Hi I have a question, why are there no studs / buttons on the removable bib, the artwork on the box has them showing and on the image at the start of your video, Other than that a great piece.
Good question! If I had to guess, I'd say that the Graphics people at Sideshow opted to use the original concept art for the box, just as they did for the modern variant of this figure. If you take a look at the HTBAP video of that figure, you'll notice that those studs are included on its front flap. Flash-forward to the creation of the Classic Variant of the figure. The lack of studs on the blue suit is a throwback to JB's original look from the OG comic book. (Do a Google image search for "Ghost Rider Original Comic Book" and you'll find plenty evidence of this.) It didn't make any sense to put studs on the jacket just to match the original concept art when adherence to the original aesthetic is a more desirable feature. Similarly, reaching out to the artist behind the original box artwork to have him redo the painting to match the figure would have been an egregious waste of resources to correct such a minor detail. And having a uniform box design is usually preferable to people who appreciate such things.
@@PosemasterGeneral Hi, thanks for the info, yeah after I saw the black suit version, I have been looking through the original art of GR issues 1-12 and you are right there doesn't appear to be studs on the original blue costume. Thank's for responding.
Thanks Terry, I reference this for my AOS Ghost Rider!
Antman1214 Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.
I swear! You got the coolest job
Well, it's more of a side gig. But it's way, way more fun than my actual job.
Toys Will Be Toys do you get free toys for working at sideshow?

Way better poses than the ones done with the black costume figure!
Thanks. I felt much better about it this time around. 🤘🏻😎
Very nice. Reminds me of the Ghost Rider from Agents of SHIELD.
My question is are they 2 versions sometimes it seems blue and then sometimes in another video seem black?
Great question! There were 2 versions available. The blue leather figure was the classic variant limited to 350 pieces.
@@CollectSideshow ok great thank you I think I’ll go with the black one
Can't go wrong with either!

I feel like how to be a poser videos are for figures that aren't selling well
