Marvel Legends Series Retro 375 Collection Ghost Rider 3.75-Inch Collectible Action Figures, Toys for Ages 4 and Up, Includes Vehicle

Product in perfect condition

The fact that he comes with a whole motorcycle makes him my favorite. It has a kickstand and detailed tread on the tires. I was reading through the old issues when I picked this up. It looks exactly like the comics. The bike is perfect, they picked the best version as the bike changes a few times. Mine came with two left hands but he can still grip the throttle.

Bike hearkens back to the grocery store toy racks by the registers, love some of the little touches like the gas cap. Box seemed overly large for what you got inside. Just a great 3.75 scale ghost rider and bike, goes well with the rest in this line. Articulated at wrists, shoulders, neck and legs. Great translucent plastic on tires and skull's flames.

To start this off, Hasbro announces that they are putting a “pause” on this figure line for the foreseeable future, with the possibility of revisiting it at some point (I mean a Power Man figure with no Iron Fist? Be real…). Big disappointment, but what a way to go out, at least at first glance. To begin with I first started seeing the price for this as a pre-order on Amazon at $25. I held off... I then actually found this “in the wild” at Target for $33. I held off… It was difficult, but I held off… I didn’t really have the disposable income to buy this yet and I was hoping the pre-order price would still be $25 by the time it became available. Fat chance of that. This figure/vehicle combo’s pre-order price kept jumping up, eventually exceeding what I would have paid at Target. I was getting pretty disgusted because in my area, Ghost Rider was no longer anywhere to be found, so I felt like I should have jumped on it when I had the chance. A few more weeks go by and this figure was suddenly no longer a pre-order and was actually available in stock! This was a little more than a week before it was supposed to be released on Amazon on June 1st. The price, to my surprise, actually came down, not to the $25 it started out as, but it did come down where I couldn’t wait to order it any longer.So I ordered it, it arrived, and now the review of what I purchased…First off, the presentation for this is excellent! Even though we can no longer see the actual product due to the discontinuing of clear plastic, the product images and the classic artwork on this box is first rate. To be honest, when I watched a few unboxing videos of this I was in full agreement with the enthusiasm that was being conveyed. After opening it myself, while I did enjoy this as a whole, and the Ghost Rider figure was great looking with his classic 70’s/80s look and coloring, after seeing the motorcycle, while impressed, it wasn’t to that great of a degree. If anyone reading this had ever owned the Evel Knievel stunt cycle back in the late 70s, Ghost Rider’s bike reminds me of that in concept. That’s where the comparison ends because that classic motorcycle was really nice. This bike, while fairly faithful to the classic comic book design looks like an inexpensively made piece of red plastic with wheels. It has the look and feel of something created on someone’s home 3D printer and assembled. There is just something not very professional looking about it. There is not a lot more that can be said about it, and I’m not going to go on some flowery smoke-blowing diatribe like most of the unboxing videos about this that I’ve seen. Go on everyone’s favorite social media video platform and watch these videos. Pay attention to how the people talking this product up begin to stall, stutter, and stumble when they get to the motorcycle. Folks, this whole product looks to be designed to be played with by 4 to 8 year olds, yet being priced for the adult collector. It’s a strange combination. I actually LIKE the motorcycle, all except the ridiculous flaming skull stickers that were never on the bike in the comics, but I can still overlook that. If the buyer is spending upwards of $30 just to hand this over to his/her young children to be harshly played with (like WE used to, but the products were less expensive), then I applaud the fact that the buyer is in such a wonderful financial position where disposable income can just be flushed away once products like this get damaged or ruined. How lucky those children must be.I know that when it has come to this retro line that I have been blown away each and every time, even though for the most part, the bodies are all the same with different head sculpts and paint. I suppose that because of the box art, and this being the end (at least for now) of this line that I was expecting more “bang for my buck”, so-to-speak. Maybe I should look at it like this… If the figures were simplistic in design, then why should the only vehicle be any different? $20 to $25 I could see… I could rationalize, but anything above that? Well, it’s the buyer’s money, and the resellers and scalpers who are jacking the price up on this to unreasonable amounts are just waiting to take it. I will still enjoy this being in my collection regardless.The product itself… including the packaging presentation, the Ghost Rider figure himself, and the even the motorcycle… I will give all of that 5 Stars! The price fluctuation before it was ever released on Amazon, and the ultimate end price when it finally WAS in stock cost it a star resulting in a total review of 4 stars!

Such an amazing figure but it don’t matter because marvel - Hasbro said there will not be a wave after this one (wave 8)! Very different then the other 3.75 figures but very much of the same!

Item is as promised. My issue is more with the amount of toy you get for the money. This is a very small item, and that's okay, but the cost should be closer to being $15-$20 max. This is HASBRO, not a start-up toy company. Also, the figure and motorcycle only took up about 30% of the box. I appreciate the package being plastic-free, but that's a lot of needless cardboard. Fun toy mostly because it reminds me of a cheap bodega toy I had as a kid.

The action figure is smaller than the other figures that usually cost $12. So I paid $18 for a piece of crap plastic motorcycle.It’s fun looking for $20. Not $30.

So small . At first I thought they gag gifted me . Thought box was empty . Till I ripped entire box apart and found it.. cheapo toy
