Great customer service and he was really fast. I won't quote the exact price, as its better to PM the guy yourself. All i can say is it took him 2 weeks and i have it back in my hands. He showed me a pic of his own repainted Winston... and man... its only a matter of time !! I'm fortunate that i live in Hong Kong and so does he, so postal wise I don't have to be anxious if it will be lost in the mail shipping overseas. I hope you guys can find a great local painter wherever you guys are located to help you bring Venkman and Zeddmore back to life ! Egon and Ray came out great, i don't need custom glasses... rather use the money for repaint.
Those look great. I do have an extra Winston sculpt that i picked up to get repainted just have not got around to it yet. I would be less nervous sending a spare in the mail lol.

I was able to score the 3 docs but can't find Zeddemore anywhere... such amazing figs regardless though. Still look great as a set of three in a Detolf. Saw my friend's four pack and knew I needed to track the set down... I'll keep hunting for a Zeddemore but if not, I'm happy having the trio

Thanks. I think the trio is meant to be but I'll keep checking ebay for Zeddemore. I think you're right. I think they made Zeddemore's production numbers much smaller. Sucks but I'm glad to at lease finally have the docs now

I still think offering a 3-pack of Ghostbusters was a poor decision. There are four Ghostbusters, not three. Leaving out Winston from the set is a lame move.
It was four pack or nothing for me. Just wish they added Sigourney Weaver to the set

Amen to that. I love the four pack but having a Dana would have been great!

His part got minimized in the movie but I'm happy to have Winston with the rest. He still played a good part and had some good lines. I also like Ernie Hudson the dude in real life based on stuff I have read. I wouldn't mind having an Eddie Murphy sculpt for the lols.

LOL sarcasm at its finest ! Hell yeah ! Damn the company for giving options....
Its funny... i remember probably a few hundred pages back when people DID order the 3 pack instead of 4, some members were implying they were racist and people were justifying saying Winston just wasn't in the movie long enough or they will get him when he was on discount cuz he has clearance sale potential.

I don't understand why they'd give buyers the option of not buying the fourth Buster.
That's like offering someone 3 tires .... what are you going to do with 3 tires?
They might as well offer a 2-pack of Spengler and Stanz as well, if it was really about "options".

Obviously any real fan will pick the complete 4 Ghostbuster pack.
It came with the most extras (No Ghost sign, barricade, etc) and any Ghosthead would not consider anything less. Some might not see Winston as important as a 3 vs 4 tires scenario. Maybe closer to a manual vs power windows?
That being said, again... having options is a good thing.
Why the option? Money? Shelf Space? No interest in Winston? Alot of members choose the 3 pack OVER the 4 pack which means it was an appreciated gesture. If Winston is hard to find and people are regretting not ordering all 4 at the time of release, its not really Blitzway's fault. They sold him separately and as a 4 pack. Wasn't like "the only way to get Winston is order all 4" or nothing.

Nah, four pack would've been great but I'm happy with the three docs. Also, some people may only want Venkman or a lone Stantz. Nothing wrong with that. Some people may not have the money for more than one figure or two. It's not about being a "real" fan. Sometimes, it's about availability of a figure after it's sol out. Sometimes it's preference for a character. Sometimes it's about money. I say in this hobby do what ever makes you happy and what you can afford.
If I could only buy one of the three docs it would be Stantz. Because Dan is Canadian, as am I, and because he wrote Ghostbusters and without him we wouldn't have GB. If I only had a Stantz 1/6, I'd be happy. These figures are just that good. Still, I'm thrilled to have the three docs and maybe one day I'll be lucky to find a Zeddemore, but if not, it's cool. Enjoy the hobby guys
