New Ghostbusters Figures

[elvis1976]

actually I've been tired of that for some time now. People seem to compare everything to Hot Toys amazing quality... whilst forgetting that one thing might cost £50 and the other thing costs £150.

That means better materials, more time spent of costuming, more money paid for better sculptors... etc. Of course HT stuff looks better!

Not everyone can afford HT figures (I only have one so far, Robocop - and I got that in a sale for £50) - so lets accept what standards other lines and ranges are at, and acknowledge them for what they are within that price range

Enterbay is welcome to grab the license also. I think they'd do a nice high quality job too. I'm only on HT nutz b/c they make the most consistent high-end 1/6 movie collectibles in the world and they are more willing to take on big challenging licenses more than any other 1/6 company. Sorry if people can't spend the $$$ on great figures, but I don't (and never) have a problem paying for quality. Have you walked down the Barbie aisle lately? I wouldn't call any of the tailoring high end.

And I've waited my whole life for these figures, so, no, I not just willing to give Mattel "a shot" at making 4 decent figures from one of my fav films of all time. Mattel makes toys. If I'm buying 1/6 scale stuff, I want it from a company that is tested and this is not a license I want to see get less than stellar treatment.

There is an issue of relative expectations. In the mid-1990s, figures looking like the Mattel prototypes would have been pretty good, but it would be really hard for me to accept a sub-Sideshow quality 1/6 Ghostbusters figure (which is probably what we will get) at this point. I don't want Barbie or 12 inch Hasbro GI Joe level crap. Like Slade, this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I want to see the figures done right.

well. Have you SEEN the designs for the base body alone? Mattel is NOT being half-assed about this. Whole-assed at the very least.

 

[teabelly83]

yes despite what all you guys opinions are (and i respect all you guys), i am really looking forward to these. i think its such an exciting thing to look 4ward to having a set of OFFICIAL licensed gbuster figures in some cool window box packaging on my shelf!!

im still working on a custom set, but im looking 4ward to everything, the 12", smaller figs, minimates,kubricks, the ps3 game and blu ray

I just read that this month's Toyfare will be dedicated to Ghostbusters!!
So I'm sure lots of information will be available there!!

Can't wait!!!
That's funny cuz I haven't purchased the magazine in years!!

 

[JediMike71]

I'll be sure to buy that issue! I've got Toyfare off and on for over the last 10+ years.

 

[karamazov80]

Supposedly the Minimates were removed from the amazon.com set for some reason. Too bad, but good for me, as I don't need to get the amazon.com special edition anymore
