On Saturday, Hasbro revealed that a new Marvel Legends Ghost Rider figure will be getting the retro carded treatment.
The figure, which is based on the Johnny Blaze version of the character, will come with alternate hands, flame effects, a hellfire chain, and a mid-transformation alternate head. It will also be lovingly packaged in a cardback so 1990s you’ll feel an uncontrollable urge to tight-roll your jeans.
I’ve seen a few folks complaining that the figure’s mold is outdated, but I think it still holds up — especially with an articulated skull jaw and those great flame effects.
What is concerning, however, is that this figure is being revealed right before Hasbro unveils its next Marvel Legends HasLab project, which will feature Ghost Rider to celebrate the character’s 50th anniversary. While it’s safe to assume we’ll be getting a motorcycle, one would hope that a figure will be included — and not just as a stretch goal.
Whatever the case, this Ghost Rider figure will be available to preorder later this month. No specific timing or price info is currently available, but let’s cross our fingers that it doesn’t get the “deluxe” cost treatment.
