Jason Rusch as the new Firestorm, and thus this figure’s design was out-dated at release.
Then, Jason’s first action figure, DC Direct’s Infinite Crisis
Firestorm with flaming stand (May 2007)
Next, Jason’s entry in DC HeroClix Justice League – Firestorm (Sept. 2007)
Then, a pair of figures in Mattel’s DC Universe Classics line,
Firestorm (Jason) and variant (Ronnie) (Nov. 2008)
Next, Jason got animated with Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Rocket Blast with Firestorm action figure (Nov. 2009)
Then, Ronnie got small with DC Universe Infinite Heroes Firestorm action figure (Jan. 2010)
Next, Ronnie got funky & chunky in this Blammoid Firestorm (Jan. 2010)
Then, Eaglemoss produced this lead mini-figurine as part of the
DC Comics Superhero Collection Figurine Magazine #46 featuring Firestorm (Mar. 2010)
Next, the first piece featuring Ronnie & Jason together was
DC Brightest Day HeroClix Action Pack with Firestorm (Oct. 2010)
Then, these adorable DC Universe Action League figures – Deathstorm vs Firestorm (Dec. 2010)
Next, Ronnie got animated in the Mattel Convention Exclusive
Justice League Unlimited 3-Pack: Angle Man, Firestorm & Killer Frost (Apr. 2011)
Yes, that’s right.. with Angle Man?!? Click to enlarge.
Then, the most unexpected Firestorm toy (and most unrecognizable) came in
McDonalds Happy Meal – Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Apr. 2011)
Next, one of my favorite Nuclear Man action figures, DC Direct’s Brightest Day Firestorm
(July 2011). Ironically (for a second time), when this figure was released, the New 52
costume redesign for Firestorm had already been promoted. That’s twice a new figure
was released just after a new look was revealed, thus making the figure’s design out-dated.
Then, the first New 52 Firestorm merchandise produced included DC Heroclix:
The New 52 Justice League with Ronnie, Jason & Fury (Aug. 2012). Ironically (third time’s
the charm), when these HeroClix were released, the New 52 “Ronnie & Jason merged”
costume redesign for Firestorm had already been promoted. That’s three times a new figure
was released just after a new look was revealed, thus making the figure’s design out-dated.
Next, Eaglemoss produced another Firestorm mini-figurine as part of DC Superhero Chess
Figure Collector Magazine, issue #53 Firestorm White Pawn (Mar. 2014). Ironically
(a fourth time, seriously), when this figurine was released, The New 52: Futures End
costume redesign for Firestorm had already been promoted. This makes four times
a new figure was released just after a new look was revealed, thus making the
figure’s design out-dated.
Finally, later this year the Mattel’s Matty Collector Club will release a Firestorm
figure as part of their Total Heroes line! It looks so cool and comes
with a floating Professor Stein head accessory!! Click to enlarge.
And just for fun, here is a Firestorm Cubee! A Fan-created do-it-yourself
figure made entirely from folded paper!
Thanks for checking out this Firestorm action figure index! I’ll update it from time to time as more Firestorm toys become available. Reminder, there will be a follow-up post soon featuring Firestorm’s supporting cast and foes. So check back!
Support Firestorm! Fan the flame!
Awesome Post Dude! Great Action Figure Guide! I can’t wait for the Total Heroes Firestorm figure!
Not that it matters that much, but the JLU figure is also out there in a solo pack (that’s the version I’ve got). Granted, it would be better to have with Killer Frost, though of course it should have been Slipknot instead of Angle Man.
SDF-7 Thanks for that info! I thought it was available solo as well, but didn’t find that noted anywhere. Thanks!
Great pictorial review there Shag. Just goes to show modern DC changes every time you turn around. I think the DCD JLA Series 2 figure is exempt from this, though, since all of that line was “CAL-ASSIC” Bronze Age JLA versions, so Ronnie just makes sense there.
I’m still a sucker for the SP figure, but that DCD one is nice, as is the DCUC figure.
Thanks for sharing!
Chris
OK, this is a Great reference to the one’s I have & the one’s I need!
Where can I get the HeroClix at? Ideas, Links, pricing?
Hi Ken – I’d suggest eBay (as SDF-7) indicated and Amazon. Both are good resources. Not sure on fair pricing. Good luck!
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xfirestorm+heroclix&_nkw=firestorm+heroclix&_sacat=0&_from=R40
seems to have promising results.
great collection.
i still need to get a few of these myself.
even though i’m not a jason fan. i still need the jason ones, just to complete the set.
Great article! I’ve also been working on completing my action figure collection lately. In fact I just purchased the solo animation figure on ebay. It comes with a stand and an atomic blast accessory which the 3-pack doesn’t have. Here’s a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JUSTICE-LEAGUE-UNLIMITED-FIRESTORM-Figure-New-Mint-JLU-Mattel-/251527352541
Getting that Eaglemoss piece without paying an arm and a leg for it (especially considering shipping) has been harder than I expected.
Sweet! I do have all the heroclix. And the infinite crisis as well as the 1st toy (though need to find it). I almost got the chess piece the other day but had problems doing so and now I’m STILL hunting for it. But I did get the eaglemoss piece no problem, I now feel a bit proud. 😀
