Sure, but then it would cost probably closer to $1500 with a huge box and a higher shipping cost.
Overall it's not a bad piece, it may not be what people want, or more specifically want to pay.
The vitriol and speculation on the other forum is funny to watch / read...

you say that as if people wouldn't spend more if it was proper 1/4 scale and a full bike.
There hasn’t been a full bike since the first Bowen Ghost Rider statue

what?

I'm not saying they wouldn't, including myself.
The PCS 1/6 full bike dio is $880, before taxes and freight.
So this at the asking price is not all that uncalled for, at least to me...
But this "is what it is", and after owning the XM version I'm ok with only half a bike.
I like the "vintage" chopper over the XM "custom" chopper. There are small details on the SSC version that are not present on the XM, like the charred leather which I like as the leather on the XM version is clean and as smooth as a baby's bottom, lacking that gritty element that I see more on the SSC version.

Apparently, it lights up. Not gonna lie, looks sick now.

Let's see how people react... looks even better now.

It does look so much better now. Glad they included it for those that ordered one.
Funny how some ppl think that Sideshow is just showing this off as a sort of one off piece, but not including it on production pieces based on comments I’ve read. Though, Sideshow could’ve explicitly put it in their caption that this is the new prototype showing off a light-up feature that will be included with all orders

750 ed size, for the size and cost that seems about right I guess...
Shipping in June?

No amount of light ups is going to fix an iffy sculpt

A whole new batch of images up on the product page and look great, I would guess this will be shipping sooner than later.

Lots of parts but still less than the XM.
Probably will get this and Hulk days apart from each other.
Looks really good in that video! If I was a bigger Ghost Rider fan this would’ve been a definite purchase

Charging next week, this one took a full year from PO# to "ship date".

How soon does BBTS get their stock after Sideshow?

Now sure how that works, you could ask SSC direct and they should be able to give you an answer.

This ones a bit difficult to photograph well, especially with the fading light and with a phone camera.
Lots of pieces but still less than the XM, with the box being 1/2 to 1/3 less in size and half the weight.
The head, flames on the bike, engine, chain and headlight are distinctly different colors, hard to tell in the photos.
Is is perfect, I don't know but I like G.R. enough to buy in 1/4 scale twice, and the light-up on this is unreal and pretty bright.
I definitely like the old school chopper on this one a lot more, chain connection is easier (at least for me) on this one over the XM version.
The handle bars are delicate, the left side broke (not sure if it was cracked already) as I was unpacking, so be careful.
I'll repair with a 2-part epoxy that will hold it like it was cemented and it's doesn't light up so not to much to worry about.
Time for Halloween.
