Nope, and not even any batteries at all actually.

Really? They came with no batteries? That's weird, and unfair.

One more reason I'm happy to have bought my Venkman used -- came filled with fresh batteries and ready to go.

Yep, it was super weird.

I had forgotten all about them not coming with batteries by the time mine arrived, so nothing like setting an evening aside to break open the box of figures and then realizing I wouldn’t even be able to light them up until I took a trip to the store the next day.

Yeah... I remember that happening a lot as a kid on Christmas. Parents never remembered the damn batteries, especially grandparents.

I picked up four extra packs for Ecto-1 when they 1st came out and were being parted out cheap. I figured i'm spending an insane amount of money on the figures and car might as well go all out.

Thanks! I still haven't unboxed my set yet and all of a sudden panicked that there may be damage.

Hahaha, it was odd, but known before hand.

Bought 150 of the batteries for 9 bucks so I can forgive them.

Smart move. If I didn’t PO it, almost every figure I get on the secondary market is pre-owned. Especially with these particular figures. There’s too much that can possibly be wrong with them, given all the accessories they have. I’d prefer confirmation that all is ship shape, or at least 90%, given it’s something I could just fix myself or don’t really care about to begin with.

And yeah, at this like, I’d be real surprised if SS releases their versions at all. Been about two years, and no word. Nothing. I actually think BW’s Spengler sculpt edges out SS’s anyway, so even without uniformity’s sake, I genuinely thinks that’s the better one regardless.

SS will release these- they are probably held back because of a license release timeframe- they do amazing work. These will be great but in a different way than BW's great

 

[SilverStar17]

I think there will simply be components of them that are good, but as an overall figure, I think BW will be the more desireable ones. Not to mention they have a full set, whereas SS just has the two.

Based on the proto pictures for the SS ones, I do like the packs and their catheter hoses better.

Back when all the toys ran on gigantic D-cell batteries. Sorry Billy, Grandma forgot and all the stores are closed

There's a new rooted Ripley head out that could be a good base for a Dana Barrett / Zuul custom. Just needs some 80's makeup added. OneSixthKit has them in stock.

I started to do that with the HT Ripley but the size difference was ridiculous. That figure is undersized even next to HT figures. I might try again but i need a tall body for her to match the guys if anyone has any ideas.

 

[Marine Boy]

The HT Wonder Woman body would be good, as it is larger than most female bodies, and has seamless arms and legs. Tracking one down loose at a good price is the tricky bit.

 

[SilverStar17]

Also doesn’t help that in 1/6 scale, the height of these figures extrapolated would be like, 6’5”.

 

[subzro]

And HT Ripley would be like 5'. I'll look into the WW body and see how that sizes up with these guys

From Soldier Story:

“Hi Benjamin, we are planning this by 2018 sorry to keep you wait thanks.”

Good to hear it’s not canceled, but I really didn’t plan my $ around the delayed release.

I know not a lot of people care for GBII, but I always have. Working on some Lifegard II PASS alarms.

Looking good alice! The detail you're able to put into such a small scale is QUITE impressive!!

GBII may not be the better of the 2, but their gear in that movie is still awesome. Killer work on the lifeguard, that's insanely well done.
