While it sucks to lose $2-3K of value, I'm hoping there is no reason for me to re-purchase the set, like improved face paint, or sculpt updates. Also, I wonder if they'll offer the same bundles again, or just release individual figures this time?

The man said "reissue"... so that sounds to me like the old molds used again.

There may be slight variations due to new materials or different paint apps, but I wouldn't expect major redos. As I said, I'm anticipating being able to still use my 6 year old Venkman with the new guys.

I forgot about Slimer. That's one more I need.

How dare you forgot that slimy green spud..

But to be honest, I recently got Dean Tolliver's 1/6 Slimer kit, and it looks waaaay better than Blitzway's Slimer.
Sure, you gotta paint and assemble it, but the likeness is much better and the size is bigger.
The only thing Blitzway's Slimer is more unique is because it's cast in translucent green.. so it has the transparent ghostly feel (although it looks like a jelly to me), and that it has articulations.

The paint application on their recent Cobain figure is really impressive. Even if these are straight re-issues, using the original molds, their production process has seemingly really improved in recent years, so I think these could look even better than the original release.

I think I'll settle for the undersized Blitzway version, just for ease sake. Assuming he's part of the reissue.

I hope so!

Both are good, so you'll be happy with the BW version.

Any chance @robbiethepainter is willing to do another run of Egon glasses if these get reissued?

The skin tone on the Winston could use a refresh on this reissue.

the original Blitzway complexion did not look right but at least they didn’t give him corn rows like the Star Ace Winston. :lol

Really glad I picked those up. They are tremendous. He also included a twinkie.

They were! Had them and ended up selling them when I sold my set. Made all the difference with Egon in my opinion.

Don’t know if it’s legit, but if it is reissues are real, and with 2 HS per characters

Why do first pics always look so ******

Brett Banner · Oct 1, 2024

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but Winston does look lighter there. Interesting that they are *not* showing them with the Ecto-1, so maybe no plans to reissue that.

Jbeltram4 · Oct 1, 2024

I’m glad they’re getting reissued for everyone who passed last time. It’d be nice to offer the new heads if those are updated, even if just new paint, for those who purchased the original set.

Special Packs mysteriously appearing on eBay all of a sudden

Would be funny if Winston ends up being the biggest seller this time, for all the people like me who missed out on him the first time.

Maybe. Those were some of the more easy glasses to make. I've been working on watch replacements too. If these go back up for sale, I'll for sure get those going.

Don't forget the Twinkie.

Would be interesting if they offered a head-sculpt upgrade set for original owners. Be nice to just pick up and swap, looking at you Winston.

Razorwing · Oct 1, 2024

Can't wait for more detailed pics. Definitely will be getting the set.

New headsculpts!
