Also I was thinking since Ghost Rider is coming, maybe they'll finally release a 4 inch scale Ghostrider Bike.

The shield flying car seems likely. Ghost Rider made a 4inch scale bike with the first movie, but it was one of those weird rip cord or launcher things. It's a bitch to find, and now if you do it costs an arm and a leg. I was looking high and low for it when I realized it was out there. Hopefully though you're right and they'll do another, maybe even a bunch of the bikes. I'm not fond of the new movie's bike. It's just too bland. I liked the first movie's bike and would love to get my hands on a daniel ketch era GR bike.

The most we might get for the avengers line though in vehicles is that flying car, maybe a recolored wolverine movie bike, so other vehicles repainted, and possibly the shield helicarrier from SHS repainted. I do hope they go all out and give us a shield helicarrier that opens up into the triskellion, but I doubt it.

I am digging that avengers movie captain america though. So far he might be the only one I buy from that line unless they show off some more, and have some comic series figures. I'm expecting minimum at least a hawkeye and black widow in the line as well as nick fury. All three of those I'd buy in a heartbeat since I don't already have them. Thor and Ironman I've already picked out what I want for my movie avengers team.

I know all that I just want it to say Scarlet Spider. He doesn't look like Spider-man! Anyone who doesn't know this that then looks at my collection will be like "When did Spider-man wear that?" It happened before with Spider-man 2099 you see... anyway at least I have the figure

The variant stands are just hasbro having some fun because they want to nod the comic stories. You don't have to like it, but it is a nice nod and speaks directly to the fans of the comics on purpose. Personally I like the little touches like that, and Namor's Imperious Rex on his. It's just neat seeing how much love of the line the team has that makes them. It's a nice personal touch. As for Spidey 2099, well he is spider-man, just of the year 2099.

And it's not so much that peter and ben thought Ben was spider-man, he was intended to be so if the sales hadn't slumped so bad. They retconned the story and brought peter back because of that. BND is the second answer to the problem they were trying to fix. That of the marriage. Originally the ben reilly spider-man was supposed to be the way to make spider-man single again while still giving peter parker his happily ever after. Instead... well yeah.

As for Iron Patriot, I do hope they make a variant stand of him that says norman osborn. Maybe not Green Goblin unless they do the variant of him from the end of siege where the mask is stuck to his face.
