New Ghostbusters Figures

[Wor-Gar]

More 1/6 at SDCC? That's interesting.

I'd like a 1/6 slimer and terror dog and Louis Tulley. But I suppose they'll go for GB2 as mentioned.

So far, they haven't re-released GB figures to my knowledge. But they have done this with DCUC and He-Man, so it is possible. I skipped out on Winston for some reason, and the eBay prices are pretty ridiculous.

Received my two Venky's today, and to my surprise, only one of them is slimed! The one without, only has a tiny bit on his head and thats it! The other one has got plenty of ectoplasmic snot on him, but he only has one pupil! Ah Matty quality control... Will post pics later today.

yeah, i saw on youtube a guy making a review on Walter Peck, and he had a chip paint on the face, looked terrible!

I finally got a chance to check my 6" Venkman today...
Great figure overall, love the gloves and untucked pants...
but, looks like it was done by a different factory... head in particular looks quite a bit different than the previous Busters...

New Slimer is OK, but I'm not sure having 2 in this scale is that great, considering there's a lot of other great ghosts that haven't been produced...

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

That's true, which one would have been cool to include? I was thinking maybe a library ghost or subway ghost would have been great as accessorie.... what do you guys think?

My Peter Venkman is supposed to be delivered here by U.P.S. tomorrow. I'll post my review and some pictures of it after I get it.

BTW, check this 1/6 custom head-sculpt... it's awesome!!!

Jezuz, Kuzeh! That's a great find!

I want that head! Love the expression.

I think he can hear you, Ray.

 

[Eamon]

Gotta say, I don't like that head at all.
Perfectly happy with the one we got thanks!

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

I think that head is great, i can hear him say "This chick is toasted!"

Yep, I loved it!!

I didn't see this posted here,
from AFI

Q4. When will we see figures of characters from Ghostbusters2?

A4. There will be six new 6” Ghostbuster Classic figures in 2011, quite a few will be movie two figures.

BTW...
Now that I have all 4 6" busters, I'm a bit disappointed that Peter's head looks huge compared to everyone else's... anybody noticed this?

That head sculpt is AWESOME Kuzeh! Are they for sale now? I'd really like to get one. Mattel's Venkman...is okay. But this one, and the one from spenser on this board are great!

 

[Eamon]

I think you guys need your eyes checked! I really do!


Bill Murry's eyes are not that shape, his head is much longer and square, his chin is much bigger and adifferent shape, his nose is not that shape, his ears are not that big and his pock marks are not that prominent.
Not to mention that it's quite a crude sculpt.

Each to the own but I do get baffled by how some folks see faces.
I haven't seen any costume that tops this. Yes it is a bit animated looking but that's the style they went for and I think it works really well.

 

[Kuzeh]

I can't find the pic this illustration is based on,
but I believe this is the exact expression on that custom head...

Similar to this one too:

 

[Eamon]

Not to sound like a jerk but that explains a lot as that's not a very good illustration of Peter Venkman.

Where's his jawline?
Murray has quite a good chin and it's not there in these.

 

[Deckard]

Got my two 6" Venkmans today!

I don't have any others to compare him to, but he's great and the paint apps are perfect on mine.
