New Ghostbusters Figures

[teemu]

from toyguru's mouth

"We do have plans to re-release a non slimed version of Egon down the road, but it won't be anytime soon."

so your stuck buying the slimed version for now....they never mentioned a regular figure once till finally now

thanks for that, im happy with either 2b honest. wud have been better to do a regular egon and have a slimed venkman, altho they will prob do that aswel if the line is popular enough to carry on with variants and other characters like they planned

i jst read on mattycollectors facebook page that the slimed egon is the only1 so far, but they do plan on releasing an egon later unslimed with a PKE metre,

That's good news. Either way..."slimed" or "unslimed"...I'll buy them all!

mattel is going to botch this whole line i feel...I'm not really a surprise though, i wonder how they scored the line in the first place.

Actually anything done through their online store tends to do VERY well. Look at the MOTU line for example. Constant sell throughs and frenzy to get them.

Egon never got slimed. Only Vankman did.

Answer - Billy Murray didnt sign off yet but Ramis did, thus Slimed Egon.

Those glasses suck ass... ugh!!!
And the slime looks like pooh...
Other than that, looks great!!!

Oh and it sucks that they're not in scale with the Neca releases...

cool post kuzeh, yeah iagree, the glasses look way too big to me, either that or hes got a small head

il still wana get them tho. i wonder if the slime glows in the dark, if not be cool to customize it and paint over the slime spots with some glow in the dark paint.

Hey, if anyone out there gets to go to SDCC and goes by the Mattel booth, please take and post pictures here! I know we'd all love to see the new Ghostbusters figures from the SDCC for those of us who couldn't make it there. Thanks!

They only had 12" Egon and Ray
and 6" Egon and Ray...
a little disappointed there was no Peter or Winston...
Check the 12" GB thread...

Figured these would suck. It is Mattel after all.

 

[inked]

Lots of pics HERE guys and gals, including Venkman

Success. 6 minutes of Red Screen of Death, processing etc. until I got my order confirmation. The charge is already showing in my bank account and I definitely got the "order completed" screen but I don't see a confirmation email yet, which makes sense due to the volume on the website.

is this Egon the only way to get Slimer? I don't care much for a "BD" Egon if I'll eventually get the clean one later, but I don't wanna miss out on Slimer neither

 

[Kuzeh]

There might be other versions os Slimer and Egon, but not in the near future...
And honestly, I'm worried that this line won't have as much legs as MOTU...

it had better have the legs to get through all 4 ghostbusters...that's all i care about

 

[Skiman]

I don't think Ray's likeness is good at all but this did temp me this morning on the Matty site.

 

[theghostinside]

i really want all four ghostbusters, but i want the clean versions and i dont wanna miss out on slimer.....what to do, what to do???? i just dont wanna buy ray, winston, and venkman and then have to go back to get igon if they never make another one.
