    GR is pretty nicely done. Not so much into the other sculpts, with the exception of Iron Man.

    Saw the proto at Comic Con last year. GR sculpt is awesome and pretty large. I dig the clear flames.

    This is rad. They have been knocking these Marvel sculpts out of the park, but the GR really is a work or art. The flames are excellent.

    being a pretty heavy comic fan i can see why this would be a hard thing to resist. And I hate Marvel (they are like the KR of the comic industry, in my opinion), but I cannot begin to refute the awesomeness of Ghost Rider (aside from that shatty movie!)!!! This piece is nicely done, has that exagerated edge to it. Thanks alot! Now I want it! :?

    Yeah! I got to hold one in my paws when i stopped by my comicbook shop today. My dealer offered me 30% off which is a great deal. Think I'll just go back and get it.

    I'm really feeling the sculpt on this one and the Iron Man...my only beef is that they really ARE statues (which I'm NOT into at all). Zero articulation.

    I wish they were done like those Medicom VCD figures...a little cheaper, durable vinyl, couple points of articulation...a real toy.

    Wouldn't matter how much I loved the toy, I couldn't own GR because it would be a constant reminder of the depressing fact that that movie exists. Truly, I think it belongs high (low?) on the list of worst movies ever made. Take one strong image, repeat every 90 seconds, insert 90 minutes of pure dreck in between.

    I think these look HORRIBLE! Ironman is the only one I would buy but theyre statues, not vinyl. The wolverine and Capt america ones look particularly stupid.Sorry if I sound hateful but Im a long time Comic nerd, and I think these look like they were phoned in.

    I agree, and when did GR get spikes and chains?

    In the 90's he got spikes, but each artist puts their own twist on GR since he's not a A character.
