Hey gang, it's Dave from amptcomics.com and behind the camera is Lisa
0:13
And it's Valentine's Day so what better to spend your time to open and unbox a new toy
0:18
that just came in the mail today. This is hot people, this is hot. I mean you gotta do it when it comes
0:23
This is the Ghost Rider Riders collection. There's another figure with this, there's two figures coming out now
0:31
The other is for Black Widow. She comes with a standard motorcycle. But this I think is a character that deserves a very nice motorcycle toy to go with him
0:41
It is not really yet in stores but you can preorder it if you look for it on eBay and
0:45
what not and get lucky. I think the RSVP, RSVP, I think the price is somewhere around $50, $60
0:53
We paid $70. MSRP? MSRP, that's the one. But I think when the prices start to go down and you see these in stores it's probably
1:01
around $50. So it's a little bit higher priced item especially since Marvel Legends figures like this one
1:06
are only $20 brand new. But you are getting this pretty sick bike so I guess this is worth $30
1:12
Anywho, let's look at the box. This is the Ghost Rider logo with some flames on it
1:18
Marvel Legends series. On the sides we have some art from the comics
1:23
Exact same art from the comics. On the back with all Marvel Legends you get the cool photograph with obvious photoshopping
1:31
to get the lighting perfect. But it's pretty sick and then you got three close up shots of the motorcycle
1:37
Yeah, the motorcycle seems pretty intense. Yeah, because if you see here you can have two different fronts on your bike
1:44
One is like this evil spirit of vengeance and then this is just your standard motorcycle
1:49
This is what Johnny Blades drives and this is what Ghost Rider drives
1:53
Anywho, if you've been watching us you know that we've been reviewing other Ghost Rider
1:57
figures so the main reason I got this is because the collection is growing just like the rest
2:02
of our collection. As you can see the collection has grown to capacity at this point
2:08
I think it's time for another cabinet. Possibly. Alright, not a lot in the box
2:15
It's only really what, one, two, three, four pieces. Although I think some of this stuff comes off
2:22
We got Ghost Rider, a chain that he can hold, and then the bike. There's some flame at the end there
2:28
And then the alternate front end of the bicycle with the handlebars
2:32
Let's start with this piece which is really in there. As you can see, got some cool semi-translucent fire
2:43
It's pretty hard. The chain moves but doesn't bend with it. Okay, so it's pretty much molded in that one position then. Right
2:52
Let's look at that chain for a minute. So not individual links, or is it
3:00
There's detail but yeah, I think it's just one solid line. Yeah
3:05
But from the sample it looks like it's multiple links. Cool. The flame is definitely cool
3:12
We got the handlebars here. This is supposed to be a mirror but I don't know if you can tell, it's just plastic
3:19
And then there's a, what do you call that? Is it a speedometer? Speedometer
3:27
I can't see it. I'll tell you, it's obviously just a sticker but there's some detail in there
3:31
It actually looks like a speedometer and it's going pretty fast, like 80 I think, maybe
3:35
88 miles per hour. Let's get a close up on that guy. Can you see it? Oh yeah, we can see it now. Yeah
3:40
Yeah, cool. There's nice detail on the grips. Yeah, looks pretty cool
3:46
The metal is pretty simple but what do you expect? Let's take that figure out
3:52
So this is the same mold as the Marvel Legends Ghost Rider that came out a year or two ago
3:58
The head is different and now he is with blue paint which kind of is cool because Johnny
4:04
Blaze was the stunt driver in some of the comics so he's got this stunt driver look
4:11
The blue is pretty nice. The paint job on mine here is pretty solid. There's no run off or anything
4:19
Nice light blue. He's got... His skull is cool, huh? Yeah, so he's got this flame neck
4:25
I'll take his head off. So that's pretty... Does he light up or something
4:30
No, it's just the translucent flame plastic which is pretty cool. If you look really closely, there's actually kind of a bit of a spine to the neck
4:41
Let's see, some vertebrae. Let's see. Huh. And then we'll take a closer look at the head here
4:49
The head's pretty sweet. The jaw is actually hinged which is pretty cool
4:53
Yeah, the... Is it red eyes? Red recessed eyes? Yes, there's like a red plastic in there
4:58
It's kind of hard to see in this light but I'm sure it'll be reflective in the right
5:01
light and the head is really cool. Yeah, that flame. Nice flame
5:06
Translucent flame is really cool. And the way it kind of licks the skull, it's almost like hair
5:11
And then there's a nice paint job on the skull itself. It's not just white, there's some dirt and grip to it as if it's been out and about
5:17
Like aged, yeah. And then the jaw moves quite a bit. It doesn't look like it'll come off or anything
5:24
And then there's some detail in the teeth too. It's probably really hard to see but the detail is really good
5:28
Looks like a skull. Looks like it should. I'm not going to get into detail with this figure because it's pretty much every Marvel
5:35
Legends figure. It has pretty good bendability. I mean, Ghost Rider just needs to ride, right
5:40
Let's just do a head to toe scan on this guy. That's the... He's in the current position he'll usually be in. Yeah
5:46
He's pretty cool though. Yeah. Boots, the belt. Yeah, he's got like a light blue belt. Yeah
5:55
It's kind of interesting. Is it like a utility belt? What's going on there? Some sort of bullets or grenades or..
6:01
What do we have here? So the backdrop of this whole thing is just the skull, which is kind of cool
6:09
It's like a skull logo. Oh, nice. Yeah. I don't know if anyone ever uses these things
6:16
Well, maybe for some pictures, you know. So here's the bike. This is why everyone's buying this
6:23
Don't get loud. They love that plastic, man. It's pretty easy, although this came off
6:35
So, there's some straps here. Oh, no, it's actually rubber bands. Holding things together
6:43
Let's flip this thing over so everyone can see it. That's holding the flames to the bike for presentation purposes
6:51
Pretty cool, right? Yeah, it's really cool. Oh, you probably want to just scissor these, but I'll have them handy
7:04
Just looking at this, like, it's big. Yeah, it is big. It really, it suits the character
7:09
It looks natural. Yeah. The flames are really cool. What's interesting is the tires are also clear, as if they're sort of hot or on fire
7:18
Yeah, they're starting to catch on fire, yeah. Nothing really moves on this besides the tires
7:26
Yeah, the detail in the engine's nice. It's cool how it wraps around
7:31
Dual carbs there. Again, there's, like, rubber bands holding this all together right now
7:35
Really? Oh, just to keep it from, keep the flame on? Is that what it is? I guess, but I think they're supposed to..
7:41
Oh, yeah. See, it's supposed to, it's actually a peg to go into the muffler
7:46
Gotcha, and then spin up. So, it can, like, hook in. But it's designed really well to, like, kind of go around the metal
7:54
It's really cool. Yeah. The motion of the fire is really well done
7:58
And there's an additional little flame here that has a, looks like a peg, but I don't know. I'm gonna take it off
8:02
It might break. I don't know. Put your handlebars on there. Alright, there were no instructions, folks
8:11
I'm assuming you just pop it on, right? Yeah, you just push it in here
8:15
There's, like, a little, like, plug and then a hole and then you..
8:21
I don't know. Okay, there we go. Now, will the bike stand on its own
8:29
I have a feeling probably not. Oh, there's a kickstand. There is, okay
8:33
There is a kickstand. There you go. Alright, so now, will it stand with the kickstand with the figure on it
8:41
There you go. There's your answer. Looking at the front here, this skull thing, there's a clear yellow for the eyes
8:55
And there's interesting detail here. I don't know what it, is that, like, a nose? It's a skull, I think
8:59
It's an elongated skull, right? But, like, I guess this is, like, the nose of the skull
9:03
Yeah, that's the nose and then the teeth. And then these are, like, almost like teeth. Yeah. Yep
9:07
Let's put this on here. So does that just snap on? Is that the deal? Yeah. Yeah
9:14
It's actually, it's actually really smooth. It just, this, like, circular part goes over the light
9:19
We didn't really look at the light, but it's interesting. This is just paint, orange paint, and then there's actually a translucent plastic, like, light
9:30
And I'll just add this to it. So, oh, look, we gotta get the chain in his hand
9:39
This is a pretty cool figure. I mean, this is Marvel Legends doing something brand new, and that's vehicles
9:45
They haven't really gotten into that realm, at least recently. And I think it's rather awesome
9:52
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I like it. I like that they kept true to the scale
9:57
The motion of the flames looks really cool, you know, with the flame being blown back
10:03
on the skull, on the rear tire, you know. I don't know where these flames go, but they probably go somewhere
10:10
The translucency really makes the color pop, especially, too, because he's wearing blue
10:15
so that contrast of warm and cold is nice. So if we grab two other Ghost Riders we have, there is a Lego Ghost Rider who also has translucent fire
10:27
And the Funko Ghost Rider, which is a bobblehead. Not translucent, but cool in its own way, especially with the flame licking
10:37
I don't know, if you were to look at all three, which one would you want to buy? Well, I mean..
10:41
This one's the most expensive. That's the most expensive. The Funko would be fun on your desk, for sure
10:45
Yeah, it's cute. I wouldn't want to bring anything too expensive into the office, just in case it disappeared
10:51
So this is the fourth Ghost Rider to the collection. Might be the last
10:55
I really like it. I think the bike's really cool. It's an interesting size, too, for display purposes
11:01
It's, like, not too big, but it's not too small, either. And talking about big and small, the Hot Toys Ghost Rider, which we also reviewed here at APT
11:14
definitely big. Yeah. What would his motorcycle be like? This? I know, right
11:19
It would have to be. It would fill the table. Again, really cool translucent fire
11:23
But I think this is a really nice collection. Yeah, it is a cool collection
11:28
There's three riders and one Ghost Driver. Yeah, it's rounded out, and it's complete now
11:36
So if you go to aptcomics.com, we're going to have a score for this
11:40
also pictures and additional details on what we think of the figure
11:44
Probably going to get a high score. But if you like this video, just hit subscribe to see more action figure goodness
