These are three different sized pins of the same design.
This label was attached to the ear-ring.
Notice the three logos that all appeared as Planet Studio pins - Midnight Sons, Ghost Rider and the Siege Of Darkness symbol
Ghost Rider
The first supernatural Ghost Rider is stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who, in order to save the life of his mentor, agreed to give his soul to "Satan" (later revealed to be an arch-demon named Mephisto). Instead, his soul bonded with the entity called Zarathos. When utilizing Zarathos' powers, Blaze's flesh is consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields trademark blasts of hellfire from his skeletal hands. He starred in the series from 1972 to 1983. Ghost Rider was co-created by Gary Friedrich.
The subsequent Ghost Rider series (1990–1998) featured Danny Ketch as a new Ghost Rider. After his sister was injured by a ninja gangster, Ketch came in contact with a motorcycle which had somehow been mystically enchanted to contain the essence of a "Spirit of Vengeance".
Johnny Blaze reappeared in this 1990s series as a supporting character. In mid-2000s comics, Blaze again became the Ghost Rider, succeeding Ketch.

Made in 1994. Planet pin #332. I believe this is the Ghost Rider 2099, but I could be wrong.
Made in 1993. Planet pin #B-11. This is a slighty bigger pin than normal pin, hence the one off inventory number.
Made in 1990. Planet pin #103. I believe this is the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider as appears different from the later skull's. Also look at the eye's - aren't they great!
Made in 1993. Planet pin #284.

Made in 1990. Planet pin #145. This is the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider who didn't appear till the 1st Issue of Ghost Rider in May 1990.

Made in 1992. Planet pin #259.
Made in 1993. Planet pin #283. Vengeance, like the Ghost Rider, is another Spirit of Vengeance sent down from Heaven to punish sinners - but a bit more hard-core and liking the pain. This is one of the pins that unless you know the characters, will have no idea who it is. I had this pin for six years before I found out.
Made in 1992. Planet pin #214. This pin has two types of base , zinc & copper. The zinc makes the white.. pinker? The image is based on the Ghost Rider / Wolverine / Punisher one-off comic "Hearts of Darkeness".
