New Ghostbusters Figures

[Darklord Dave]

Well, the Egon and Ray 2-up sculpts look pretty good IMO,
I hope they use the same sculpt for the 1/6 figures...

These are WAY too cartoony, although the likeness is there. Hopefully they'll go more realistic on the 1/6th.

Yes they are... I think the 4H have been sculpting too many cartoon figures for the past few years!!
But, I'd rather have these GB than no GB at all!!

Truth!

AWESOME!

And they seem to have no actor-likeniss-rights which is absolutly fine. Dont like the boots and elbow pads though but the rest is great. The 6" look great, would love to have the Slimer in 1/6 scale... Did anybody recognize the stand Slimer uses as 6"? it is from the old MotU toyline. Tri-Clops robot was originally on it.

Looks like Ray has been turned around a little... So we will get better shots of his front

Edit:

Looking at the pic Ray and Egon do not seem to have the same body as they seem to be different in height...

Not interested in the full plastic figures... but I'm really impressed with how nice they look.

And the shots of the 12" are great, the pack and trap look really well made.

i would think they may be slightly different body wise. hope so. pretty bad if they use the same body for all the guys, there different in shape and size as we all know.

This is the best picture they have:

Likeness sucks but great costume and accessories so far!
I'll definitely be buying these, but hope someone puts out better replacement head sculpts though.

Looking at these pics over and over again. Sure the 1/6 looks great but the pack seems to be a bit too small... Guess I will stay with the Nick-a-packs

yeah i agree, they do look rather smaller than expected, and the straps look painted on so im guessing u cant take the packs off the 6inchers. and i gotta agree with screamingmetal, the 12" sculp really isnt that good frm those pics. so 1 of chris h;s heads may be needed for a swap.

the detail on the trap is cool tho!!

either way ill be getting a set to keep boxed and id like to try get a set to open so ican customize aswel.

i also got a pack and trap set coming from nick, so cant wait for that to arrive.


also does any1 think the yellow hose on the 12" version is too long??

DAMN, Mattel!

this looks promising.

indeed it does

Really? I thought the Mattel pack looks really good. I doubt we'll get that degree of detail and subtle weathering on the final product though.

Still, with these you get the pack, the "gun", the trap with peddle, the little circuitboard thing-a-ma-doo on his belt, goggles, the clear tube, pretty much everything you need gear-wise. Depending on the final price, seems like good one-stop shopping.

I imagine Egon and Peter will come with their own unique items as well (like Ray's goggles).

Hopefully these will turn up good and end up doing well so we can see some DC figures get the same treatment.

Re: DAMN, Mattel!

By lookig at it again, I think the pose is not so flattering, almost like he is urinating against a tree.

Deck of cards with shapes, "couple of wavy lines," etc. for Peter, PKE meter for Egon.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I think these will be a great start for those of us too lazy/cheap to go the full custom route.
