Sideshow: Ghost Rider (2023)

For $1100, Sideshow should have manned up and made the whole bike

Sure, but then it would cost probably closer to $1500 with a huge box and a higher shipping cost.

Overall it's not a bad piece, it may not be what people want, or more specifically want to pay.
The vitriol and speculation on the other forum is funny to watch / read...

you say that as if people wouldn't spend more if it was proper 1/4 scale and a full bike.

There hasn’t been a full bike since the first Bowen Ghost Rider statue

I'm not saying they wouldn't, including myself.
The PCS 1/6 full bike dio is $880, before taxes and freight.
So this at the asking price is not all that uncalled for, at least to me...

But this "is what it is", and after owning the XM version I'm ok with only half a bike.

I like the "vintage" chopper over the XM "custom" chopper. There are small details on the SSC version that are not present on the XM, like the charred leather which I like as the leather on the XM version is clean and as smooth as a baby's bottom, lacking that gritty element that I see more on the SSC version.

Apparently, it lights up. Not gonna lie, looks sick now.

Let's see how people react... looks even better now.

It does look so much better now. Glad they included it for those that ordered one.

Funny how some ppl think that Sideshow is just showing this off as a sort of one off piece, but not including it on production pieces based on comments I’ve read. Though, Sideshow could’ve explicitly put it in their caption that this is the new prototype showing off a light-up feature that will be included with all orders

750 ed size, for the size and cost that seems about right I guess...

Shipping in June?

No amount of light ups is going to fix an iffy sculpt
