Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1
What was the DX04 fiasco?
What was the DX04 fiasco?
The people I've reached out to said multiple companies were trying to secure likeness rights to no avail. So it's a no go. It's best to kill all hope before it spills over to DX04 levels. That was quite the fiasco.
If true, then damn, that's sad to hear.
The boards were hyped for the next DX reveal. It was teased for a while by HT, the usual speculation thread popped up, then it was Bruce Lee. I love Bruce Lee but the thing is, everyone had their own idea of what they wanted the figure to be. It's hard to control but I hope people here have realistic expectations on the next figure from Blitzway. I'd love it to be Blade Runner, Deckard is a huge Grail, but it won't happen. The Blade Runner license is the textbook example of legal nightmare.

Halloween is another one
Spiderman seemed like it was never going to happen as a movie due to legal complexities but it got sorted out. You'd think with the new BR movie surely everyone would come together and classic BR figs could happen.
It's always a little weird when actors are resistant to granting likeness rights. What's the drawback? I mean, are they superstitious or something?
Hey a couple of hours ago I made a post about the Ghostbusters figures being up for preorder on my store and now it's gone. Did I break some sort of rule or something?
I don't want to repost if it's against any rules.
I don't know, it's weird. Do some have a complex about being represented as dolls? I guess that'd be it. It'd explain why someone like Jack Nicholson was so hard for HT to convince to sign his likeness to them for the DX08/14.
Yeah, I think you have to pay money if you want to sell stuff on here.
They're photographed and filmed so you'd think that "worried about my soul being stolen" superstitious concern would be off the table.
