Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Me to! I switched my preorder on the Dr 3 pack to the full set a few days ago. Decided I had to get them all, these will likely be the pride and joy of my collection. Have Blitzway confirmed May? Last time I checked their website it still said February but obviously that't not happening.

When I received my delay email from timewalker toys, they said blitzway informed them it would be delayed until late april/early may. Most likey just a lazy Web developer over at blitzway.

haha that sure is lazy. Cant be difficult to update their own website.

May sounds good but is that when it's released in Hong Kong or when it actually reaches retailers like timewalker? It will take a little longer to get here to the UK. Hopefully early summer and not much later.

I'm going to guess June...since my birthday is then and it would add to the celebration.

I can stuff 6 full figures in 1 single detolf shelf and they don't look messy, it really depends how you place them and pair them with.

obviously if you put Joker & batman together they might not match well.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm failing to see how it's demonstrable Batman and Joker wouldn't be a good pairing?

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Think Blitzway is finding hard to get a Ecto-1 up to the standards we are all expecting after seeing their GB figures, the problem may be one in budget and to some degree all the operating features that collectors will expect in this scale..

After seeing the price tag for the HT Delorean, think it is quite possible the Ecto-1 must be around 850/950 plus shipping, this mean that tooling investment will be extreamly high and taking in consideration that most collectors that would buy this, already have pre-order or paid for the tree/four figure sets, and that alone is quite a big investment for most in a single year, Blitzway is taking the careful approach with the Ecto-1, they want it to be irresistible and magnificent...but also a profit success for the company, my humble opinion on why we haven't seen a pre-production prototype.

sorry i forgot to be specific. Jack Joker & 1989 Batman matches because Joker is in vivid clothing and Batman has that vivid yellows on him.

Bale Batman doesn't look good with Joker, because Bale Batman only has dull gold, and Joker is wearing dull vivid colors. This is why most people display their joker & batman separately. as you can see in the 2nd picture by Mr.Ecko. Dull colored figures don't stand out as much as vivid ones.

After seeing the fantastic custom diorama work being done by some freaks on the NECA TMNT thread I'm curious if anyone is thinking about trying anything similar for these guys when they get here. Way beyond my skill set sadly but loved what Blitzway were using when they had them displayed at the various comic cons. I'll probably just look for something to use as a background for them.

To be candid, I'm still not quite sure what you're talking about, as most people I've seen do generally display their Batmans and Jokers from the corresponding era next to one another.

they do because it's from the same movie? doest mean they look great. batman bale looks better with bane, joker probably looks better by himself.

Yeah I can't remember being this excited for a preorder! I also asked them if they had any photos of the packaging but they haven't replied yet. The Fight Club special pack that they did came in a pretty big box. The Special Pack must be huge!

April probably puts them in the U.S in June...but April for Asia.

Ah, same deal as Hot Toys then? So more like July/August for UK. That's taken the shine of it somewhat from my perspective. Still just seeing the box art, in hand pics and reviews will be cool.

Very true! Those first in hand pictures will really feel like Christmas morning!

Yep I got pretty crazy on the day that the first washed out Tyler Durden picture came out...ended up being my favorite figure of 2016...I shall practice restraint this time around.

June in the US is fine with me. April in the US would be better, but I'm in no rush. My customs are holding the fort down until then.
