I only got dinged for $15.73 in duty fees this time around, so I'm guessing they reduced the declared value of the figure to something a little more reasonable. Still, that's a 25% increase on the cost of the figure, not counting shipping charges.

I got dinged the same. Ah well. Glad to have Egon to join Ray now. A few months until Venkman is out. Let the customizations begin!!!
Peeing...
Nobody really knows, they just go to the belt, though some people attach it to the gear...

ive got my custom egon head and body, just needs a bit of futzing and replacing the elbow pads to match ray and hes done. for some reason hes looking fatter than ray on the body ive given him so ill have to play around abit!
I put my Egon on a SS Buck body and my Ray on a HT TT body with the fat butt underwear from the Saturday Toys suit figure. These worked out pretty well even if I'm not a fan of the Buck otherwise
Egon is taller and skinnier.

Any pics of that mod? I'm doing the same thing.
Just got the last nude Qui-Gon figure they had at T.A. to use the tall Buck for Egon. the other three will be on TT's. Spencer's head set is with small_studios for the paint-up treatment...A lot of moving parts, but when all is said and done and complete sometime this summer, this will be an AWESOME set of 4 GB's in 1/6!!!

I like to think its in case they acidentially wet themselves when scared by ghosts.
They don't attach to anything, Peters can be seen flopping all around a few times in the movies.

I always assumed they were leftovers from their flightsuit origins. Probably used for pressurizing the suit during high-G maneuvers.

i noticed last night that my egon figure cant hold his neutron wand with his gloved hands. i cant get the handle into the hand that holds the pke meter.
for now egon has been replaced with my vartel peter head, the body i have suits him better, so for now that will do until i find a body suitable for egon

I finally opened my Egon, he came with his glasess un even. I don't know why they didn't paint his glasess black. Any way, its a total dissapointment. He looks as if he had no neck at all, he can't look up, his gloved hands are hard as a rock, it very hard to put the wand there, almoust as if it would break! The pack came with some minor problems. Oh well.... will have to customize him at some point.
Same problems here.
- no neck
- decals are very lose on the pack (already lost one)
- one little piece was even broken off the pack, I was able to reglue but hey thats not what I want...
- the pack was so bad put inside the package that the tube got a crack
All in all it could have been a nice second figure, but quality check failed. This was not what I intended to purchase. Hope the will do better with the next one.
BTW: It is a little sad that straps and suit do not match in colour to Ray. These guys are supposed to be a team and they wear all the same stuff. Guess I will have to switch the suit too...

Yeah, terrible, just terrible. Like when you look at him from a distance it looks cool, but when u take him with ur hands, all the flaws start to show off!

i just checked the decals on my proton pack and there were a couple hanging off! i also had a couple of problems with the straps on the pack but nothing too major. definately not as good as the rays in terms of qc
