New Ghostbusters Figures

[CAZAFANTASMA]

this site has some pretty cool ghostbuster head sculpts. theyr also appearing on ebay. i just bought a complete set to paint up while im waiting for ray

https://www.yourownhead.net/heads.html

Cool, please tell us how they look in person, and the quality of his work. That Ray could pass up as a GB II Ray, cause he looks kind of chubby doesn't he?

They don't look bad.

What made me suspicious about that site is that some heads are in 3d, they don't have the actual pic of the head....

That guy has a thread around here where he discusses those heads:

Does anybody else wish the 6 inch figures had gloves on instead of the bare hands? In both the hotel and the rooftop sequences they are wearing gloves.

You racist people are gonna pass on Winston, yet he has the best likeness??

haha, i was thinking that too.

im only gonna be getting the 6 inch "movie masters" style figures cuz that is the best scale for me. 12 inch is too big for me, only figures ive ever gotten in 12 inch scale was those hot toys TDK figures cuz they were too awsome.

Yeah ernie hudson went on to have quite a good career after gb.
Just thinking he doesn't look like he aged at all compared to akyrod or ramis. Bar the tint of white on his hair and tache he looks practically the same!

well you know what they say, black dont crack. and this is true, i think black ppl age better then most white ppl. you should see bill duke aka Mac from predator. LOOKS THE SAME!! even carl weathers aka apollo creed, looks great for his age. cant say the same for stallone, willis, etc. man, time like this i wish i was black, no joke!

oh yeah, in most of the times i remember they had gloves on. but that is such an easy fix, just get some black spraypaint or marker or something. thats what i plan to do.

btw, does anyone know whent he next 6 inch GB figure comes out on mattycollector.com? and how much are they gonna cost each?

LOL would have loved to see THAT.

The issue with Winston is that he doesn't show up until half-way through the movie, and he doesn't have as many memorable lines (though he has a couple) or scenes. Yeah, he is an important Ghostbuster, but I can see people not having the interest in him that they have for the others. He joins as an employee instead of a founder. He wasn't even on the main poster released for the film. Wouldn't matter if it was a white guy in his position, he just isn't as important or memorable as the others.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I'm not a diehard GB fan, but Winston is needed to make the set complete. Even if you're not well-versed in all things GB you know there's another member. And, you know he ain't white.

Yeah winston actually does have the best likeness imo of all the 4 characters on the 12 inch figures being released by mattel. So yeah its a definite. The one that looks least like the 4 is ray with egon a close second. Egon looks like he aged to about 60 - 70 years old with the matty sculpt. Too many lines on his face, a thinner face then harold ramis had in the movies, a huge nose for some reason?(same with 6 inch figure) and sagging cheeks just makes it very inaccurate.

yeh i wasnt too sure about ray at first, definately more of a gb2 sculpt, but it looks so much better than mattels version i thought id get the set. egon and venkman look great imo.

but ill post pics when i get the heads and after i've painted up ray. he'll be the first for obvious reasons! i dont claim to be a great painter as i've only done a few heads for my sideshow indiana jones's (which got me into the 1/6 world, but im too addicted now to stop)

 

[teabelly83]

im already counting down until 15th dec lol..guna be another expensive day lol. 12" egon and 6" winston

Ah, I remember the old days. When $100 or so spent on toys was an "expensive day." Memories. . .

ahah i knw. altho for me ithought this last orde was fairly reasonable, but the quality isnt a good as hot toys etc. but for 2 12" and 2 6" gb figs $182 or so shipped to me in the uk was pretty gud ithought

I dunno the quality bar the headsculpt is looking awesome. Look at the detail on the accessories! Anyone familiar with the specific details on the proton packs, traps etc will know they minaturised these to perfection. Even the coloured cable lead on the back of the proton pack with warning signs in blue is there if you look real close! I can even see the power meter on the neutrona wand. Man i cannot wait to mod these.

Hahaha, same here bro!!!!!!!!!! I Started with an Indiana JOnes, but now i just can't get enough of these figures!!!!!!!!!!

I think that you will have to add a litle cotton inside the uniform to gross him out a litle so the body matches the head. Cool i look forward to see the painted pictures. (on a side note, i think you should commision someone to paint the head if you don't feel so confident. That figure is sooooo worth it!!!!!!!!!!! You will not regret it!)
Take care!

the concept that things don't sell out within a few days = failure blows my mind.

Its all about sustained viability imo. if the quality is sound, word of mouth will sell these things in due time. i'd much rather see these items justify their existence by being strong product than some flash in the pan hype sellout with no true performance based merit.

 

[Batfreak]

i hope these dont sell out fast, for those of us who need time to save up the cash for them. would hate to pay those jacked up ebay prices.

Anyone get DST Mr. Staypuft bank? It's supposedly coming back out this month according to Big Bad. I think it'd look great with the 6 inch Ray and eventually the rest of team (all 4). Is it worth getting?

I think they are great and would reccomend to pick one up! I prefer the happy face one so I leave that one on display.
