In Mark Waid's
Fantastic Four run, there were repeated jokey references to Ben and Johnny using, and probably abusing, the time machine. Reed had put notes all over like "THIS IS NOT A TOY" and "REMEMBER THE ALAMO," as well as repeatedly asking them to leave poor Davy Crockett alone, for some reason. Whenever he wants to go off by himself, I'm positive Ben has routines set up with H.E.R.B.I.E., maybe dating back to his
Two-in-One days. Reed almost certainly could override those if he wanted, but doubtless at least tries to respect Ben's privacy. Also, I know Reed likes H.E.R.B.I.E. too much to
T-Bob him like the character from
M.A.S.K..
If you have too many toys or watch too much TV, you might recognize the recall devices: the bigger ones are
WildC.A.T.s communicators, and I've had to type a lot of acronyms today. The little white one is a
GDO from Stargate: SG-1. I had another device in mind for Ben's big-button remote; the big-antenna'd thing
Madame Masque was using here.
I would love to have a time sled vehicle, but it would be probably kind of big; since it needs like seven seats or spots. Hey, we don't have human-Ben Grimm or She-Thing/Sharon Ventura, either!

That’s probably a given HERBIE, that’s probably a given. And hey, would giving HERBIE the T-Bob treatment really be all that bad? I can definitely see young Franklin riding HERBIE around like that while the team fights Doom or invaders from the Negative Zone. Honestly, it’d be dumb if they already hadn’t.
You definitely raise a good question there; would Hasbro ever consider making a Sharon Ventura She-Thing figure? It’s not like they don’t already have a history of mining deep cuts for figures, so I say why not make a She-Thing figure? She could be either be a BAF, a stand alone figure or put her in a 2-pack with Pineapple Thing.
