Thanks! The Ghost figure is one I’ve been on the fence about, even though I’d like to have all the base forms of the riders. I seem to be clinging on to hope that it gets a renewal but it’s probably the least deserving of one.
At least I could get it in a cool show accurate pose with minimal effort; these Ghost figures seem easy to find |

I STILL argue the Ghost figures are decent, hindered yes, but they are quite nice figures in their own right.

I've never been able to find too much on how exactly their articulation is hindered and how bad it is. I know the parka limits it, but is it really that bad or in fact anymore than an actual parka would limit movement?

They definitely should be able to move more. |

Despite the ball joints being the same as any other Figuart, the entire torso almost cannot move at all. You can't do an ab crunch or arch the back. You can BARELY turn the waist. The parka is a harder plastic than what you'd expect, and it is also adhered to the torso in multiple spots. This pretty much makes the chest and stomach a single unit. Because of how they handled the hood, the figure actually has more articulation with the hood on than without it. With the hood down, the head articulation is basically hindered by a giant collar. The hands cannot be angled at all because the collars on the hands are absolutely MASSIVE. The shoulders are a bit weird at first, but it's not so bad if you just tuck in the extra parts into the torso if you want to get wider angles. No matter what, though, you cannot get the same angle most other Figuarts can, but I don't think any kind of engineering could have really saved it. Last edited by Chasing; 11-23-2020 at 06:40 PM.. |

Yes, I own Ghost and Spectre and the only issue is the parka and small neck peg in my opinion but other than that they look great in poses. The Ghost figuarts use the same legs as the Build figuarts. The Ghost figuarts is starting to go back up in price from what I seen on Mandarake....it's hovering around 5000 yen or more.

The Ghost figuarts are held back by the Parka paralyzing their torso, right? Wouldn't it be an easy fix to just cut the pegs that is connecting the Park to the torso so that the jacket just floats on the torso and help free up the ab crunch?

The waist also still barely turns even with the parka removed. Believe it or not, the parka isn't the sole perpetrator for the lack of articulation. It's as if the Ghost line was intentionally designed to have less articulation than other Figuarts. Grateful is an excellent figure, though. Last edited by Chasing; 11-23-2020 at 08:39 PM.. |
