Ghostbusters: Spenser's sculpts

[jimjimmyjones85]

that would be awsome. rain coats and suits. hehe.

Probably what I will have to do. Might be cheaper than trying to put the entire busting outfit together.

I just ordered the BluRay so it will be fun to watch and take notes.

yeah id agree with craw, altho as the prototype figs showed afew faults in detail, using the outfits frm the mattel figs is cool if ur not bothered bout accuracy or as close to movie look as poss. i personaly got the outfits sorted already, well minus winston so he will hopefully be done soon as im a super gb geek so i wana try get as close as poss. i may use some details and stuff from the mattel figs tho when they come out.

i want acouple of each if i can, 1 to display in box, 1 to open and display posed and mayb another to strip down and use the parts from.

I honestly cant recall the price of Nicks packs but here is a quick comparison

This is Nicks pack painted up and built by me on my figure

This is Mattels (not final) figure

I think with a little bit of work mattel will have a pretty decent looking pack for their figures and it would be great for people on a budget! I think the figures are only gonna be 60 per.

Nice comparison jon, thanks for sticking that up!! yeah the mattel figs will be good for ppl who aint that gr8 at making up the figs frm scratch like myself as u knw hehe, or who like u said are on a budget.

wen i get the mattel figs i may very well use the packs, but if the outfit stays the same frm what we saw in the prototype pics, then iwouldnt use much else,i.e. the uniform etc. the uniform wasnt accurate enough for me, and the boots looked like plastic moulded, which i prefer leather boots.

but again it all comes down to what we can afford and our own tastes/choices.

it will be cool tho to see all the different gb customs popping up, and all will be slightly different!!

Thanks for this guys. This looks like it's really for me. Swap out the bodies and the heads and it will be WOW !

Great for a less than skilled guy like myself.

These will probably be around $30 retail you think ?

Not, the Mattel figures will be starting at $60 at least, according to what they've said previously.

 

[galactiboy]

Which for the gear (and hopefully decent outfits) $60 isn't a bad price at all. I will likely go this route rather than build a set from scratch.

Higher than I expected... But I think you guys are right... best way to get that kind of gear.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah definatly, they will look amazing with spensers sculpts. it will be cool tho to have a set with the mattel sculpts, as they will be totaly different to spensers!

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I just didn't know they would be that much. But is it true Mattel was releasing them in waves ? Or was that just the smaller ones ?

12" figures will be spaced out and released individually as well. Ray is scheduled for October '09

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

So one a month. Not bad. Will they be in stores or off the Matty website ?
