Kind of endeared itself to me!

The Ghost Driver is awesome and I hope it'll eventually also be on the list of things you've warmed up to when it comes to Ghost. I think something that goes a little underappreciated about it – both as a toy and on-screen – is just how physical it is? Like, the gimmick isn't more complicated than the DecaDriver, sure, but it's a whole lot more visceral; flipping that bulky cover down, popping an Eyecon in, and then slamming it closed, followed by smashing the big honkin' lever on the side both out and in. Like, I don't wanna diss the Gamer Driver or anything, because that's a belt I'm also quite fond of, but I honestly believe there are areas where it just can't compete.

(I do think it's hilarious how glaringly squished the stunt versions the suit actors wear in the show are though. I remember Drive being that way too, but it's just really amusing to imagine the people making the show immediately realizing "yeaaah, this isn't going to work as is.")

Anyways, please excuse me for jumping to the defense of Ghost so shamelessly and predictably before thinking to say congrats on keeping that sweet collection of OOO items coming along. It's looking pretty good!
