Ghostbuster - Ray 12"

[Wor-Gar]

On ebay. Not worth the price, but since so many have been asking for a Ghostbuster here, I figured I'd post it...

The slime on the boots is a nice touch, but it looks more like fat Dan Akroyd, when he was a caricature of himself. You know, "Nothing But Trouble" or "Great Outdoors" Dan, when he just ballooned.

Not bad, but not $300 good either. Seems like I've seen that figure somewhere before though. Is it a custom thats been shown before?

 

[The Craw]

i would never get 1 without the other 3 anyway. nice proton pack though.

 

[amarcord]

Isn't that a Andgor sculpt he used?

 

[yruh8n]

As far as I was able to find out Andgor only did Bill Murray from Ghostbusters. I inquired several times if they were ever going to do the other three, and there was a plan to do the rest. I gave up trying to find out if it ever happened. I saw the Andgor proton pack at a convention in Chicago, and that's not the same one (in the auction) as they had on the Venkman figure.

not bad, i am sure some of the guys or woman on here that can sculpt. could do a better job than andgor..the reason i say guys and woman. because i am sure there are ladies on here that can scuplt figures so there included.

Something about it does seem familiar. But I dunno.

About 4 years ago I saw an excellent Ray figure on ebay with perfect gear, even a light-up proton pack. It was supposed to have been made special for some Convention and was displayed on the cover of one of those magazines like Action Figure Digest. The sculpt was weak -- weaker than this one -- but this was 4 years ago and the outfit and gear was awesome. Even came with loose gloves, those crazy goggles, and a ghost-trap. I bid for it but gave up shortly after it crossed the $200 mark. I think it sold for somewhere between $350-$500 if I remember correctly.

With a new sculpt, that old figure would hold up today nicely.

That's a nice custom but you'd have to be a huge GB fan to plop down $300 for it. It does look familiar to me too.

Ok Guys tell me what price is right for this Figure

Edit: The head comes from a Ebay.com auction, and don´t forgett "or best offer"!

 

[Kuzeh]

Looks OK,
The best part is definetely the Proton pack, but not worth $300.00...for that price the headsculpt should be dead on!
I wish that with the upcoming game Hot Toys picks up the license...

 

[Tony]

I know the 300 $ is to much, but therefore i made a "or best offer" auction! And now make me your offers

 

[Scarlet]

Tony, Ray's yours? Awesome.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Figure looks good for a personal collection if you're the maker, but not good enough to sell IMO.

 

[Tony]

Yes it´s my Custom. But i want more SW Stuff, so i must sell some of my other Figures.

 

[sladesuperagent]

I agree with everyone else. Good sculpt, but a lil soft. Great pack, but I'd say $150 might be a better price. It's a hard sell b/c you need the other 3 guys--and I think most people rather have Murray first, then Ray and Egon and Winston.

 

[Ironman1188]

I believe the sculpt originates from a Blues Brothers 2000 Ackroyd head. The profile and sideburns match up pretty well.

 

[sladesuperagent]

Good call Ironman! That looks like where the sculpt is from to me. Sorry Tony, but that would lower the value/interest for me knowing that.

And was Jackie Gleason Mack? Geez, pretty bad when your Flintstones Movie sculpt is better than your 1/6 Blues Brothers Sculpt!

Its really nice work, what I would suggest is maybe making a run of these (similar to what Sovereign Studios has done) and offer them for sale. You could charge less per figure, but get a good amount of sales overall. I know I'd be interested in one of the price were lower.
