Awwww man. Well, I guess that means I just have more room to go deeper in the line then. 1/6 would have been glorious.
I’m all in for these. Don’t care that they are 1/12. Just means more room for more figures lol
Actually I think these were the highlight of Comic Con for me.
Yow, really?
I mean, I’m glad that someone is making them. But that price makes me miss the statue set that Chronicle never got to release even more now.
ebor
Super Freak
Mondo gonna Mondo…
Yeah I saw that.
Well least there will be a ghostbuster and two ghosts (large and a small) in each set.

Yeah, I saw that each 'Buster was bundled with a ghost, each ghost being larger than the Buster itself, and I was rather confused as to why it would be 1/6. That would be huge, and expensive. Them actually being 1/12 makes more sense.
Yeah I guess that's the reason, they wanted to do some ghosts too so 1/12 was more practical. Still, I wonder if they'd ever do 1/6 limited editions of the guys. Maybe an Ecto-1 is a possibility now.
If true, that's a big loooooooooool! It just shows how overpriced they are. I'd put the figures in Super 7's range in terms of quality and for 1 figure, it's priced at 50.
They're also going to release them as single Ghostbusters if you just want the 4 guys. I don't think they've mentioned how much those will be but likely a bit more than half that.
So 100 plus and the ghosts are valued at close to a 100? Still way overpriced for what you would get. Their biggest draws are x-men 97 and btas and I get it since nobody else is making them in 12 inch format. But what I don't get is how people cannot see the value for the price is just not there and it's more evident in a 1/12 lineup if the price is really what's being speculated. I also feel their 24 hour timer for exclusives is predatory FOMO tactic.

They probably think the 1/6 go for $200, so half scale = half price x2 figures = $200.
I hear you about the limited tactic, although timed is better than edition size. I despise manufactured scarcity.
Mondo is an overpriced company, i wasn't even expecting these to be cheap. They've basically been selling 1/6 scale Marvel Legends (not even Mafex quality) for 250 dollars. I own Wolverine from them, and it has some QC paint issues. Considering the price, the value isn't really good but they are the only company in the market that does 1/6 scale animated figures so no other choice.
