Finally...Ghost Rider

[Ice Dragon]

Sorry if this has been mentioned in another post, but my internet time has been very limited of late. I just saw some coverage from Toy Fair, specifically WizKids. A shot of the Ultimates booster shows Ghost Rider on the side of the box. He is not on a double base like some of the Mage Knight rider figures. He is riding his motorcycle, doing a wheelie and swinging his chain. Can't wait to get him, hopefully he's not a unique so he'll be somewhat easy to acquire.

Want to make sure I give credit for the coverage, I saw the image at Super Hero Times Gallery.

thanks.....definately ghost rider :) :laugh: .....can't tell who the other character is though. great pics. clearer view of GR than the other pics around


GHOST RIDER!!!! wow what next baron zemo, or maybe a new electra;) things can't get any better

[Unrightousness]

Picture please.

[Wyldstaar]

Okay, I just went to the superhero times site. There is no gallery listed, nor is there any listing for Wizkids/Heroclix on their Toyfair coverage.

[Grifter]

Very good eyes, thanks for the heads up!

That is pretty exciting. Now that GR is confirmed here's hoping Punisher makes it into Ultimates too.

Try this.

oh my god hes so frickin cool, sorry im just so excited.:)

[Wyldstaar]

Thanx. I tried doing a Wizkids search on that site, but all that came up was the Galactus/Silver Surfer/Invisigirl announcement from last month.

[Unrightousness]

Is that Living Laser under Ghost Rider? Or is it Unicorn?

[ohcysp]

I can't tell, it looks like it could be armorred Spidey.
I'm still really pissed that between these pics and the ones on Galactichunter.com no one could take one pic of the DC set one shelf down and post it.

[Thunderbolts]

Dude.... it looks like.... ZEMO! In his new dark costume w/purple hood!!!! :O

[Speedy]

Ghost Rider was definately a long time coming. From what you can see, the sculpt looks pretty cool. Man, does that make the entire Champions team. All I remember is Iceman, Ghost Rider, Angel, Hercules and Black Widow. Was any one else on that team?

[shiffy0295]

sweet sweet ghost rider

[Unrightousness]

Actually, it DOES look like Zemo. FINALLY!!!, If it is.

[ohcysp]

Okay, I'm on my quest to find some good pics of the DC figs and I find this:

While no more pics of the DC figs are found I see this:
"So, why no Wizkids photos? Well, it turns out that, while I took many, many photos, they are...secrets. There's big stuff in the works over there. Big stuffs indeed! So you'll all hear about it soon enough. But as of now, no photos we took are permitted to go online, as they'd reveal their secret, secret plans."

Funny, I just had this conversation. We are still missing Darkstar. I am using Phoenix to represent her currently.

[Unrightousness]

wasn't Black Goliath a member, too?

[davenappy]

YES!!!! That's an even better picture than the one we had before. That is definitely Ghost Rider. It's nice not having to see it as a reflection also!! I'm kind of disappointed he's not a mounted figure taking up two squares, but the sculpt looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nightwingster]

For some reason I sense lots of charge...

The only Ghost Rider comics I have are the ones my dad gave me of when he teams up with Spidey to fight Hobgoblin. That was all I needed to sense his badassednes. He threw a guy off a building!

[Gambit026]

To me it looks like there is a yellow ring on Ghost Rider's base not silver, cause it looks to bright to be a silver ring.

[green_knight]

The guy below him looks like Ultimate Iron man, to me.

[PsychoDBoy]

Finally, I can make the New Fantastic Four!!!

[DarkKnight316]

I think that might be a silver ring, but it could be yellow. Any thoughts on a TA? Maybe we'll see a new Midnight Sons TA(Mystics anyone). That would be cool. I also think the fig below him is Zemo. Finally. NOw if they just make Beetle in all his glory then I will die happy.

[Cell]

Actually, I doubt he gets Charge.... Leap and Climb is more likely since the Bike could run up walls and stuff.......

[uswarmachine]

YES! And it looks like the early 90's run sculpt too. Dan Ketch lives!

[CoolJerk]

OMG I can't believe WizKids FINALLY went ahead and made one of the 'Clix I have been hoping and praying for since their first expansion!!! There he is, on the side of that Ultimates booster box... in living color!!! (see link in Post #18, above)

I was hoping he'd show up in Critical Mass but he's so totally worth the wait! Imagining his powers... he's gonna be a monster! And he looks like a unique, as he should be!

MOLECULE MAN!!

What. You thought I was talking about Ghost Rider?

Dude you are absolutley right!!!!
The bike is definitely the Dan Ketch Ghost Rider's bike!!!!
OMG!!!!!! :grin:
Also looks like he has a yellow ring (so he's no unique!!!).
In this case I'll forgive WK their stupid ultimates theme ;)

Since we get the Dan Ketch GR and probably Punisher (because of the movie) we only need Blackheart to replay the "Hearts of Darkness" stories. (We already have Berserker Wolverine).

Man...GR is the first step towards the release of more Midnight Sons and eventually MORBIUS!!!!!

cheers,
Dr.Morbius ;)

[WarHULK]

I'm so glad there's an even better picture of the side of that booster! I knew I saw Ghost Rider! I'm 95% sure the other figure on the booster is Baron Zemo, aswell. Looks like WK is making up for the Ultimates thing by throwing in some faves from the regular Marvel U. I'm hoping for Namor aswell!

Btw, from this picture we can see that Jesse Quick is, indeed, a flyer.

[Dr. Morbius]

I hope they will use the same acrylic orange plastic for
GR's head that they used for Nova and Dormammu!!

Wouldn't that be sweeeeeet!?!?!

Can't wait to get a Rider...he's gonna be on quite a lot of my teams...

the first thing will be to put him on a team with Blade LE and Dr.Strange (v)....the Midnightsons are about to rise again!!

Dr.Morbius :devious:

[Wyldstaar]

With Hanibal King appearing in the third Blade movie this year, maybe we'll get him too! Too bad Frank Drake doesn't appear to be in it though.

[Dr. Morbius]

yeah..actually Drake is...they even kept his history as being a decendant of Dracula....except they are making him Dracula with the name Drake....
I hate it when they mess up characters' backgrounds :(

[Wyldstaar]

Cool. I'd only heard about King and Whistler's daughter.
