[T-Squared]

Looks cool with the wand on the belt. I've got all 4 of em with it attached to the pack... So many possibilities with these guys.

Seems these guys take a lot more time setting up than the average 1/6 figure. This is why I'm waiting to open mine, want to have zero distractions. too busy over the next couple of weeks.

I guess I got lucky, I couldn't any QC issues with my 4 pack. I took my time inspecting each figure, didn't find anything. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

So I thought I ask here first for advice before I contact the shop that I order my 4-pack from as I've been having some issues with my 4-pack.

Was wondering if others that have the 4-pack have these issues:
1. Winston ghost trap cover color came out different? One trap door cover is bright yellow and the other is the normal color. Ray's came out fine and both covers are the same color.
2. Venkman's left shoulder is loose and when lifting it up it just flops but down and doesn't hold in place, both of Spengler's shoulder joints are loose and don't stay in place when lifted up.
3. Red glue like residue on the red wire on Winston's proton pack, this can't be removed as it's some sort of plastic glue material that's the same as the wires.
4. Some proton packs have some white fog like thing inside the blue led part of the proton pack while some are clear like Spengler's proton pack.
5. The proton pack on/off switch is crooked for 2 out of 4 proton packs, anyone able to fix this?
6. One beam attachment does not fit as the plastic is too narrow.

I can live with loose or broken attenea and proton gun tip coming off since that's an easy fix with glue, but the loose joints, off color of the ghost trap, plastic residue on the red wire of Winston's proton pack, and crooked on/off button on the proton packs really bothers me.

Edit: Forgot to mention that my Winston also came with duplicate gloves and no walkie talkie gloves. I think the 4-pack is one of my favorites, but with obvious QC flaws I feel very hesitatant to get the Ecto-1 especially at these price points.

Wowwwwwwww.... that sounds eerily similar to the issues I often have when I get figures through Sideshow. I legit have the worst luck. My friends always make fun of me and tell me I'm cursed. Most recently was Ripley had terrible wonk eye, so they replaced the sculpt. I spent a decent amount of time with my Ghostbusters because they just take a good amount of time to set up.... I didn't experience any of these issues you're having... ::knock on wood:: Lots of that would be totally unacceptable to me. Any chance of contacting Blitzway or the retailer and getting this sorted out? Unacceptable for a $900 purchase....

Anyone have any suggestions on who to go to to touch up the missing paint on my Ray head? It's just a small white spot on his hair.

If it's just a small spot, I'd try doing it yourself. His hair is one solid color mostly. It would be hard to mess up.

I'm sure I would find a way to ruin it.

I put the goggles on him and put some fabric I cut from a shirt to shield his paint from them.

Fantastic setup, Rambler! Love that Slimer.

I have roughly 80 figures in my collection, and I have probably only received defective figures less than I can count on one hand. However, I am a bit lenient with what I consider "defective". A lot of little minor stuff, I can look the other way and get over it, so I'm hoping my GB have nothing major. If say Winston has missing walkie talkie holding hands for instance, I couldn't care less because I know I will never be posing him with those hands.

That looks awesome!

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Awesome setup! Jeez, I can’t wait to get mine.

Man you're lucky this time lol. I didn't get mine through Sideshow, but from a local retailer that was the only few suppliers in my country. I really do love these figures as they're my childhood heroes growing up in the 80's (still are since I'm a big kid at heart hehe). But yeah this is the most I've dropped on this hobbie at one go and I paid more than $900 here, so it's definatley unacceptable for me. I'm really glad your set came out fine though. Seems like there are some of us that got the bad batches. I'm thinking it might be the 2nd batch as folks that are getting theirs in are experiencing similiar issues. I just hope Blitzway would just accept individual pieces for exchange/replacement instead of having to send in the whole pack in just to get a brand new replacement. Even with the replacement they might just send you the same batch and it might come in worst.

Thats a good idea. I’m gonna do that as well. I was gentle as hell putting those goggles on.

I love that slimer from Riggs!!!

That looks awesome!

Awesome setup! Jeez, I can’t wait to get mine.

thanks!!!! They were a lot of fun to put together.

@Silverstar17: Thanks. Only mod I needed to do was add a bent s-hook to the bottom of the thrower like the 1:1 props had. Pretty easy and really changes up the display options for each guy quite a bit.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Any places that have parted these out yet?

 

[RiggsMcClane]

Oh wow. I've been waiting to see my Slimer with guys since these were announced. Love it so much.

Sadly I wasn't able to nail down the three or four pack. Really wanted to compare the two slimers. Ive been able to get all four in singles though and they should be here next week.

Great pics Rambler!
