Fwiw, that original AIM/Starlord/Ghost rider was a giant at the time and hilariously over sized at nearly 7 inches. The new Danny is probably more accruate scale but its not a 1 size fits all solution. Though I think if he was the half head taller towering over everyone it would be a different issue. Standard Hasbro problems. It's the finishing touches and details that bridge the gap between a fine chunk of plastic to something thats just hand candy that makes you happy to hold. I loved playing Ghost Rider in MvC3, I'd have liked having some more whip options. At least one more that's fully extended where he's at the very end of hitting someone with it. Getting a metal chain with magnetic clasp for GR was my first bit of customizing back in the day.
That Johnny Blaze was OVER-sized. That buck is over 10 years old and 7 inches tall. Dwight specifically said they made the new Ghost Rider shorter to fix this.
i dont think so, marvel legends scaling is all over the place. atleast gr used to tower over spider man and actually appear intimidating with its highest if standed next to other mls. Can't say the same for our wimpy rider over here.
@@Venom-cd7tw the original GR figure was too tall . It was taller than the standard buckycap mold way back in the day and those were both supposed to represent the base 6'2" size
@@whitezombified compare it to the standard captain america mold or the Vulcan mold or even better, the renew your vows spiderman mold now which all re recent. Marvel legends were upscaling a lot of their bucks until they got to gr and they botched it instead
@@Venom-cd7tw they made it the proper scale . Literally the only difference is how long the boots are and how low the head sits on the neck . The actual figure is fine
The height is definitely a bit disappointing but Im willing to overlook it. I love the head sculpt and the Hell cycle. I'll definitely keep my preorder for this guy. Great review Manny, very informative and detailed 😎
The reason he doesn't FEEL Danny Ketch is that Danny had a HUGE torso and broad shoulders and a smaller skull proprtionately. Hasbro has a hard time with shoulders being to small or sunk in to the sockets.
Honestly, Danny Ketch is a ultra cool super very badass Ghost Rider with a bike like Johnny Blaze and while I may not have him, I might try to get him or the 2022 retro carded Ghosr Rider to fight The Orb.
1:27 Exactly why I will NOT be purchasing this. Took 22 years for another 90’s Danny Ketch Ghost Rider and Hasbro does THIS. It’s 2024. This is unacceptable. And at this price?! Nah.
@@ezlmonqzy9650It would have to a Ross type of discount t for me to buy this. And only then, it would be to put this head on my 2018 or my 2015 Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider. It sucks because I really love Danny Ketch and wanted this figure, but the scaling ruined it for me. Everything else about this figure and bike I can live with, but the shortness would just annoy me every time.
I wish GI JOE dept could take over Marvel Legends. Guys who mkae Legends now are stuck in 2005 engineering wise. And of course, same fire effect since like 2015/2016. How lazy is this?
16:03 the Johnny Ghost Rider has a bunch of good things, I like the paint in the skull... but overall he looks very outdated and terrible compared to this new danny fig! Definitely getting him. Also, another person pointed out that the AIM soldier buck that Johnny uses was oversized.
Are you kidding me? That’s like not putting claws on Wolverine because it isn’t necessary lol. They just go together. Lol. Wow. Well you know I don’t half ass anything here my friend. Glad you came to the right channel.
Im mad with marvel legends scaling like cable is supposed to taller than sabertooth but sabertooth is taller i love the figures its just they need to work on the scaling
In the comic stats everyone and their grandmother is over 6 ft. 2 . In reallity the average height is 5 ft.8 . so why should super heroes be any different . just like the only good guys with shaved heads are prof. Xavier and Black super heroes, what is up with that??? Im a scale stickler for figures BUT when it comes to marvel or DC stats I completely ignore them . Same with rediculous story lines.
Great review. I love the Luke cage and iron fist set now we need marvel legends 2.0 Blue marvel helmeted version , Doc Sampson, mayor Luke cage, Coal Tiger aka Black Panther.
Looks like most of the size difference is in the boots. Can those be kitbashed? Danny is my favorite too. I bought GR #1 when it it originally came out in the 90s and still have it
Oh man i didnt know he had drop down hips. Do you think you can post a picture of how tall he is with his drop down hips being all the way down. It might look goofy but atleast he'll be taller.
Whoever decided that it was ok to make Danny Ketch Ghost Rider that short deserves to get Penance stared at... now I'll have to swap the entire lower torso and legs from my extra blaze ghost rider to get the height corrected smh
Awesome review Manny! I plan on still getting mine besides the height of the figure. I missed out on the original Ghost Rider release so this guy is a must. I guarantee if they would have made this Ghost Rider a tier in the engine of vengeance it would have funded. In the wishlist section it would be cool if they re-released the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider. For those of us that did get it the first time.
Great review.. Danny is my GR too.. but I’m skipping this. Everything about Marvel Legends just seems Lazy to me anymore. He’s not awful I guess but the scale drives me nuts, the flames being just wrong and over all the figure just looking freaking plain drives me insane. I may regret not getting him because who knows when they’ll give us another one but man.. there’s just too much “wrong” here for me. I feel like the Joe team loves everything they do and they put care into their figures (despite re-use.. but that’s always been Joe..) and Marvel Legends team is just like eeggghh just out that out people will buy it. I can’t accept things they do because it’s just.. like I said, lazy and this thing is 50 bucks.. when the packs like this originally went for 39.. Fairly sure I paid that for Johnny. I customize stuff all the time.. but I’m sort of getting tired of paying a higher price for ML and then “fixing” them. No shade at anyone who gets this dude but, yeah.. for 50 bucks he needs to be above and beyond. Customizers and Kitbashers built a Danny Ketch in a Den, with a bunch of scrap! Get it DONE HASBRO.
hmmm.... nah. new GR wasn't short or undersized. the old GR blaze AIM buck mold suffers from a long legged syndrome. Suffered weird proportion Blaze have.
He looks tiny. Maybe they wanted to do a DK head sculpt. But again. He will mostly be on the bike. So I’m not bugged out about it. The one thing it does need is a little wash.
The piece that joins the chain he usually had that in front. I think what you’re missing is the gauntlets and spikes look too plastic they supposed to be on black bands as well not just all silver. Plus his flames are too small We’re definitely going to have some modding to do.
Not only is the figure too small, but the bike looks to be too tiny as well. The Danny Ketch from ToyBiz had the same issue because they couldn’t resize the package. I really really wanted this character, but seeing how meh he turned out has completely turned me off from it. I don’t personally have this figure but if I did I’m sure I personally wouldn’t recommend it beyond it just being Danny Ketch. Like all Marvel Legends it’s not particularly special nor does it do anything especially well
Definitely wasn’t a mistake downscaling DK… they’ll 💯 make another blaze… likely with a more modern design and make him accurate in height with DK and we’ll all want to buy him anyways 😂
I’ll take Danny being smaller cuz it makes them look like 2 different people besides Johnny and Danny being the same height just seems weird to me. Danny is younger so in my head I think shorter. Plus why would his skeleton increase in size just cuz Ghost Rider takes over it should depend on the person
I feel we got every right to be picky about the figure especially with his height cause we waited YEARRRSSS to get an updated danny ghost rider😭😂 i also agree on the flame piece on the head. I was hoping for a new look
Bro, the ghost rider blaze/ aim body is just too tall. Measure it up and see it's over 6 1/2 inches that's why the blaze body is even taller than cap and others...
It would be cool if someone designs a Wheelie flame to have it have the flame effects all the way under and flames to have an ultimate front wheel flame with some wow factor. I'm going to talk to a couple people that customize and create something amazing with a 3D printer and perhaps paint if needed. I'll keep ya's posted if I can make it happen.
Why the fuck wouldnt they fill in the headlights on the shield part. Like why Hasbro. Every other ghost rider bike based off this has it other than this. Massive pass on this Ghost rider overall. Maybe if he gets a sale ill buy him but im not too sure
The waist is a big reason I pass on a lot of ML sadly, some articulation I can deal with but call me spoiled I just prefer a ball joint, like on all action figures
gundum silver paint pen paint everything that you want silver i love silver paint pens i went ham when i got mine i mean everything that was supposed to be silver on my figures became very silver lmao
That little flame for the wheelie effect doesn't make sense, why is there just a tiny flame under the middle of the bike? They should've done a huge flame stand that connects to the front wheel.
They probably made them yeah of this teenager body from the first comic and stuff when he was a teenager when blackout killed his sister and those red hand ninjas
I agree with you about the scale. I’m a pretty big stickler for that sort of thing myself but regardless, I think the figure in the bike both look incredible.
Being upset about the height of a supernatural character is kinda weird. Like that’s something your head cannon won’t let you get past. If he’s able to make himself taller when he’s the rider then why is it so unbelievable that he would want to stay the same height as his human form?? Just accept he can make himself any height and the figure you have is just the particular height he chose.
Thanks for the review. My issue is the front wheel not stirring because it takes a lot of dynamic poses/ shots to highlight the main reason people are buying the set.
I don't know much about Ghost Rider besides what I have seen in media, but this is the one I grew up with. I got the old Toybiz Ghost Rider 5 inch at Toys R Us as a birthday present. I'd like to get a retro wave of Marvel legends based on the old Ghost Rider toys. Its a bummer it's undersized. When they do all new sculpts I expect they can do what they have to for accuracy.
Now THIS is what we should’ve gotten included with the failed Engine of Vengeance Haslab to justify that absurd price. Johnny Blaze w/ bike Danny Ketch/ w bike Vengeance/ w bike Alejandra Jones/ w bike Tier unlocks: 1. BlackHeart 2. Mephisto BONUS tier if all unlocked Good measure thank you customers for unlocking all tiers. 3. Carter Slade/ w Horse
