Equinox

Back in the 60's, future ILM staffer and multi-Oscar© winner Dennis Muren made a stop-motion creature film starring Frank Bonner (later to be known as WKRP's Herb Tarlek). The film was finished a few years later by another producer and titled Equinox. Still later, the film became an inspiration for a certain "grueling" horror film.*

*Do you know which film it is? Well, Paul Rogus aka mr Articulate did, and he's the recipient of the first ever Mighty Marvel No-Prize!

For the record: the torso, arms and head are a FF Johnny Storm. Johnny's head was smoothed and the mask added with cut plastic. The flame lines were etched with a dremel. The legs are Iceman's, and the added flames were cut from a Ghost Rider. Once again, I broke from the usual style and opted for a drybrushed paint job. He looks downright flame-broiled!
