(2099)Ghost Rider (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:2555
Name:(2099)Ghost Rider
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:Bob-A-Ferret  
Date Added:May 7, 2007
Base Figure:ML Sinister
Height:7.25 inches
This was easier than I thought it would be once I got started. ML Sinister is the base the head a movie Ghostrider magnets in the wrist make switching the hands to chain saw to cyber claws easy and fun. His chest is rubberbands and small links of plastic chain and the jacket is sculptied on.

As I am friends with the Creator of GhostRider2099 and WarMachine Len Kaminski I actually had him sign this custom on the souls of his feet and on the bike I made for this fig. And have put a pic of him signing it a free comic book day as part of one of the publisty stunts the store did.

For those of you who don't know here you go

Hacker, Kenshiro "Zero" Cochrane, was shot and facing death in Transverse City, after being hunted down for stealing information from the D/Monix corporation. As the poison from a flechette coursed through his body, Zero downloaded his mind into cyberspace, thus not allowing his pursuers access to the knowledge he had stolen.[1]

As he dies, Cochrane's mind is transmitted into cyberspace, then stored digitally by the artificial intelligences dwelling in a hidden section of cyberspaces known as the Ghostworks. The Ghostworks ask Zero to be their avatar to the real world, feeling his brash and rebellious attitude will make him the ideal candidate. Cochrane accepts and is downloaded into a robotic Cybertek 101 body. Due to his similarity to the 20th century superhero, the robot becomes known as the Ghost Rider.[1]

The Ghost Rider proceeds to avenge his own death and struggles against the plans of the D/Monix corporation, which leads to a confrontation with Zero's father, Harrison Cochrane. A loyal corporate servant, Harrison indirectly (but intentionally) caused his son's death.

Ghost Rider 2099 is a Cybertek 101 robot. The re-enforced carbon-steel silicon composite robotic body gave Ghost Rider superhuman strength, endurance and durability. Both hands were capable of transforming, the right hand into a ceramic graphite composite bladed chainsaw which burst with energy; and the left hand in to a polymimetic nanomer alloy claw, able to cut on a submolecular level. The robot also possessed a stealth system rendering Ghost Rider invisible to detection by both electronic systems and the naked eye; in addition, it possesses a "solidgram" camouflage system that could allow him to mimic the appearance of any individual (including Zero Cochrane), and create the illusion of his head being engulfed in flames. The robot also had optic lasers, and was capable of self-repairing.

During the series the robot body needs to be recharged on a relatively regular basis, especially after draining power to operate its weapons systems (in several stories this is used as a dramatic device, with the Ghost Rider struggling against a foe when his power supply is almost exhausted). However, in the final issue this becomes less of a problem, as Zero obtains a "Mr. Fusion" portable power generator. The same scene explains that the Ghostworks had previously blocked the Ghost Rider from thinking of this solution, as they did not wish to risk him becoming too independent.

Zero is an expert computer hacker and cybersurfer, able to force his way both in and out of almost any system. As a digital psyche, Zero could surf cyberspace, access information, and exist without food, water or other sustenance.

Ghost Rider rode a modified version of Zero Cochrane's original suped-up motorcycle [3], a Ford Velociraptor 900 with thrusters and anti-gravity propulsion.

I know your a fan of the horror Lwes but he also created Warmachine. His favorite projects are Morbius, Warmachine, and GR2099 he has a leather jacket that has Morbius's head on the back GR2099 on the left sleve and the right sleve has warmachine. Len is a huge fan and is planning his return to comic as we speak and you may see him return as soon as next year.

I am friends with Len Kaminski and I did a lot of research and asking his opinion. GR 2099 has no shirt well not at first anyway pre working for doom he had belts wrapping around his chest holding in his wiring. Later it was a shirt and as it was a hologram any discrepances are explained away as such according to Len same as his flames they where holographic and emitted heat but they weren't there. But this one took a lot of research cause being friends with Len means you have to do it perfect or you might hurt his feelings. And being I geek out with him while tossing back brews that would not be cool to do.
It's super cool that you're friends with him, because he wrote Morbius!!!! MORBIUS!! #1-8
And he wrote some HELLSTORM: PRINCE OF LIES too, and I really liked his run. Much better than Warren Ellis' IMO!!

Actually it only looks small in the photos it looks much better in person. I agree if the head is turned at all the big neck makes it look smaller. But I liked it I felt it kend of gave it an anime feel to it.

Been a few comments here about the head being puny and one in particular how this maybe isnt a decent figure because of that
This is more than a decent figure regardless of the head size - this is cool - especially with the interchangeable hands - that alone gave this a high mark from me in ingenuity stakes
Yes the head could be bigger but when you see Manga and yes even some Marvel comics drawings - theres been plenty of artists thats drawn characters with smaller heads and overdeveloped bodies
this is better than those - this is style over proportion
Kudos to the creator for a very cool piece of work

This is my favorite of the contest entries.
I really appriciate the details and it's obvious that you've studied reference pictures from the comics well. I'm making my own GR 2099, so I know the details, like the ripped jacket with a skull on the right shoulder and one on the back. The belts(?) he's got on as a shirt(???). THose alternate hands, and wires on his arms.
Very well done and kudos on choosing a great base figure. Had I thought of using Sinister, it would have been easier for me
