Marvel Legends GHOST RIDER Action Figure Review

[@black_racerzedd8949]

Danny tends to close his jacket, wear ones with those shoulder pipings, can be in a trench coat and always have spikes. Johnny tends to have open short jackets and can be drawn without spikes.

[@jonesdovick6954]

Danny uses a cool 80s-90s biker outfit while johnny uses leather stuntman clothes with a white outline in the torso, and also johnny generally doesn't have any spikes in his outfit

[@brunocolin960]

Hi Anthony, Johnny uses a stunt performer outfit, similar to Evel Knievel but all black. Danny uses a biker outfit with the spikes and all. Problem is, after the Ghost Rider movie they started drawing Johnny just like they did Danny, making it absolutely confusing. I guess the only true difference now is Danny's bike always having that particular design.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

It seems overpriced given that Toy Biz managed to give us a Ghost Rider figure with the bike included in that package for regular price. But then again Toy Biz went bust owing a fortune in tooling and manufacturing costs so maybe its good that people don't try to pack in that kind of value any more.

[@suhtangwong]

Ironically Toybiz (toy business) was for the customers, so much so that they went in debt. Hasbro (and all other toy companies) are for business, profit over customers. We need toybiz back 😢

[@braydenpage1808]

​@@suhtangwongyes, but going into dept is a bad thing for any company to do. And making profits off a product is literally never a bad thing and arguing that Toybiz went out of business but spending too much that they couldn't pay is a good thing is crazy in my opinion. Hasbro may not do things like Toybiz but they know they have to make profits because that's a company's first priority. And it honestly should've been Toybiz's too.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

@@braydenpage1808 Yes, it's great to be pro-consumer, we all like to see it, but maybe not to the extent that you bankrupt yourself.

[@braydenpage1808]

@@craigcharlesworth1538 I agree. Being pro consumer is a good thing but not that the expense of profit. A company has to make money to continue running. Hasbro definitely isn't as pro consumer as Toybiz was but at least that keeps them going.

[@leyenda6149]

0:54 C'mon, if folks can't giggle at that y'all are much classier than I am.

[@Southtown_Paint_Appz]

I believe the outcry about the size is because they compared this one to the first ghost rider on that starlord buck/AIM soldier which is pretty tall

[@aw000091]

It's harder to tell the difference now, they basically gave Danny's look to Johnny in recent comic lines.

[@mercentin1499]

So how i can tell between johnny and danny ghost rider is danny wears grey pants from the classic comics while johnny in classic wears all darkish shaded blue biker outfit

[@TheDalinkwent]

Danny actually introduced the whole chain situation, but it became so popular, artist started finding excuses for Johnny to use them as well and most casual fans of the character can't tell Danny from Johnny anyway once transformed.

[@aleman1788]

Even if he were short, no one is gonna be posing him without his bike because he's a rider of a motorcycle, one that he comes with.

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Been waiting for Danny with his bike for a LONG time. Mine is on preorder at bbts, can't wait to complete my hearts of darkness team!!!

[@JayWoods483]

Great video Anthony, thanks for review. From what I have been able to gather is that Johnny Blaze wore a jumpsuit meanwhile Danny Ketch wore a leather jacket and spikes. Being a fan of both characters helps with these sorts of things. However this product being a part of the 85th anniversary line, a little more effort on Hasbro's part was expected. Some paint wash would have gone a long way on the costume's spikes instead of that Coca Cola tin silver. The head is too white for my liking - it looks bleached. Thanks for the review.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

Nah he ain't that small. He's still noticeably taller than the AF Spiderman body. My best guess is when Danny transforms into Ghost Rider, the flames are counted towards his height because in comics I don't really see a height difference other than the flames making him look taller. So hes fine as average height. Also Danny wears the spiked jacket and grey jeans. Johnny is supposed to have a more stunt uniform that's all black. But after the movie, artists stopped doing their research and gave Johnny Danny's outfit from then on.

[@christopherkinsella3912]

Ghost rider is a taller character. Danny as the Rider and Cap are Both 6’2

[@cardsfanboy]

I love the fact that you are questioning the community... I'm with you on this, I don't see a problem with his size. I also like that as one of the more critical reviewers out there, you didn't fall into the backlash hysteria and automatically badmouth it (not that I think you would, your track record indicates impartiality) I do think the bike is a bit short, but I think that is partially an illusion of design, the sleeker styling makes it look shorter than it really is.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Very solid release.

[@maybetoby]

Danny Ketch is my favorite Ghost Rider, since he was the current Rider when i got into comics in the 90s. And he has the coolest looking bike in my opinion. Haven't got this yet coz of the price, so I'm happy you did this review. 5:46 that's the Medallion of Power being used as a gas cap. Danny used to have to touch that to transform.

[@dylansandoval9841]

I think people are comparing him to the Johnny Blaze figure. I put them side by side and the Blaze figure now looks outdated and too tall/lanky. I still love that figure cause its ghost rider but it does look strange now. This new Ghost rider is my favorite figure from the line in a long time.

[@brian_merchant]

This Ghost Rider figure is the correct height. People are comparing it to the previous Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider figure, which is taller. The Hasbro team said the previous releases were probably too tall because they used the comic Starlord/AIM Soldier body.

[@SymbiSpidey]

I actually think the height on this figure is fine. It's just that Johnny Blaze was too tall.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's what it seems

[@esa5952]

It’s very toyetic. Gives me ghost rider #1 cover vibes. Thanks for the review and especially for focussing so much on the bike.

[@sonix3m]

I waited for your review with this figure and finally it's here. I thinking buying this figure since it's release, been watching other toy review channel for this figure but still decided not to get one until I watch your own review very straight forward and honest toy reviewer all the pros and cons is answered. Now Im excited to buy this Ghost Rider figure and thank you for making a review of this product. I'm a fan of your channel since 2014, better late than never indeed..

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thanks for the support. happy to help

[@edeff1119]

RE Jonny Blaze look. Yes, different costumes. Blue stipe flap to his leather jacket front. And Dan Ketch is a black leather coat w chain link around the chest. Read the Mark Tex run. Both characters appear in the same scenes...

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

This was the Ghost Rider version I wanted so I'm glad to own it, even though I still don't. Thanks for the review Anthony.

[@funny3272]

I got lucky and got the original Johnny Blaze motorcycle at a junk store for $20.00. Fits perfectly still with the new Marvel Legends characters. And able to pose it with a wheely. The paint was still in excellent condition, too.

[@daniel79tj]

Danny is 90s, so he has spikes and his jacket his black with a more biker/punk cut, Jonny is 70s, so he has a more Evan Knivel jacket with blue countour and no spikes. Mind you after they returned Blaze in the 2000s artist just made his costume like Dany lol.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

thats what was confusing me. thanks

[@flute2010]

Only complaint is the lack of yellow in the headlights, love him other than that

[@Shadi092986]

Use bright yellow cardstock and the clear plastic from the Legends packaging. Glue them on the back of the bike’s “eyes” and voila!

[@flute2010]

@@Shadi092986 Saw an instagram reel of someone doing this too, gonna do it for sure :)

[@Nemesis_Prime666]

Any ghost rider figures are cool

[@JoeyBcollects]

Dan Ketch as ghost rider should be the same height as a captain America figure, not the same height as a character that uses a spider man body

[@shinasura777]

Grabbed this one mostly for the bike. The new hellverine figure tahts coming out will look great on it

[@toddholland7511]

Danny had the spikes and chain,and used the Penance Stare. Johnny Blaze wore the stunt riders outfit,and used Hellfire as his weapon. Blaze rode a bike composed completely of Hellfire,and had no penance stare.

[@ericfullon4500]

6'2" is 74 inches divided by 12 (1/12 scale) is 6.166 inches....you said it's 6.5 inches....so it's bigger than the proper scale

[@AnthonysCustoms]

All marvel legends are oversized. There are true 1/12 scale

[@ericfullon4500]

Yes those people who are angry about its size, doesn't know math 😂...

[@hasbrosucks6033]

Speedo? LOL, I think you meant speedometer. Overall, definitely a buy. The "eyes" slit on the bike should be filled in!!! Stupid Hasbro.

[@wewillalleatglass]

QOTD: Danny is almost always in this outfit while Johnny goes between a more stunt rider, think Evel Knievel, or standard open leather jacket leather pants usually w/out spikes except in volume 6 where he got shoulder spikes. The biggest thing for me is that Danny should be hench, he's almost always drawn with a huge upper body and I think that's why this figure feels small to most people.

[@Rebelxstudios]

Yeah I didn't consider him that short period because to me whenever I saw him drawn he was always around the size of characters like Daredevil and Spider-Man, not large and hulking like Thor or captain america.

[@alejandrocaracciolo5975]

The original 1970s version of Johnny Blaze, did not wear leather. He wore a sort of blue jumpsuit which was reminiscent of what stuntmen like Evel Knievel used to wear at the time. In fact, he was modeled after that. Danny Ketch has more of a heavy metal influence in his looks, he takes more after all those 90s band that wore leather and had all that skulls and chains in their iconography. Think Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, rather than Evel Knievel. The confusion comes from the movies. In them, Nick Cage was supposed to be playing Johnny Blaze, but he wore Danny Ketch's costume.

[@Day9294_]

I remember having the old toybiz ghost rider and on the back there was a summary that said it was johnny blaze, but he has this costume on. I always thought this was johnny blaze.

[@kenzakiart]

Johnny tends to have the white crest on his torso if I'm remembering it correctly and danny has that shoulder piping/padding and grey pants.

[@waymundbean]

i’ve seen a pretty cool mod for this figure. apparently you can steal some biker boots off of a G.I Joe figure (not sure which one exactly) and it actually makes him the perfect height IMO

[@j0hn117uch1ha]

I got it and I do like it. Of course I have to put some paint apps to the bike but tbh I feel it was rather pricey at 50 bucks when I can see this being 40 at most.

[@FREKKI]

Why is this $50 and Lockjaw is $70. I can usually wrap my head around the stupid things that Hasbro does but the price on that is unreal. Gives me flashbacks to the EoV.

[@jand8303]

It's Bidenomics

The bike is the best part of this package so i just bought it and gave it to my retro ghost rider and saved a few coins 😏

[@moondark1031]

Danny Ketch was mostly Drawn by Mark Texeira. (In a VERY distinct and cool style) His Jacket and upper body were WAYYY larger and buffer than this figure, and as you said, the head is too large in comparison to the body. He looked way more menacing and powerful than this figure. I also think the shoulders on this figure are way to small as usual for legends. When other artists drew him, he was almost as large and buff as well. Art Adams, et all. Johnny Blaze mostly had a form fitting leather outfit and was smaller. His head was larger in proportion to the body than Danny. I also think the shoulders on this figure are way to small as usual for legends.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

I’ve always liked how Danny Ketch has been drawn. And this, is not accurate. He looks very shrimpy and small when in the comics he’s a big guy relatively speaking. This figure doesn’t look heroic enough or anything really.

[@Maverick5uk]

I've not heard Hasbro say he's too small but I heard them say Johnny Blaze was too tall. I think people are comparing the 2 figures and think Danny is too small in comparison but it's the other way around.

[@mr.highground4304]

I only paid 27$ at my pawn shop it was used but it looked brand new

[@macmacbsu6144]

Wish they gave us a new skull but other than that this is probably my favorite Ghost Rider

[@rabidhammer31]

Looks pretty great to me but he needed a new whip weapon for sure, or 2 different kinds even. So much shit coming in and out right now, this things been put on the back burner, if he gets cheaper then hey, I'm glad I had to wait.

[@caincha]

I'm still on the fence about this one... I won't come cheap where I live and I already made a custom figure I'm very happy with so it comes down to the bike and it does look cool but not THAT much better than the old one. I mean yeah it has spinning wheels (which won't ever be used) and very cool flame effects but it looks way too cheap in the way that it was made... plus I do have 2 of the original ones and one Baroness COIL bike that could be used for a custom... I dunno... Also: 'let me show you my package which is bigger than usual but not overly impressive' That's what she said 😂😂

[@pay7232]

Spikes man, all about the spikes

[@petershegryn6771]

generally johnny blaze has a big square outline on a blue jacket with no spikes and ketch has just a jacket w spikes and wrist spikes too I thought he was average height too

[@bestial.tattoo]

I think it's not a problem of height but of proportions, actually I was hoping you would do a photoshopped image

[@startrackertrax6493]

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Maybe it's the bike that is undersized? *edit If only I had watched a bit further before commenting...

[@cptwigglefuffle]

I've been wanting a ghost rider figure for the longest time but all the marvel legends for him have looked to blend to me What options do I have? Do i nust settle the mezco with the limited articulation, cloth goods and lack of real head/neck movement Or is Marvel legends the only practical option lmao If mafex or revoltech made a ghost rider tho I'd totally buy it

[@limpx336]

People are crying about the height compared to another ghost rider figure. It's dumb. If you got this it will be on the bike anyways...

[@keng.2468]

It's the gas cap that he touches to transform into GR.

[@allsome1o1]

Danny’s bike is much different from Johnny’s. Also Danny had blue flames at one point

[@asgads]

pretty good, for legends that´s an easy 8

[@ProfessorHurt]

Hey Anthony any chance you can review the Gold Label Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) from McFarlane? I know it's been a few months (and its a reused body save for the head and cape), but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it being one of the first wired cape figures from the company for the $22.99 price point (that and first appearance Batman).

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Unless they releases more than one Cassandra figure, i have it and I'll review it

[@Itscoldindisbih]

The bike is the easiest way to tell the difference

[@imnotsickler]

I'm curious if I can fudge him into a Mafex display, I have no interest in the bike

[@brandofigure]

I just don’t like the figure overall. Shoulder width seems to be a bit small, like he has no V-Taper, and his head being too big doesn’t help. Two main reasons why I passed. Also don’t like the sculpt of a fire on the head. McFarlane did way better looking flaming skulls in his DC Multiverse line. Still, it’s a decent looking set, tho.

[@MrRandygtgod]

Did you know Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch are Blood Brothers.

[@graefx]

Its the comparison to other figures. Scale is all over the place. The last Ghost Rider is way oversized, like 7 inches, so this looks stumpy. But then up against normal figures it looks fine, but then against the latest Captain Americas this looks shorter than it should be. Its Hasbros inconsistent scaling and buck reuse thats shooting themselves in the foot.
