J's video? As in JayC or JustJHernandez? Wanting to know so I can go check it out!

Sorry, JHernandez. The Venom review.

Even if it was a new headsculpt, it still looks like a Blaze GR head.

@SpiderSit is a new head sculpt .

Are you sure? Only difference between all of them is plastic and wash, skull and flame "hair" are identical.

@SpiderSit is a new head sculpt .

This figure could have been great if they just gave him a new head sculpt, most others figures can easily work with an older head sculpt but not Ghost Rider and when you have two Ghost Riders with exact same flaming heads it's bothersome, especially when Danny had his own distinct look in comics, which was much more "voluminous" flame that fully engulfed his skull.

Mezco made a great headsculpt for their Ghost Rider which could serve as good blue print for new headsculpt but instead of taking notes Hasbro decided to give us 7 year old head sculpt for the 5th time (If you count Magik's accessory skull).

He's about a quarter of an inch shorter than the 2015 (Rhino wave) Johnny Blaze, which isn't crazy since they're different people anyway. That's the only one I can compare it to ATM since the more recent Johnny is staying in-package for now, and he isn't set standing up straight in it. Shoulders are more narrow but the Blaze shoulders are kind of kind of wider than they should be, in my view. He's not wildly out-of-scale with most current legends, taller than females, shorter than most dudes, but honestly, if one's not posing him on the bike I don't know what the point of getting the figure would even be.

Thanks for the info! I see in your other comment you have him side by side with some other figs in the actual video, I'll go check it out!

Heard he's a bit undersized compared to other ML figures. Is that true?

Would have been nice to see some comparison. I mean how do these reviewers expect to get any kind of reputation as a good reviewer without comparisons to older figures. Good for these guys and glad they're getting some recognition but both GR and Venom have previous figures we'd all like to see compared. What good is being first to review if you really don't give the consumer the full picture if the upgrade is worth the cost? Especially n today's market.

Correction. Actually J's video is very thorough. That's the way to do it.

I mean, I literally have them side-by-side as well as shaking hands. Didn't find the size difference all that notable, there isn't much of one. It's not like it's super pronounced like with the Warbird figure.
