By the way, sorry to ask this, but i´m not familiar with the term MEGO SIZE, what does it mean?

Thanks

Mego is roughly an 8" scale figure, so smaller than the regular 1/6th scale, but larger than 1/12" scale...they were used a lot for superhero figures in the late 70s/early 80s.

Anyway, not worried about Nick not casting ALICE frames, but I'd still love to see a new trap and PKE meter kits from him

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

Wow, thanks Cryoguns, Nick´s trap is wonderfull. Here is a pic

And my Peter with the trap set to go....



He ain´t afraid of no ghost. hehhehe

Just on the odd chance this gentleman is really game, can one of you amigos post some decent pics of the PKE meter?

In case you really want to see and learn about the PKE meter check out Brent Kling's site chronicling the life and times of the "pke meter."

The above pictures were originally posted to the internet by him.

So can we officially have the Ada Bashing a closed topic please? We all agree that she has communication issues and has had a few sizing issues in the past, but we all agree also that Rick will handle any problems we have from here on out. This b.s. is beginning to derail this thread and, frankly, it's bumming me out a little. We have awesome pack sculpts coming from Nick and, with a few tweaks, a pretty decent Venkman sculpt. So if all you monkey lovers could please take your seats at the bitter table and shut your pie holes, that would be appreciated on my part.

And let's remember too that we're all getting a pretty fair deal for this stuff--from both Ada and Nick. And for those who have lost hundreds--that sucks, but this a GB custom thread, not a bash the artist thread.

i agree. how did all these guys find their way in here? i check this thread daily for updates and i dont want to have to sift through all that stuff to find the details. go start your own ada bashing thread if you want. ive seen about a dozen of her head sculpts on custom figures and they look great.



anyway, back to GBs. anybody see that Timelife is releasing the entire "real ghostbusters" cartoon series in a dvd collection this fall. if you order now you can even vote on the style of packaging they might use. here's some more details:https://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Real-Ghostbusters-Artwork-Voting/10110

Shut our pie holes?
Find their way in here?
Firstly:

Secondly: I've been "in here" since the beginning.
We're not bashing the artist, like you two are bashing us, we're pointing out from personal experience that caution should be exercised. I have plenty of Ada sculpts and truly hope that all of WST's transactions go well. But if you think all her sculpts look great then please look at the attachment of 4 sculpts, all by Ada, all supposedly 1:6 and ALL in different sizes.

Can I still join???

Hi everybody! As you can see I am completly new to the board. I came to this thread thanks to the thread on GB-Friends (Thx for the information by the way) I always wanted to own THE perfect GB-1/6-collection and I am simply impressed with the way this one seems to turn out overhere. Great respect to all the guys who are involved in this development process.

After I finished all my test at university I have the feeling to reward myself a little bit. So I took the day off and read the complete thread...

If somehow possible I would like to join each and every list (expect for the 1/6 Ecto).

I am simply amazed how Peter/Bill turned out and I definitly need all the other heads aswell. So pelease count me in as follows:

2 heads Peter
1 head Ray
1 head GBI Egon
1 head GBII Egon
2 heads Winston (Im looking forward to this)
1 head Louis

I read that the suits, Alice Packs etc. will be made. Does that mean we can actually get BOTH outfits from the same shop? :chew

If possible I would need all the clothes and proton packs (AWESOME WORK!) too. I would need 10 proton packs, 10 traps, 2 PKEs (they are not available now are they?). I guess the clothes are a bit to early to say I am interested but I definitly am.

I would be happy if someone could tell me how much I will have to pay and who I will have to send the money



If I can help at any stage I will happy to do so. A friend of mine is a very big seller of 1/6 accssoires. At the moment he is on vacation (2 weeks left) and I will be aswell so we will not meet for the next 3 weeks but maybe he could help us to get the night vision and small pieces such as walkie talkies, cigarettes, cables for the protonpacks etc. He has really tons of stuff (someone said he is the biggest seller in Europe), so I am quite confident he can help us...

Thx, Chris

So, WST, any news from Ada? (crickets)

So, WST, any news from Ada? (crickets)

Ada is generally pretty quick on a project, and I usually get the revisions within a week. I bet I'll get then this weekend (fingers crossed).

Also, can someone measure their 1:6 Alice pack for me and give me the measurements? Thanks guys!

 

[KingGrayskull]

Just a quick search on ebay for the T-Shirts the guys could wear under their suits. Wanted to share:

I really love this one.

I do like the idea of this one

The classic one

As I have some free time after my holiday I will try to find someone who is able to print small logos on 1/6 t-shirts... I will then post the results...

Dam I am too excited, PLEASE DONT TELL ME I AM TOO LATE TO ORDER!!!

Hi Chris,
Great to have you here! Welcome to our own little corner of the firehouse!
You can take the bunk in the corner, but try to limit the times you slide down the fire-pole to actual emergencies... we're Ghostbusters, man. Set an example.

No problem adding you to all the appropriate lists for everything.

Not sure what you mean by both "outfits", so let me answer the different ways I interpret that.

Both "Items"- (outfits and Alice packs), yeah. I'm planning on sending STOREROOM.COM the list of specifications and reference for the jumpsuits and equipment tonight. I told him most people might need freaking everything, so although we haven't gotten far enough to talk specifics yet, I suggested selling complete outfit sets as well as individual parted out pieces for those who need them.

"Both outfits"- GB1 and GB2 outfits?- technically, I am talking to him about just making just the GB1 outfits, but if we wanted some in other colors (GB2 and cartoon variations), that may be possible. I don't want to overwhelm him, but if I hear any expressed interest here from others, just give a shout out so I know how many people would be interested.

I'll post my list of specifications I'm hoping to send to him here on the forum tonight so you guys can correct or make additions to anything I say.

Chris- I'll send you a PM on cost and where we're at when I'm done with this post. :chew:chew

I will do my very best... Please dont be angry if I will be freakin out a bit more often (at least today)... Its just MAN WERE GETTING GHOSTBUSTERS!!! Look at the Pet-head, the proton pack! It is perfect! Neither Sideshow nor Hot Toys could have done better... :chew:chew

"Both outfits"- GB1 and GB2 outfits?-

That was it how it was meant to be... Just imagine how cool it would look... Oh wait we need the slime cannons (from the movie poster) then (again freaking out)...

FANTASTIC!!! :chew:chew:chew

I think I saw on one of the GB forums that Nick was considering doing slime cannons from GB II

After his traps and possible PKE, I hope

[Mastermind]

Is it too late to put myself down for four Proton packs, a Winston Zedemore head and a Ray Stantz head?

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

Alright gang, got the second batch of pics back from Ada of Peter. She did make his hair messy, but didn't go off any of the Ghostbuster pics I sent reference so still doesn't have actual Venkman hair. It's like messier STRIPES hair. Then while she did appear to make changes to his profile, she didn't send an actual straight-on profile pic. Nor did she send a pic showing scale. I'm writing her back for additional pics now. In the meantime, please critique!

Venkman hair reference I sent last time-

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

WOW, it´s like she haven´t seen the movie at all, or your pictures- Today in the morning i went to her site and saw those pics she send you, with the white square base on the head. I believe she doesn´t know or can´t tell the difference between the 2 characthers.. Ok, it´s the same actor, but in different roles. I don´t like that head at all, unfortunately. The face is ok, but the hair it´s not.

Maybe we can find a translator and put "change the hair to ghostbusters version pictured please" in japanese or korean..... so she can get it!

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

So I wrote her back and she said she was still going to take the pic with the head on the body, but needed to wait (till there was someone with her to hold the camera). I got it that pic this morning. All is good with the size!

So, where the hell is everybody? This place is deader than a Clay Aiken concert?

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

So looking at the second attempt by Ada now, I see two things I'd ask her for:
Pete seems to have lost the roundness on the tip of his nose in her adjustments. I'd like to try and get that back, and then have her work on the hair... again.

Thoughts?
