Ghost Rider (2023 Sideshow Con)

Yeah it makes some mean photoshopped pictures but still in hand, yes without the full bike, it may not come across as impressive.

Should be interesting to see if the light up saves this piece...people were ----ting all over it.

Its just way too expensive. Literally almost same price as pcs 1\3 daredevil which looks great.

Yea, I would've accepted the price if this came with a full bike.

Without it, the price seems a bit too much.

To be fair, and I don't know if this was Sideshows artistic intention for the sculpt but the half bike really depicts something totally different from the usual full bike. Similar to Silver Surfers half board sculpt which was much less effective due to how static has pose was, attempted to illustrate Surfer coming through a portal. While it did achieve that artistically from certain angles, the overall visual of the piece just didn't work.

This Ghost Rider shows The Rider and his bike, almost ascend out of hell, and if the light up feature is bright enough, could really see the appeal of this. Noway near worth the criticism its getting, I just think Sideshow seem to be taking real artistic leaps of faith with certain sculpts, and if I had the money right now, this one would be a new addition due to its uniqueness in an already abundance of fully biked Riders.

^ I agree with that assessment. It could work for sure.
Personally I'm not giving this piece hate just that for that much I expect to pay a bit more and get the whole bike.

Won't know until it can be seen in person from all angles. That does not help POs though.

i would have ordered this if it had been painted more traditionally and less like a cheeto, im sure many others would have as well. i think the concept is sound and dont mind the half bike at all personally

^ Yeah without the lights its initial reception was a mess.

The lights kind of save what was otherwise a miss. It is still too expensive though.
