Marvel Comics Ghost Rider – The Original Ghost Rider (Exploding Ghostfire Chest) Action Figure (1996 ToyBiz)
For 90s Marvel collectors, the 1996 Toy Biz Ghost Rider 5" line sits at the crossroads of the Midnight Sons comics boom and the Ghost Rider animated series — a moment when Johnny Blaze and the Spirit of Vengeance were at peak cultural visibility. The Original Ghost Rider (Exploding Ghostfire Chest) represents the Johnny Blaze incarnation within a wave that also included Zarathos, Outcast, Exploding Ghost Rider, and Armored Blaze, making carded examples increasingly difficult to find nearly three decades on. The Ghost Rider/Midnight Sons corner of Marvel has remained notably underrepresented in modern collector lines, elevating the desirability of original vintage cards from this era.
This example is presented vintage carded (Item No. 52311, © 1996 Toy Biz). The card artwork is vibrant, with bold flame graphics and the prominent "Flame Glow Details" callout badge clearly visible. The bubble presents the figure — featuring glow-in-the-dark Flame Glow detailing and a push-button exploding ghostfire chest action — alongside his linkable chain accessory and a glow-detailed staff. Notably, the package includes a custom Marvel comic book, a standout feature that distinguished this line from its contemporaries. The card back carries the full Johnny Blaze character bio, exploding chest action diagram, full wave checklist, and cross-sell imagery for the Ghost Rider Flammin' Stunt Cycles and Spirits of Vengeance Cycles & Riders sets.
This piece is squarely aimed at the serious 90s Marvel collector or Midnight Sons enthusiast building a display-worthy representation of the era. The complete wave checklist on the card back doubles as a roadmap for set builders, and the card's rich, intact graphics make it a striking display piece. Few vintage examples from this wave surface with card art this vivid — a genuine time capsule from the supernatural peak of 90s Marvel.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.
