New Ghostbusters Figures

[CAZAFANTASMA]

I agree with u all, and another thing that kind of aches my toes is that the handle of the gun is curved (kind of count dukuu light saver).
It wasn`t like that in the movie and when the gun is attached to the pack looks weird to me. BUT i will get this sun of a gun anyways cause it`s as good as it gets! COOOL

actually CAZAFANTASMA, i think it may be bent because that photo is a kind of 'prototype' fig taken for a review, i think! if u look at other pics of the figure and the pictures on the mattycollector site, you will see that the handle on the proton wand is NOT bent or curved in those pictures. so im hoping theres nothing to worry about.

Well, there is a review somewhere, i got the link from this threat, so the reviewer also complains about this fact... but like you sayed, let's hope it's a prototype thing.

Take care!

ah really, i didnt see a review that mentioned that. weird as like i said, in most of the pics iseen the handles look fine and straight. i hope they are.. 2b honest with mattel wanting to be as accurate as they cud be, why would they curve the handle of the proton wand when its not like that in the movie! so i dnt see why they would make it like that,.

The reviews also say the handle's soft, so hopefully you can pose it straightened out. The 6" wands are awfully soft, but look fine once you get them into correct position.

here is the review i was talking about, check it out!~

yeah if thats the case then hopefully the handle can be bent straight then. if it is bent when we take em out of the boxes.

There's no way Mattel is sending prototypes to reviewers.

These are most certainly production samples. They're fully packaged and are apparently of production-quality so they're almost certainly the exact same products we'll be receiving.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah agreed, then id say if the handles are bent when we get them, i jst hope they are easy enough to bend straight.

i'm just going with the 6 inchers...i don't feel like putting in the extra dough that it would take to make the 12 inchers look right

I think I agree with you, but GD am I tempted to try and pull this off. I still think that once a company gets in the door then the flood gates are open. Come on Hot Toys!!! I don't normally say "What if Hot Toys made..." but this is one exception.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah i think if hot toys or sideshow made these, the price wud sky rocket tho. but would be worth saving for if they were aamzing enough

Im sure peeps from the board will us their powers to make these figs look top notch. The sculpt, with a proper repaint, will lok good.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Eff it! We'll do it LIVE! I am just in for the 6 inch line. Sorry 12"ers you're good but not great.

yeah with spensers heads and some custom work they will look great enough. i jst cant wait for the mattel 12" figs so ican see the pack and trap etc close up.

after looking at the pics again tho and checking movie stills, the ecto goggles may need a repaint, the mattel goggles are too bright, theyt are more of a darker green in the movie.

[teabelly83]

thanks for that video. i like the lightup pack very cool.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That vid needs an editor!

 

[Kuzeh]

Wow, that proton pack is a beauty!!
Amazing!!
The body is interesting... specially the chest feature...
but I'll switch it to a TT...
I can't wait!! !

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

WOW, Thanks for that video! I touched myself.

That light up proton pack is less impressive than I was expecting. I figured the gun would light up and you'd get the firing sound. 4 blinking lights and no sound is a bit of a yawner.
