Toying Around Reviews - Marvel Legends: Cosmic Ghost Rider
Marvel Legends: Cosmic Ghost Rider
Today we will be taking a look at Cosmic Ghost Rider from the Marvel Legends Rider Series.
In an alternate reality of Earth-TRN666, where Thanos conquered all the Universe, the Punisher was one of the last casualties during the last stand of the heroes and his soul was subsequently sent to Hell. The Punisher signed a demonic deal with Mephisto and became the Ghost Rider. When he returned to Earth, however, Thanos was already gone and everything on the planet was dead. Roaming endlessly and undying with no one to kill or love, the Ghost Rider spent the next countless years alone. He eventually began to lose his mind when even Mephisto fell silent to his calls. When a badly injured Galactus arrived on Earth seeking help against Thanos, unaware that the population of Earth had already been killed by him, the Ghost Rider offered the dead planet to him in exchange for the chance of punishing the Mad Titan as his herald which the Great Devourer accepted. Bestowed with the Power Cosmic, Ghost Rider became Cosmic Ghost Rider.
The Marvel Legends Series is a Lower-Tier toy line that both collectors and non-collectors alike would be interested in. With multiple scales ranging from 4 inches to 12 inches and a good mix of detail and articulation, these figures tend to look good both inside and outside of the box.
Cosmic Ghost Rider is apart of what Hasbro is calling the ridder series, this line is made to give us fans some of our heroes and villains along with the vehicle or ride that they normally use.
