So I gotta admit I actually screwed up my vote in the first round of the statue awards. I voted for Sonja as she is one of the most stunning female sculpts I have EVER seen and I know how hard those are to get right. though apparently my vote went to the Spiderman PF (maybe I miss clicked who knows). However, THIS piece deserved my vote. By far one of the MOST impressive pieces I have ever seen, and I am sorry I didnt give it it's due right off the hop. Got my vote for STOY though. I can't wait to see a few more of XMs big hitters that were teased.

Hi Everyone,
I just finished a video for Ghost Rider. I show the Un-boxing, and Assembly including using a heat gun to remold a portion of the chain. This is my 6th XM piece and I'm blown away again at what they have created.

Thank you XM !

Please note I dont monetize any of my videos so no ads. I do it for the fun, and to capture my reaction to the stuff I collect as I unbox.

You're Welcome. This is day 2 for me, and I'm still in awe of this beautifully crafted piece of art.

I voted for this piece to win this year without having it in hand. XM once again has won my heart.

How does one even go about obtaining this statue? Do you have to know someone who knows someone who knows someone? I assume that's the case. I've asked people on the forums before where they got theirs and they get really pissy. Maybe it's just XM collectors.

Try on some BST pages on facebook, there are a few who are selling this piece. Just be prepared to spend a lot of money

Also have to buy a year in advance without seeing the statue completed. But on the first pic samples then find a helper and say I want you to help me buy this statue. If you wait to think it over most will lose out. Don't think buy first then think for the hot ones like this. ghost face biker is one of those like Maggie kind of crazy demand. Too good to let go so demand will just go up for this one of a kind statue.

Nope just folks being pricks.

Looking to get one at retail is pretty much a fool's journey. So you will pay up the ass for this one.

Folks have it for sale in the BST forums, groups, ebay, etc. Its not that hard to find.

You just need to decide if you really want it and are willing to pay what collectors are asking.

I had a chance to get this guy when he was offered and it's a great looking statue, but bottom-line.... I'm not a Ghost Rider fan. So other than flipping it, there was no point in me buying.

I'm not a huge ghost face fan but I am a fan now after seeing this. Heck I would get an extra to sell even with all the risk out there just to try to knock a few hundred to a
grand off my 9k package for Phoenix, mags, thano, and wolverine for coming in late. We should all try to lower the cost of all the many we paid double or triple. Also to make up the many we now need to let go for below retail. Funny how if we paid double or triple people are happy we did. But if we sell for more people complain we are greedy. In the end I actually don't care what people do with their money. I would pay more to buy something bought up by scalping and I would sell for market value when I sell. But then again with these new prices there's really no profits worth the hassle and risk. Maybe a couple of years ago it was good. It's got to the point where all companies raised prices to eliminate all potential profits in order to keep more for themselves leaving collectors having a hard time to move things when space is an issue. It's better to just work at the grocery store an extra week and guarantee 500.00 for sure.
