New Ghostbusters Figures

[THX-182]

I have a hard time believing in a six inch figure scale Ecto-1. The six inch line sells better but they still linger for a while. Plus the six inchers can't remove proton packs so it would be tough to seat them inside.

They will probably just make a 1:18 scale which would be slightly larger than the 1:21 Scale one made by Joy Ride, kind of like the 1:18 Batmobiles and such that have Hot Wheels name on them...i don't see them making one for the figures.

Seems Stay Puft would be a better option for a large scale item to go along with the 6" figures.

I really don't know why Mattel is so afraid to offer a preorder type of thing for items...at least that way they will know what interest they have so as not to buy up a bunch of product that may or may not sell.

Mattel, so baffling.

Like it was said, Mattel won't even give us a Castle Grayskull for the far better selling MOTU line. They're not gonna do an Ecto-1.

I don't understand why you say "far better selling MOTU LINE" all of the ghostbusters are sold out, Peter sold out in 2 days which i think its ridiculos, i wanst able to purchase one because my cc was full at that time! Now i will have to pay ebay prices. I'm sooo mad at that!!!!

 

[Buttmunch]

MotUC sells out in 2 minutes. So yeah, far better selling.

Do you know how long the other figures lingered on the site before finally being listed as "sold out"? Peter was likely produced in far less numbers and is by far the most popular GB of them all. Plus people were loving the likeness they thought they'd get.

Gettin my Venkman tommorrow, fingers crossed that it won't be a total waste!

Well, i didnt know the MOTU line sold out in 2 minutes, so yeah i slapped myself in tha face!!!! officially more popular than ghostbusters i'm afraid.

That's only in the small sliver that is the collector market. I honestly believe that, as a whole, GhostBusters is far more widely-known and thus more popular that MOTU.

 

[sigep756]

I'm a huge ghost-head, but MOTU is probably selling much better than the Ghostbusters line.

MOTU has figures released monthly, another monthly collector's club exclusive figure , and are doing extra offering like Battle-Cat and Weapons packs.

While I'd love more GB related stuff, I just haven't seen Mattel give that much energy to the line. In a year, they've released 3 6-inch figures (one a con exclusive) and 3 12-inch figures.

Got my Venkman last Saturday. I'm using Spenser's head sculpt and some other parts to improve him. The only thing I'm missing are AstroZombie's screen accurate elbow pads.

 

[JediMike71]

Awesome! Your Venkman looks so great with Spenser's custom head sculpt! I want to get one of Spenser's Venkman head sculpts someday soon. My Venkman should arrive from Matty later on today.

 

[Darren Carnall]

so is venkman 12" sold out now? dammit

what's the point in having ray and egon for future customising if I don't have venkman

 

[Jediguy]

Why is egon so much higher priced than the other 2? I was thinking of buying 4 venkmans to convert into the 4 of them

 

[Batfreak]

i heavily doubt mattel will make a "large" state puft or a scaled ecto-1. the line is online only and frankly im surprised we're getting what we are getting already. honestly, it doesnt bother me that much since i have a decent scaled version of each already so i dont think its priority for me. what i DO hope they make is viggo the carpathian, a better gozer and the smaller scale ghosts. and i would love if they made GB 2 ghosbusters with the dark suits and slimeblowers as well

Nice job man, bravo. Where'd you get that black undershirt? The collar looks very well scaled. Let us freaks know! Thanks.

You might be right on this one...
my 8 y.o. nephew knew about Ghostbusters before MOTU, without me talking about them.

Some GB is better than none!
I'm actually really happy with all the GB stuff recently released, the Video Game with Amazon Exclusives, Mattel figs, Minimates, the RGB DVD, Stay Puft Banks and No-Ghost logo bank, and more stuff coming!!

Awesome work Eddy!!! !
Did you paint it? Looks really nice!!

They might eventually re-release them... but check Ebay, they might still have some at decent prices...

It's hard to tell, but my guess is that, at the time it was a much better looking figure than Ray, so, maybe less people are re-selling it?...

Yes!! GB2 figures is a must!!!
I also hope we see more of the classic ghosts, like the Taxi-cab skeleton, the Subway ghost, The Scolari Bros. and from RGB Boogieman, Sandman and Samhain at least!

That looks effin' stupendous!!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Beautiful Commtech!

Looks like you replaced the head + body and t-shirt and belt. Is everything else Mattel? Did you replace the boots as well?

How come you didn't hang the molded gloves on his belt?

 

[Commtech]

Thanks guys, I'm happy I'm almost done with him. Just waiting for Astro Zombie's elbow pads and I will also retouch the face and eyes a bit.

Nice job man, bravo. Where'd you get that black undershirt? The collar looks very well scaled. Let us freaks know! Thanks.

Hi: I honestly don't remember. I just grabbed it from my parts bin. I'm pretty sure it's from a parted Hot Toys figure from Toy Anxiety. Just remember that to pull it off with a low neck, you need to cover where the neck joint connects with some sculpey and then paint over it so it looks like one piece.

Awesome work Eddy!!! !
Did you paint it? Looks really nice!!

Thanks Kuzeh!
Yep, I painted it. It's the one that a while ago you said looked a bit pale but then I told you it was the lighting in the picture that made it look like that, remember?

Beautiful Commtech!

Yes, everything else is Mattel, except the boots which are DiD from the Che Guevara figure. I think Toy Anxiety still has them.
The elbow pads are temporary. They are from the T-600 endoskeleton figure.

I didn't hang the molded gloves becuase I like how it looks without them (I'm not selling them, though).
