If it's cool and if it's fun and if they engage with it the way that we already have engaged with Gabe, I think there's an opportunity not only to tell stories - the really good Ghost Rider stories - within our family, but then who knows where it goes? Who knows where he rides off to?" But if for some reason I've lapsed and I haven't been watching SHIELD, now I'm going, you know what, ten o'clock, Tuesday nights, not a whole lot less I'm going to be watching. And that you're suddenly going, oh, first of all, if I'm a longtime watcher of SHIELD, I'm going, cool - cannot wait. "What makes it exciting is that it's on SHIELD. "So we looked at all the various places that it could be, and in many ways, the fact that it was so unexpected for it to be on SHIELD. And we just knew that this character was right to tell those stories right now," he said. "We had a long talk with ABC about what can we get away with, so to speak. time slot opened up Agents of SHIELD to get into some of the violence and darkness explored in the Marvel Netflix shows. The figure is a limited exclusive, and like the Shades Iron Man figure that went up for order earlier in the month, I’d expect it will sell out within a day or two.On paper it might seem like it makes more sense for Ghost Rider to join the likes of Daredevil, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones on Netflix. ![]() The Hot Toys Agents of SHIELD Ghost Rider 1:6 figure is now up for order, with an expected release date in fall 2017. Hot Toys has shown off several vastly more iconic vehicles (like the Batman ’66 Batmobile) and then cancelled them in recent years, so the chance of a corresponding car being made for a figure that’s already a limited exclusive is basically zero.Īnd speaking of which–this 1/6 Ghost Rider is a “Toy Fairs Exclusive”, which means that it will only be available in the United States in limited quantities via the Sideshow Collectibles website (so no BBTS or whoever this time out). To manage expectations, for those who are holding out hope for a 1/6 flaming car to complement the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider MMS–don’t hold your breath. While we won’t be getting a non-flaming skull Robbie Reyes head sculpt, we are getting some pretty neat accessories with this MMS figure, including both a metal chain and a flaming orange chain, as well as as fire effects pieces for Ghost Rider’s hands and even his base. Not only do we get an impressively sculpted flaming skull head, but it actually has both an articulated jaw (which is the most fun point of articulation for any Ghost Rider toy) and also LED light-up flames. The body of the Movie Masterpiece Series figure itself here is pretty simple (though the real leather jacket looks slick as hell), but what really stands out is the awesome head sculpt here. While Hot Toys has previously released a Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider movie figure, this version is specifically the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider seen in Agents of SHIELD (who also happens to be the modern Ghost Rider in comic books). Now, I’m not gonna lie: I would’ve preferred series regulars Fitz-Simmons, Melinda Mae or even Daisy Johnson (Quake) to glorified guest star Ghost Rider, but when it comes to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ![]() But finally–finally!!–Hot Toys decided that there was something in the show that collectors would definitely pay top-dollar for: Ghost Rider! We got a trio of Funko POP Vinyls (plus Lola)… and that’s basically it. Perhaps because of the mixed reception for the series, AoS has never received a whole lot of toy love. Yeah, yeah–I know Netflix Daredevil and Jessica Jones are allegedly vastly superior shows, but I’ve just never felt like Agents of SHIELD received the cred that it deserved (particularly that first season, which I maintain is pretty brilliant). I know it’s not always a popular opinion, but I feel no shame in saying that I love me some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
