Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Great news! Hopefully they improve the new figures, especially Winston. Might have to get them this time.

I guess we'll see in a few days would be frustrating if they showed the old figures and no pre orders etc.

Better sculpts and better scaled. I'm all in.

I really can't do the PT or Star Ace ones.

The scale was the other thing that bugged me. Just looked too big next to any of my Hot Toys figures.

The announcement would line up with the 40th anniversary of the original film, but I also wonder if this is just a reaction to Star Ace and Present Toys.

I know BW has stated in the past that they don't reissue figures, so would it still count as a reissue if they release '84 figures with new bodies and new head sculpts?

On the other hand, I could also easily see them releasing a GB2 set. All the tooling is already done, aside from a slime blower, and they could use the existing suit patterns, with a darker colour fabric this time. Plus they can use the same Ecto-1 molds, with some new kibble attached to the roof panel.

Soldier Toys showed prototypes in their regular clothes. I suppose that's a possibility if they don't want to do Reissues as a matter of policy, though I don't know how well they would sell.

"We're ready to believe you" looks might be cool. Or maybe suits covered in marshmallow goo.

I remember those Soldier Toys went up for PO and being disappointed those were cancelled.

I think it was Egon and Peter in formal business suits but they came with proton packs.

IIRC, there were even protos shown at a con for the 2016 GBs - Chris Hemsworth and one of the SNL ladies.

Happy if it's a v2 of the Ghostbusters, bit sad because I've ordered few of the guys from the third parties, that cannot be cancelled. -__-

3rd parties GB figures can be used to create alternate poses/scenes and with different accessories. Also, you’ll have spare parts in case the Blitzway brake or go missing.

Or put the Ghostbusters 3rd party figures in the Ecto-1 vehicle.

I bought the Saturn Toys Batman/Robin specifically to seat in the Batmobile 66 (JazzInc) and to free up my Hot Toys duo for other poses.
