RAH Ghost Rider Shipping!

[Natrix]

Got him and the Clone Trooper today. Now is this Ghost Rider from the movie or comic based? He's in scale with the comic book ones (as is the Jackman Wolverine), and his costume isn't exactly movie accurate (chaps). But there's a Columbia Pictures logo on the box. Too bad he's not movie scale - he'd fit better on the bike.

Movie based according to the info on the inner flap of the box, just have to read a little...

It was more an observation than a question - and I just compared him to Wolvie - and he's bigger. So this is the first movie figure that is comic scale. Geez, I wish Medi would make up their minds!

 

[Natrix]

Not sure what I am going to do with mine...I can't get past the scrawnyness of the shoulders and the way the jacket sinks into the shoulder joints (looks as bad as the Sideshow hip problem).

I've seen people putting on the massive muscle suit on the Figure. Maybe it's to beef up the figure. But from the pics posted by Edwint. They seem to look fine .

Here are a few crappy pictures to try to illustrate my point. I know he is a flaming skeleton but come on, he needs to have a little bulk...

This one is with the jacket off and the shoulders at their highest point. Look at the distance between the neck and the shoulders. The neck piece is too high compared to the shoulder joints and there is a huge gap between them just like the Sideshow bodies hips. I think the figure would improve a ton with a smaller neck post or flaming neck piece.



Then you put the jacket back on and notice how the shoulder spikes are sloped downward and it looks like he is slouching his shoulders. It doesn't help that the jacket is a little small and the spikes ride towards the back. You can mask this a little with some of the poses I have seen.



Now compare that to the movie maquette...broader shoulders, smaller waist. Even in the movie he was well filled out.

 

[Scarlet]

Ahhh I see. Then the only advice I can give is padding. Inside the jacket or on the shoulders of the figure.

I agree this is not the best job Medicom has done. Medi GR does need some modifications. He looks cool as it is, but far from perfect.

I am pretty happy with him. The package seems movie based while the figure is more of a hybrid. Fits me fine as I was not wild about the movie. I do think he is a bit thin though, needs some beefing up

when in doubt, there's always tissue and cotten lying around the house..

Is that what you did...I also see a black t-shirt under there??

yup..i literally stuff some tissue and cotten under the black t-shirt..'raised' the shoulders up abit to the neck level in the same way also...i do think it helps a little after futzing with him..but i think it coulda been better..will go hm and try again..maybe with faux leather..eh, 'scarlet'????

what's the "massive muscle suit"?? sounds kinda like Hot toys muscle leg sheath. does Medi make something like that? i've seen the nude Massive bods and didn't really see any kind of "suit".

 

[Scarlet]

No. The muscle suit is just a piece of moulded plastic that's place over the torso of the RAH body to make it beefier.

It's the neutral colored torso on Ghost Rider, so that means it comes with GR.

It's not like the HT muscle suit for exposed parts.

Anyways, Edwin, great idea on using a black T-shirt on Ghost Rider

[Batman5]

See I am trying to hold off on this figure but I know eventually I will cave and get it. The funny thing is - I haven't seen the movie or read a GR comic in my life. He just looks cool:chew
