I think that's way too big, maybe the NECA Slimer bobblehead will work better...
That may not be bad! Does anyone have one they can toss next to a 1/6th scale figure?

Ha, just pointin ya in the right direction.
Fixed. I tried the right side first and couldn't find the little plug, then saw the big one sticking out on the wrong side and just popped it there for the pics. Too bad the peg on the left isn't on the right -- the gun swivels on the wrong side but is locked in one position on the correct side.
The hose is quite stiff (insert naughty reaction here) so getting your hose to hang well is difficult.
Pack's killer though. Like someone said, it's almost a shame not to pose him back forward.

Thanks for the great reviews, boyz!
That pack is freakin' insane! That and the trap and the not-quite-so-disappointing suit are well worth the money for those who want to build their own ultimate GBs.
Hey, W-G, why don't you try the hair dryer/hot water fix on the stiff hose/s... I bet you can shape 'em the way you want while they're hot and, with any luck, they'll hold the shape after they cool. Worth a try.

defiantly!! if any1 trys this post if it works or not
Hot water is a good idea. Should work.
Last night I just tucked it against the pack in a way that works until it takes shape.

yeah i thought it shud work, if the plastic hose is warmed up with water it should make it softer to bend into a shape that looks like it hangs well.
also, if there isnt a hook on the belt for the hose at the pack, im sure it would be easy enough to make a small clip to hook the hose onto the belt.
im undecided now as to what flight suit to use, this mattel one, with some obvious changes, or my dragon ones. the thing that bothers me about this mattel one is the fake pockets and fake fastening to the front. the dragon ones look better because of the real pockets, but thats my personal opinionl.
im guna see what the mattel ones look like when i get mine in.
is the colour really that much off frm the movie colour? it looks ok in the pictures!
and i gotta say, kuzeh u did a great job on the hot toys body, it does look ALOT better on the hot toys tt body!!
The question is, what gloved hands will work for a ht body?? and that are close enough to the look of the movie gloves~?

Here on the Perimeter
I considered picking these up a while back. You can not beat this deal for what you get -- but now with the License out there and GB3 in the works, I think it's just a matter of time before HT does these so I'm gonna wait...
Probably 3 years.
The good news is, with the Sculpts available, you can make a pretty decent Custom now. Can't wait to see pics of these.

Probably when and if GB3 gets made, HT might go ahead with the original... though I'm not sure how popular the 25 year old film is over in Asia.
Teabelly: the suit really is pretty good; good enough for the price. It's not ideal, no, but again with all the gear and belts and straps on, I think what shows is solid.
Glove replacement -- seems to me there was some loose black gloves somewhere long ago from Dragon, sort of like Mad Scientist gloves, the kind you use when holding dangerous vials. They would be great but finding them now might not be so easy. But the gloves that come with Ray work well enough. The body swap and new sculpt will make a world of difference.

There are lots of dealers who sell parted out modern HT military figures on eBay for fairly reasonable prices... that's probably where I'd start looking.

yeah i knw the kind u mean ithink, i already gt 4 pairs of black gloved dragon gauntlet gloved hands, but ive been told they wont fit a hot toys body and i also read here on the thread that the mattel gloves dont fit or dont look right on a hot toys body, too big i think, i think it was in kuzehs review a few pages back
yeah i knw theres alot of military hot toys figs so there must be some gauntlet style long black gloved hands somewhere, ill haver to have alook. im unfamiliar with military figs as i dnt collect em so wouldnt knw whivh 1s have the style of gloves i need

So what's this Flight Suit people are using? Is it from one of Dragon's fighter pilots? How does that look with zippers going up the calf.
Ok now that i've seen people's figures...
There are a number of glaring problems I can see with it which need to be fixed pronto if it is to look anywhere like the ray seen in the movie.
First the headsculpt. Major problem. Just you can't get over no matter what so a new headsculpt is a must me thinks.
Secondly the elbow pads. Need to be changed. Look way too big. I looked over the film for reference points and the elbow pads are only half grey with a black band holding it together so matty got this one wrong im afraid. I reckon its a simple enough fix and if you just cut it in 2 and sew(lol) or stick on a black piece of spool or cloth holding it it will look much better.
The flighsuit needs to be padded out. The way i see it his head is too big for the body making his body appear too thin. Changed headsculpt should fix that. Also i think his body looks too thin in places i.e midrift and this is causing a collapsing effect with the flightsuit. Probably this needs padding around here. Gotta say when you take the pants down over the boots like venkman is wearing in the hotel slimer scene he looks way better in the pics.
Bar this just use a true type as kuzeh used which looks way way better.
If these things are done im sure it will improve the figure to no end.

Yeah these are all problems we agree on. as u say anew headsculpt is a must. so spensers all the way. jst hope theecto goggles fit over his head because they will be made to fit the mattel head remember, they should do tho.
yeah the elbow pads suck, they need to be much smaller and yep they have a black piece on the inside part.
i also agree about the body/suit. i think he needs a small gut adding to bulk his stomach alittle, not tomuch but jst to make him a bit bigger than the others wil be.
ive got some better leather boots aswel, so they will look alot better once tucked into those.
and btw, venkman actually wears his flightsuit pants untucked in the whole movie ehe, not jst the 1st bust at the sedgewick hotel.

i got my shipping notice, well it looks like a notice for 1 item, do they ship more than 1 item ordered seperatly? i ordered 2 of each version of ray so dont knw if they will arrive seperate
they ship seperately because i got both different notices for both on different days. If you ordered a quantity of 2 in one order im assuming they would ship together then i.e bad for customs duty lol
