Here is the second of four toy reviews of Jada Toys Die Cast line. The Ghost.

The presentation of the set is nicely done. The minifigs are cleary visible and the ghost is on full display. Even the background image can be seen.Below you can see how the seat is extendable for larger sized minifigs.The minifigs as seen below are well sculpted for their size. However they are rather plain in paint application. The grunt is a matte finish and makes it look dull and not exciting.Here is an example of how each of the two figs can fit in the seat. It did take some finagling to get them into position. The Grunt easier for me than the Elite.In fact as you can see from the below pic, I couldn’t get the Elite to sit right and it hovered over the seat. I know the joints for the hips are supposed to bend to allow for the fig to sit right, but they were so tight on my fig that I didn’t want to push it further less I break the minifig. The elbow joints wouldn’t properly articulate either. Shame. Still, it’s nice to have some form of articulation in such small figures.One thing I can definitely applaud JADA for is it’s attention to detail on the WHOLE vehicle. To often toy manfacturers skimp on the underside of vehicles thinking that people won’t look there. Or the majority of the time it’s not going to be seen so why bother. I’m glad JADA took the time to make the underside. Yeah, it might not be seen much, but when I want to show this to someone else, they can turn it over and be blown away by the detail.This set retails for about $11. It’s slightly larger than the mongoose set as it should be. Is it worth it? Well, that’s slightly debatable. The figs are comparable with one being larger than the spartans of the mongoose set and the other being smaller. So that leaves the vehicle. With not as many moving parts (4 wheels on the mongoose, versus the sliding seat) the only thing I can look to is the metal used and the paint job. Metal is about the same. While the paint job is fantastic, overall coverage is comparable to the mongoose. So I would have to say this is slightly overpriced. It could have easily been packaged in the same sized container as the Mongoose. Still, I recommend getting the set.
