The panel begins.

Has to do with Ghost Rider showing Launch Video. Its Robie Reyes and his car.

Robbie Reyes has pin-less joints.

The car has multiple stages of lights. The headrest has a led light so when the figure sits in the car the head lights up on the figure.

The cost is $349.99 and will require a minimum 9k backers by October 31, 2022. The campaign is live now.

When the moon rises, and evil prowls the street, a vengeful spirit awakens. Crackling with Hellfire and consumed by a dark power, no nemesis can withstand the wrath of… The GHOST RIDER!

Marvel Legends is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Ghost Rider franchise with a new type of HasLab project: Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider and the Engine of Vengeance!

50 years ago, the supernatural super hero first rode off the pages of Marvel Comics and into the realm of Marvel legend. From Carter Slade to Johnny Blaze to Danny Ketch to Robbie Reyes, many names have taken on the Ghost Rider mantle, fueled by vengeance and a sick ride. The next Marvel Legends HasLab project will bring another Ghost Rider to life like never before, starring a vehicle unlike any on your shelf. With Hasbro Pulse, fans can bring the Spirit of Vengeance into our realm -- and it won't even cost you your soul!

Fire Up the Engine of Vengeance

The only thing more iconic than a Ghost Rider is their signature vehicle. For Robbie Reyes, it's a black muscle car possessed by the spirit of Elias Morrow that transforms from sleek antique to Hellfire-powered Engine of Vengeance. The Marvel Legends 6-inch scale Engine of Vengeance comes with 18 total pieces for converting the car between two modes -- Street Mode and Hellfire Mode. Inspired by Robbie Reyes's car that can burst into flames of Hellfire, the vehicle comes equipped with 20 LEDs and 7 accessories designed to make the car appear to be crackling with the flames of vengeance.


Street Mode

The Street Mode version of the vehicle is a classic black muscle car inspired by the All-New Ghost Rider comics.It comes with a classic silver supercharged engine that snaps into the hood of the car, as well as four standard tires made from vinyl for a realistic texture. These pieces are used without LED effects and can be removed and replaced with illuminated Hellfire pieces.


Hellfire Mode

Comes with 11 translucent Hellfire Accessories designed to transform the vehicle into a true Engine of Vengeance. Includes four transparent orange Hellfire tires and four Fire Rim accessories designed to make it look like the wheels have flames coming out of them. Two Exhaust Flame pieces can be plugged into the tailpipes for more flame effects. When you attach the flaming Hellfire Engine to the hood of the car and press down, LEDs are activated for fire-inspired lights. All 11 translucent Hellfire Accessories glow when the LEDs turn on to give the impression that the car is powered by flames from the Spirit of Eli. LEDs flicker and pulse to look like crackling fire. Press down on the Hellfire Engine to cycle through different light sequences and supercharge up your display case.


Beyond Hellfire

In addition to the Hellfire Accessory pieces, there are further light-up sections to give the Engine of Vengeance a supernatural look. There is an LED light behind the driver's seat headrest that will light up behind Ghost Rider's head, making it look like the flames coming out of his skull are on fire when he's inside the car. The grill and taillights of the car also glow with LEDs for a total of 20 LEDs throughout the vehicle. Snap in the Hellfire Engine to get all the lights glowing. (Requires 3 AA batteries. Not included.)


Marvel Legends' Most Premium Vehicle Yet

Buckle up for the first Marvel Legends HasLab vehicle. Designed to enhance any Marvel Legends collector's shelf, the Engine of Vengeance vehicle features a premium design aimed to delight Marvel fans and car enthusiasts alike. With impressive display capabilities, the vehicle has premium detailing, finish, and functionality. The vehicle is designed at a 6-inch scale, measuring approximately 18.5 inches long x 7.5 inches wide x 5.5 inches tall. The driver's and passenger side doors both open and close to fit a 6-inch figure in each seat. The passenger seat is also removable to place a 6-inch figure in the backseat! Car can fit three standard 6-inch Marvel Legends figures inside at once. We meticulously added as many design details as possible, including a trunk door that opens to hold Ghost Rider's accessories inside, wheels that roll and front wheels that can be manually turned to position the car in different ways, and an articulated skull gear shifter. The Engine of Vengeance vehicle has molded details on the bottom of the car and a high-gloss shine finish.


Hell on Wheels

For additional display capabilities, the Engine of Vengeance comes with two Brimstone Risers -- unique smoke-themed ramps that fit under either the two front or two back tires. Risers can be placed underneath the tires to give the impression of smoke billowing from the flaming wheels. They also work as ramps underneath the front tires to pose the car as though it is about to take off, inspired by the car's supernatural capabilities in the comics.


Robbie Reyes: A New Ghost Rider

In 2014, the Ghost Rider franchise met their newest hero in Robbie Reyes with All-New Ghost Rider Vol. 1: Engine of Vengeance. A teenager living in East Los Angeles and caring for his disabled brother, the course of Robbie Reyes's future was changed forever after he entered a street race using a muscle car, that unbeknownst to Robbie, was bound to an evil spirit. That fateful decision led to him being killed as collateral in a gang war and awakening imbued with the spirit of Eli Morrow. Robbie is then set on a path to fight for more than just vengeance, but justice -- and fighting Eli for his soul along the way. Empowered by a metal Hellfire Chain, his flaming car, and a wicked new spirit, Robbie Reyes is Ghost Rider.

For the first time in the Marvel Legends line, fans can collect the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider. This 6-inch-scale figure features premium design and articulation, wearing a comics-inspired black racing suit. Ghost Rider's head has translucent orange flames that glow when he is placed in the driver's seat of the car and the LEDs are activated. Ghost Rider figure comes with pick hammer and crowbar accessories linked with a 5-inch real metal chain, inspired by Marvel Comics. Designed for the ultimate comics-inspired Ghost Rider display.

Early Bird Special: Double the Display Capability

Two modes of the Engine of Vengeance car call for two drivers. If the campaign reaches its minimum goal of 9,000 backers before 11:59 PM ET September 23, 2022 all backers will receive an additional Marvel Legends 6-inch scale figure: Robbie Reyes in his human form. The exclusive version of Robbie Reyes will feature changes to his outfit and his human head with a comics-inspired look. This means backers will have two distinct figures for each display mode of the car. If the project is not backed by 11:59 PM ET on September 23, 2022, the Robbie Reyes Human-Form figure will not go into production, and only the Ghost Rider figure of Robbie Reyes will be included with the offering.


The Drive to Vengeance

After the Marvel Legends Galactus and Marvel's Sentinel HasLab projects were funded, we started brainstorming new and different ways to enhance our fans' shelves and contribute a meaningful addition to your collections. With 2022 marking the 50th anniversary of Ghost Rider, we created the first premium 6-inch-scale automobile in the Marvel Legends line. The Engine of Vengeance HasLab project was the perfect opportunity to develop an impressive, premium vehicle to amp up our collectors' shelves. Vehicle stands at an impressive 18.5 x 7.5 x 5.5 inches (approximate) in Street Mode. Robbie Reyes is a fresh take on Ghost Rider and first-time addition to the Marvel Legends line, and we are beyond excited to offer him and his iconic car to Marvel fans.

They seemingly were teasing Mehphisto and Blackheart as stretch goals. If those end up being the goals and they get unlocked then I will probably get one,

[Reno]

Sure, I'd really like to have this... but speaking as someone who bought Galactus and 3 Sentinels from the prior HasLabs, I honestly don't think that I'd buy this at even half the price they're selling it for. The stretch goals would have to be pretty extreme for me to change my mind, I think. I'm happy for everybody that is excited for it, though.

[tarot]

half an hour and over 1100. Civie Robbie is coming.

[JayC]

Note on the early bird figure. If it reaches 9k by 23rd that is included no matter what. So if you wait to back it after the 23rd and its unlocked you also get the human robbie. I know that caused confusion with the GIJoe Haslab when they did the earlybird thing there.

[Hossman]

This is nice, but not enough for me to pay $350. I missed the last Johnny Blaze with the bike. I have all of the old ones, but I kick myself for not grabbing the last bike. Throw in a Danny Ketch with bike on this HASLAB, and I am in.

[Legender]

So, we will end paying 350 US for Mephisto that comes with a Ghost Rider and a car as accesories?

Is hinted at the end of the video

[Air-Walker]

Wait....the modern Ghost Rider is some kind of robot?? Ehh, nevermind, I'll google it. Any how, this does look really sweet! While I do want a classic Mephisto figure for sure, I don't want it that bad, lol. I do hope that Hasbro one day outgrows that chintzy tactic. I'm definitely curious to see how this goes though, and specifically if Haslabs can work when there's not a lot of nostalgia in the mix.

While it doesn't interest me (and don't get me wrong, it looks cool), I think if they had this thing around $250.00....it would reach every goal they set by the end of the day. Just sayin'. 

Agree about Mephisto; I'd like to get him, but he can't be on that pizza spidey buck, and he's not enough of a draw for me to plunk down $350.00.

The car's interiors really look sweet. Nice detail there.

Maybe this will prod them to tackle the Punisher van next. Hmmmm.

[monron999]

Damn, I am beyond torn. I want to be part of the contribution to the Civilian Robbie, but there just isn't enough her to tear me away from "tree-fiddy" right now. I'm thinking the tiers might push me over the line, but of course we don't know what those are yet. My heart wants to pull the trigger now to help make sure we all get that Robbie, but my brain tells me to hold off and wait to see. In the end a Civilian Robbie ain't all that important to me. It's not like we even have a Civilian Johnny and I'm sure not many of us will be expecting a Civilian Danny if and when he comes out. Now if Mephisto and Blackheart are one of the tiers it's all go-time, baby.

[Satam]

$350? Ouch. Chrome brightwork and some detail painting on the chassis might have gone a long way to justifying that price. The tail lights and front turn signals being the wrong shape and the bumper guards being missing are a definite knocks against this, IMO. Gonna have to see what the stretch goals are, but unless they're spectacular, I doubt I'm going to be backing this.

[tarot]

when they actually announce where i can back this in Ireland (thinking Zavvi again) it's an instant buy for me. I love Robbie. He is my second favorite GR after Ketch. The car has so much detail that they didn't have to include, especially the interior. 

As for Mephisto being a tier, I expected this. Like they said at the end of the stream, it would have been one of the only ways to get him out. But let's not start that argument again.

But for the price, 300 should have been the max. I understand there is licensing fee involved but this is smaller then the hisstank. This will get back so I'm not worried about it.

[MODADDYDODOK]

Whew, that is one sweet looking Dodge Charger.  
I always thought GR Reyes was a pretty cool design but still don’t know anything about the character nor ever really cared to. I don’t give two turds about the early bird offering. That’s a lot of money but I *were* to back this project, it would be for that classic American muscle, Mephisto and the other tier figures if they can pass as classic versions. Blackheart seems likely. Maybe Hellstrom 🤷‍♂️

[NotNamed]

That really ticks me off that they would put Mephisto in with a $350 modern car. I don't buy that he couldn't be released at retail. Besides, he could have easily been fan channel, Pulse exclusive, or even bundle a bunch of classic figs together. Just a way to try to keep their pet Haslab from turning out like the last couple SW ones.

[Sidewinder]

I’m not a giant Ghost Rider fan in general. I like him as a background character.  I will admit, though, this is a sweet looking figure and car. I’m way more excited about seeing the Marvel Legends version than I have ever been about seeing artwork of this car.

$350 is way more than I would pay for this though. I thought the Sentinel was a overpriced at $300 for what it was.  I certainly don’t think that this set is better than the Sentinel. 

I kind of think - a nice Hot Toys MCU figure is $100 less than this car and figure. That’s kind of staggering.  I personally think the Hot Toys figures are better than this car and figure.  I still go back to you could buy two of the Transformers Scorponok figures at retail and have money left over for what this set will cost you.

I can factor in demand and cost to manufacture and inflation and all of those things. Still, it seems slightly high to me. Depends on how many figures end up being included.  I wish they would just show everything and see if people will fund it.

Whatchu talkin bout, that’s a classic car 😁. I agree with ya though. They can offer Mephisto here for a very expensive & limited time, but unable to offer him any other way? I would love to hear them explain that one.

Agreed, I don't buy it either. I mean, they wide-released the Red Skull....a freaking Nazi and personal protégé of Hitler for freak-sakes. Yes, the Red Skull isn't/ wasn't real, but his bio still has far closer and more grotesque real-world connotations than a Supernatural fantasy monster.

I used to be in the camp that thought a Disney-licensed product would never release a toy of a devil/demon character like Mephisto....but then they let Hasbro do Surtur... and McFarlane just did Sabbac for Warner Brothers owned DC that won't even allow guns to be sold with their figures.... so I think that argument has been put to bed.

[s7pach]

I put this together last Halloween and then took it apart afterwards. There are LED lights with a flame effect within the fire. Not sure why I didn't take a video of it, just a pic. This is my version of Caleb Ghost Rider. I hope they come out with a Ghost Rider line with more versions of GR. Also, why the "HELL" doesn't Hasbro include the shipping cost when we're paying over $350?!!!

 

 

[memocromatico]

350 is way too much, the tiers better be incredible if it's ever gonna justify the price. I mean, it's been said before, but the Sentinel looked like a better addition and it wasn't this expensive, was it?
