[Indiana Fett]

A few updates and info from Toyfare magazine (from joeghostbuster/GBfans.com)
CHeck the 12" body Mattel is developing, looks pretty good actually!!

[teabelly83]

I'd love to get a few of those bodies to work with!!

 

[teabelly83]

i aint bought anything fromthe mattyscollector store, do they ship internationaly. and when these gb 6 and 12 inch figs are ready to preorder or instock, do/will they send out confirmation emails to say they got them in??

i joined the mailing list but never had anything frm them yet.

That 12" base body looks pretty good.

That 12" base body looks pretty good.

Yep, let's hope it turns out nice in production!

Wow! The 12" body looks pretty good. If it turns out anything like it looks, it could give the TrueType and Prometheus a run for their money (especially the Pro if the joints are tight on the Matty body).

I'd be more psyched if HotToys got this instead.

 

[bonedaddy77]

of course if Hot Toys were doing these it'd be more than twice the cost.

I'm primarily a PF and Bust kind of guy but might have to grab these 12"ers. I loved the Ghostbusters and had all the figures when I was a kid.

 

[antimatter]

Yup. True. But i know it'll be worth every penny.

The sculpt would be much better for sure.

As much as I'd like HT to tackle this,
I don't see it happening any time soon...

A few tidbits from an Art Azylum Q&A regarding the minimates:

Hi, have you guys set the date when the Ghostbusters minimates might be available??? Hopefully is sooner that later !!!

DSTChuck: We’re going as fast as we can and hope to have some on sale by the time SDCC rolls around. It might be right down to the wire though.

I read the post about making Ghostbusters minimates, but you only mention Venkman and Spengler. Do you plan on making all 4 Ghostbusters?

DSTChuck: YES. We will make all four ‘busters as well as MANY ghosts.

Hot Toys usually only works on current hot properties and not old stuff. They did make Planet of the Apes though, so anything is possible.

Not true...
they've done Alien, Aliens, Predator, Predator 2, Rocky 1 thru 4, Rambo 1 thru 3, RoboCop, Godfather, and the M Icons figures just to name a few...
They could do it, but I don't think they'll do it soon... I'm thinking Sony is just testing the waters with Mattel and Art Asylum...

Weird choice of a pair up... I'd rather have Venkman with Slimer...
but looks cool nonetheless!!

 

[Memnoch]

Means they didnt get Bill Murray's approval yet.

Yeah I guess...
I read on a Q&A with Mattel that they've already sent tests for approval...
it's happening, just a matter of when!!...

 

[teabelly83]

thats kick arse!! i actually like iot aha. yeah i did read about them releasing slimer with whichever gbuster they finished 1st. so it could have been any1, so with them not having murrays approvel yet, thats delayed his fig being produced.

i do like this tho, i like the slimed spengler look.
