Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures

[JacktheRipper]

So only Venkman and Stantz get two head sculpts? Stantz still looks angry.

 

[Wor-Gar]

EXCELLENT!!!

$380 per figure.

Magnetic stands?

 

[Bgnyc007]

I have the originals but not sure if I’m gonna get a 2.0 set.

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Other than the additional head sculpts everything looks the same.

For existing owners, it's a bit more of a kick in the balls to do straight re-releases with new headsculpts in my opinion. Straight rerelease, Ok, you can skip it. Complete upgrades, Ok, you can upgrade or stick with what you've got and have something distinctive either way. But that's something I would have bought the first time around, and after already shelling out $900 it's damn hard to justify buying them again. But we will see how they look. I'm not sure what they chose is how I would have handled a second Venkman.

Magnetic stands?

Anything is better than the 1.0 stands.

Those original stands were the absolute worst - could not get those metal brackets to remain upright.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Still oversized bodies with smallish heads, so no need to upgrade. Just try and get the heads parted out.

 

[Bgnyc007]

I’d buy the updated sculpts if they sold them.

I wonder if they just didn’t have the second sculpts for Egon and Winston ready for this show?

Despite that these are great figures. I have enjoyed them on display since day one, and am glad folks will have a chance if they missed the first time around. If any geek film and it's collectors deserve this kind of love it's this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm happy to have a chance.

Now to decide which detolf "cube" gets the ax to make room...?

Will the Blitzway 2.0 figures be in the $300 range?

If so, I might stick with the original Blitzway set and still keep the POs for Present Toys at $200 since the 2.0 is almost a straight reissues - I was going to put them in the Ecto-1.

Not sure if the paint applications are better from this distance and how different the second sculpts are. Odd that only Peter and Ray get alternate sculpts.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Will the Blitzway 2.0 figures be in the $300 range?

With Blitzway pricing...? That's a hard 'yes'.

Weren't they $285 as singles originally?

 

[karamazov80]

I think they were in the low to mid 200s initially. But since the development and tooling is largely done they probably could charge a bit less than $300 if they chose to. Having said that, they aren't doing this for charity and probably could get away with something closer to $350 each.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Adding the additional heads is a signal they want more money.

 

[chrisstbh]

Good looking figures. I wish I cared for the IP.

Winston's head still looks to be on the tiny side. Man, not only do I hate that I'll have to re-buy the whole set, but with inflation and the weaker Canadian dollar, the price tag is going to hurt a lot.

I could be wrong as I don’t have the originals but every sculpt minus maybe egon’s looks new to me
