XM Studios 1/4 Ghost Rider

Not sure I like the idea of shipping the fire pieces like that without putting any foam inserts between the tips of the flames. The tips could snap.

The picture was just for the book. The shipping pieces are like all other XM statues.

Geez, what a mess! I bet the flames were rigid too!
I'm not sure about this XM piece, but if the flames are of the flexible type of material, that should help minimize breakage.


Yeah, looking forward to it too.

Hopefully, you're right. I don't wish broken flames on anyone.

XM pieces are all wrapped and covered in plastic, they just put them in the box like this for the pictures.... And I do believe they throw the box down a flight of steps to make sure nothing will break... It's fairly rare if something breaks using XM boxes...

But do you think plastic will be enough of a cushion with the foam? I guess they're not much more you can do though.

They might have foam in between the ridges... I really won't know until I get mine... I have a feeling the flames are made with soft resin to give them a bit of flex... but it's just speculation at this point...

Ya I thought I remember an XM rep saying the flames on the base were made of a soft resin or pvc type material.

Did they ever comment on why they didn't go for a more clearer resin flame look?

I think they mentioned bc it's too heavy and won't hold the statue or something

Interesting....and surprising. I would have thought it would have been just as light weight.

With their Thor statue, they said the clear resin for the spinning Mjolnir was cracking. I guess they haven't perfected using this material yet.

Ya, the bike is too heavy for the back wheel to be clear. The engine and tailpipes are actual metal. Clear resin isnt as strong and cant support this beast.

GB, so the pics you were posting just a few pages back are NOT production pieces? Those were protos?

 

[Grumpy Bear]

The pictures from the book are a production piece, too. Everything before was from events.

Thanks for clarifying.

I mean the pictures from the book itself is a production piece, don´t know if the Ghost Rider in the book are used from a proto or production piece.

Before any misunderstanding.

Good to know. That makes sense. It sucks...but I understand.

Man, that production pic....WOW!!
