We're way overthinking this. I present exhibits A and B:
All we need to do is misspell it and it'll be fine. Gohost Ridrl sounds good.

Depressingly, it's actually just one of the Skeleton Warriors guys trying to get by doing rideshare in the gig economy on a bicycle.

I’m not sure any of us REALLY appreciated how great the 90s were in regards to toys. 80s gave us the long lasting brands, 2000s gave us nostalgia redos….but the 90s gave us the REALLY weird jive we will never see outside of the online-only boutique lines.
The 90s didn't know what they wanted to be, and it was glorious.
Alas, the days of every action movie ever getting a toyline to sit on KB pegs for years after everyone forgot about it are long gone.
The best part was making toylines aimed at children for R-rated movies. I mean, forbidden things do draw interest but what were the toy company executives smoking?
Kenner got one crazy-big score over on everyone by gambling on Star Wars, then did all the wild jive ever with movie licenses, riding that high until they got eaten by Hasbro. (They weren't all the R-rated ones, but. They sure were a lot of them.)
It's amazing how many company stories end in "until they got eaten by Hasbro."
Well when you basically have two companies (Hasbro and Mattel) vying for the majority of the toy market in the West, it makes sense.
The only thing stopping Hasbro from getting bigger is that they’re completely under The Mouse’s thumb.
Now if only they could do something about Wizards of the Coast repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot.
At this point, it's part of their brand.
This is why I've started buying the certified autism cards.
I quit trading cards and I'd only buy video games based on the card games but even those are garbage. Just give me a few decent AI opponents and a handful of expansions. If I wanted to constantly buy new cards and fight meta all the the time, I'd just buy the actual cards.
