New Ghostbusters Figures

[chalkyYT]

SURE THING!!! You'll have a SUPER cool GB figure!!!!!!!!!!!! A huge improvement comparing to Mattel's sculpt!

Please post pics as soon as you have the fig and please tell us how difficult it was to attach the head.... (be sure to pour hot water on your naked ray before pulling out the head , i heard the neck breaks) And post pics on different angles. You could add a cigarret to the sculpt, it would look sooooooooooooo cool!

Take care
Sal

cheers for the advise on the head! the cigarette is a good idea too. ive already put my head onto a truetype and added a bit of padding to the stomach.-at the mo it just looks like rays wearing a giant nappy! so all i really have to do is swap the costume over

what did u use for the padding? im debating whether to buy a fat suit or jst use some fabric to pad him out.

just a bit of foam packaging. i wont know if it will look any good until i can dress him up. i just wanted to pad the waist and stomach just a little

I used a narrow shoulder TrueType with a fat suit, Hot Toys military gloved hands, and the SS Cobra Trooper boots. The goofy head is the only thing left to change.

The extra padding really makes him look more Ray-like. I really like the look of those boots, btw. Gotta see if I can find some of those for my guys, too.

Here's a reference pic of the boots (Venkman's on the left) and the rubber gloves for anyone who's interested.

yeah iwas guna go for eiter a fat suit or get some material to wrap around the figure to pad him out in the stomach area. not too much tho as hes not really fat in the movie, so jst make him slightly bigger then what the others will be.

cool ref on the boots and gloves.

Those boots appear to be standard combat boots. I have about three pairs exactly like that from my ROTC days.

hell yes! at this rate it will be time to order egon 12" and winston 6"

im also kinda more relaxed now as i dnt think they will sell out on mattys site, so might not have torush to the site and get them like ray.

idont remember my 6" egon taking this long to be shipped.

WOW! Incredible custom Ectomobile Sal! Now I want one of those someday. You should do a commission for those! I am sure they would sell here! Lots of BIG Ghosbusters fans, like myself, here on this board!
