I haven’t read the particular issues, but it would seem that Marvel chose to have both of their Ghost Riders running around at the same time (and at odds with each other).

I did a little digging for this review and discovered that the figure reviewed here represents Danny Ketch as he appeared in a handful of issues of the Ghost Rider book back in late 2008.* It gets a little more complicated than that, but I haven’t really kept up. Later Danny’s not Ghost Rider anymore, but Blaze becomes the Rider again. Blaze’s soul would eventually be freed from the deal and a second Ghost Rider, Danny Ketch, appeared on the scene after coming into contact with a mysterious talisman. I know the gist, Johnny Blaze sells his soul, becomes the Ghost Rider and has to act as Mephisto’s muscle here on Earth. If you’re not terribly familiar with Ghost Rider, I’m not really the person to come talk to. And going into this wave, I didn’t even know which version of Ghost Rider this figure even represented… The scrawny Wave VII figure was a great Johnny Blaze version and the earlier Wave III figure was a great Danny Ketch version. It’s not that I was Ghost-Rider’d-out, it was just that those two MLs were awesome. When it came to Ghost Rider, it was because I’ve already bought a lot of Ghost Rider figures! I had most of the 5″ line and two of the three Marvel Legends (both of which I would’ve loved to have come across in the toy cellar before this review). If you remember my Thor review from a couple weeks back, I was hesitant to buy some figures in this wave for a variety of reasons. Here’s Ghost Rider and you’ll find Constrictor conveniently to the right! I know we’d need a Thing Review to be a proper Two-In-One, but let’s overlook that and have some fun, alright? Terrax is complete, but I’ve still got two Marvel Legends reviews before him (not to mention MOTUCS, Joes, DCUCs…).
