New Ghostbusters Figures

[Darklord Dave]

Wait, they're in stock? This isn't a pre-order for something that's 6 months away?

I don't think I can wrap my head around that.

Has Mattel announced whether they plan on doing Winston in 1:6? I would certainly hope so, but if they are not I hope they own up to it soon so we can buy an extra 1:6 Ray or Egon for their gear; I expect 1:6 Peter might actually sell through much more quickly.

Edit: It just occurred to me that they'll probably do 1:6 Winston before 1:6 Peter anyway if they're planning on making him, so my question may be moot.

They are doing a 12 inch Winston. There was a prototype at SDCC, I believe.

Yes, they are doing ALL 4! All were on display at SDCC.

Good deal. The question IS moot.

 

[JRSly]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways...

The equipment for the 12" figures looks really good.

The 6" figures really could have used some more detailing on theirs. They're pretty plain.

What kind of details could be added, in your opinion?

 

[Wor-Gar]

So if Ray's "unique item" is the goggles...

And Egon's is the PKE meter...

What's Peter's? Not just that walkie that comes with all of them as seen in the group shot.

What would be good for him?

They actually made it so I can't post even though I don't show up as banned.

All because people couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that I wasn't crazy about "The Dark Knight".

I was full-on banned from moviemaniacs.net for negative TDK comments as well.

man i know exactly how you feel. seems that many, not ALL, but many TDK fans simply wont tolerate any negativity towards "their" film, even a little. its quite crazy. i got banned from SSH for the same thing, and i even said how i liked it but certain things i didnt like and man ppl at SSH and BOF, even IMDB, those ppl are nutjobs i swear. so i know where your comin from, its so weird.

I think Peter's is the 'extra' slimed head. You can see it on the post in front of him in the SDCC photo.

Not sure what Winston's 'unique item' is though?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that now.

I'm not getting Winston so... there...

But I'd get a Terror Dog, Louis Tully or Slimer.

 

[Kuzeh]

That fast! Wow, terrific.

Do you know where they ship from? I'm in Los Angeles. Maybe I could get this guy as early as Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

Ontario, California...
you'll get it fast!

Well, they were first announced during NY ComicCon,
so for us GB fans, it's been an 8 month wait actually...

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that now.

Heresy... Winston is a must!!!

 

[ProgMatinee]

just ordered. if I don't like the quality I won't bother on the rest.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, core only for me. Trio works better for me. Things are funny in threes... 4 is superfluous.

Thanks for the update on location BTW. Now I'll be pining for that shipping notice.

 

[EVILFACE]

Are they worth 60 bucks?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Are they worth 60 bucks?

Good question? I hope to know very soon.

But the pack and gear alone seem worth the cost if you gotta have a Ghostbuster.

Don't get me wrong Greg, I know what you're saying about displaying in 3's (the 3 Iron Man's, 3 Stormtroopers, 3 Sandtroopers, etc.), but the GHOSTBUSTERS must be the 4 IMO! Then you can display them like this:

for a second i had thought that was a picture of the figures.

Good thing it wasnt though, cause it might of pushed me over the edge on getting them.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I knew this was coming.

I know, sacrilege on my part. But I want to emulate the poster with the three of them.

Anyway, if I can have a shelf without the droids and Bishop and Gimli and Scarecrow, etc, etc, then I can have a shelf without Winston.
