I went with Ghost Rider. Spidey looks too much a mess with those yellow arms.

I actually liked the Iron Spiderman, he has some nifty color combinations, and a metallic fleck which is always cool, but his pose is really gloppy looking. Like he is stuck in the arms, and not so much the arms being a part of him

The Ghost Rider sculpt just doesn't look as good as it could have been, and I think some cutesy eyes of some kind like little fire pupils would have been cool. The pose is playful though with moving arms and a whipping chain with fire on the end.

So really it's the kid in me versus the collector side of myself with this match up. I was a HUGE nut for the Toybiz marvel toys back in the 90's, and the Ghost Rider line didn't escape my grasp either. The one thing, to this day, I find to be a requirement for any Ghost Rider figure is a Glow in the Dark skull face. So if his face glows on this fig I'll vote for him. But I don't really want to vote for spidey either....sort of a toss up for me on this match. And I can't quite decide.

I went with the Rider.

Iron Spider does a better job with the source character. The Ghost Rider figure is just meh, which for a character as cool looking as that, is unforgiveable.

The skull head is actually fine, but the fire needs to be red/orange not yellow. I would be curious to know why they stayed away from red.

When is fire ever actually red? And at least in the comics, Ghost Rider's flame is yellow/orange nearly 100% of the time.

Also this Ghost Rider figure is the one that came with a bike, he's totally getting shorted here.

I like both of these figures in principal, they both look just fine in the photos. Having owned both of them though, i hate Iron Spider-Man's incredibly soft extra legs. They're made from that plastic that just takes on the shape of however it was crammed into the package, and the legs on mine are basically just tangled around him permanently, there's no way to ever get the figure to stand up. So i'm voting for Ghost Rider.

don't care much for either figure, all reasons previously stated are valid. i did vote for ghost rider in the end though because he at least has a cool weapon. had they chosen better values for spidey's coloring he may have got my vote.
