As for Ghost Rider, the XM is the standard and the Bar is set fairly high. If SS or IS do Ghost Rider I'll be expecting a lot.
If either do Ghost Rider i'd take something less than what XM gave us.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the XM one, n ot enoguh to drop the cash on it, again it's a fine statue but when you're dropping that much money and giving up that much space it has to be perfect and for me clear resin would have made it perfect. As it is i'm not sure, but again I've never seen it in hand i'm sure it would blow me away...but man i would have loved it to be clear resin...

So i'd take a more museum/semiaction pose with a detailed demons/angels/fire/chains base...i don't think they have to match up to XM and include his bike...i'm thinking something like Prime 1s Doom statue...

Just the character getting some love would be great

I couldn't buy the XM either, too much money and space, like you said, but it is impressive. I do agree, the flames are a little cartoonish since they aren't translucent, but I think they were afraid for structural reasons, which I get.

Neither Sideshow nor IS need to be as emmense as the XM, but I expect a really glorious realistic sculpt if they do try a Ghost Rider.

Hopefully with all these new versions of existing PFs like Surfer, Daredevil, Deadpool, X-men etc and new PFs like Dr Strange....combined with the talents of the Kuchareks and Daniel Bel at the helm....Sideshow could do something to impress for sure.

So I'm thinking about picking this one up. I'm more impressed with it the more I see it.

Do we know if this statue is all one piece? Or is the head a separate piece from the rest of the body? I can't quite tell if the neck area has a seam for the detachable head, or if it's just a molded suit seam and this is all one piece?

And on another note...why no Luke Cage 1/4 statue?

Yup, Moon Knight would be fantastic. I'd get that for sure.

Agreed. That crouching pose on the XM Moon Knight hid all the details. I would prefer a better pose.

Definitely the classic Cage. The last version just looks like some guy.
