Will Sideshow carry these? Definitely gonna need to flex these to actually afford them.

Strangely enough they are the same price if you pay for it directly from your own bank account.

Man. Feel like a kid again looking at these. Use to own the super old action figure of these guys.

I think it's safe to say this is the best Ghostbusters related stuff we've had this year. Wasn't there a crappy new movie out???...

So once again, my plans for saving up for an Iron Man go up in smoke (knowing that there will ALWAYS be an Iron Man coming up). Looks like it's these guys next year! Woo hoo!

Egon's face looks a little too "smushed" here but the rest of them look great! Definitely in for Venkman but I might be tempted to get the rest depending on price and availability.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

They look great but as much as I want them I have a feeling price might hold me back from getting these. There's simply too many other things coming out of this year's SDCC that some stuff won't make the cut. If they're $250 or more each I'll definitely be passing.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Ehm... Aykroyd is terrible, Murray is kinda... nah... Ramis is passable, but not getting him, Hudson is spot-freaking on, he is so good it is scary, but not getting him either.
Only wanted Aykroyd and Murray and I think SS did a better Murray... Aykroyd needs a lot of work.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Probably the most expensive SDCC ever.

I can't remember an event when so many figures were shown that I wanted.

I've made a list.

And it's a looong list!



With these Blitzway Ghostbusters, as good as they are, they don't quite match my anticipation. But I think the anticipation was too exaggerated to begin with, and too much for them to live up to.

Maybe they will have second, less serious sculpts?

Yeah, I like them overall, but... except Winston, they all look slightly odd. Venkman captures Murray, but at the same time doesn't for some reason. And if one of them was going to have an expression, it should have been Venkman, but he's so stoic.

The dour expressions on Egon and Ray are like a lot of attempts at expressions in 1/6... not quite working. I kinda like them (I love that they tried something other than the HT dead stare) but don't love them, even if the underlying likenesses are decent.

Maybe it was the over-anticipation thing. Overall, very nice effort and interested to see how these turn out.

Woohoo! These are fantastic!!

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

I think the sculpts were very clearly tailored for the proton pack poses. I'm not 100% sold on Egon's expression but as far as likeness to the actors goes, they're faultless.

 

[jespernicolaj]

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Compared to their Tyler Durden, I think only Hudson is close to being as good. I hope they make a second (and better) head for Venkman with a more expressed HS.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

sculpts for all look excellent. winston is probably the least accurate but still solid. depending on the prices, i'm getting egon then ray (in that order). then the rest of my money will be saved for the ecto-1, assuming they actually produce it.

wanna see proper shots of the proton packs though.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Looks like I'm in for these guys. Of course they could be $300 a piece and that will halt any impulse to buy. But if the price is right, the Ghostbusters are just too iconic characters to pass up when they look this good. Wouldn't mind a few tweaks on the sculpts here and there but overall I think this is going to be an awesome display. And costly.

 

[cmiller99]

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

I think they won't be above $250, although we haven't seen a whole lot of accessories yet. No PKE meters... more accessories could still be announced when they are put up for order.

Hopefully the number of proton packs they're going to have to make brings down the price of that element a bit, so that won't boost the price too much.

Does Egon have the P.K.E Meter?

 

[cmiller99]

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

It's not pictured there, unless its on his toolbelt and I can't see it on my phone screen.

I haven't seen it in any pictures. Doesn't mean we won't get it. Blitzway does love their accessories.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Hmmm..they all look good but not great. Like others are saying, the expressions are too serious and the likenesses are ever so slightly off on each. I don't like Ray's hair color. Looks too brown, I think it was a bit darker in the film. Egon's hair shape doesn't look quite right. Solider Story did his hair better. I think Winston's eyes are too dark, you can't see the whites in it as easily as you can the actual actor. Peter overall looks the best, but like others have said, he should probably be the one with an lighter expression. Or Ray, Ray looks way too serious.

Price will be the determining factor for me. I won't pay over 250 a piece and even then, I may not be able to afford all 4. No matter what happens, I'm in for at least one, I just have to decide which of the 4 I want the most.

I like the cigarettes on Ray and Peter. Hope Winston has one too.

Re: Blitzway - 1/6 & 1/12 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1

Its interesting how its so divided on which sculpts hit the spot. It seems there is no consensus, which I suppose speaks volumes on how solid they are.

Some are saying Winston and Egon are perfect, while others are saying they are weakest.
