New Ghostbusters Figures

[Indiana Fett]

I think the head that comes with the 12 inch figure looks like Phil Hartman in a way,, the cheeks and the mouth, that grin he's sporting just scream Phil Hartman to me.

"hi im troy macclure, you might remember me from movies such as..."

lol!! awsome indiana!!

so cool is ur ray fig looking now? better thn it was im sure, even tho its only half done. i agree about the flight suit aswel, at 1st ididnt like it at all, but its grown on me, and seeing it in person, i actualy dont mind it, i think with a slight dye to darken it slightly more close to the movie colour, and then better elbow pads and the belt and accersories swaped then it will be awsome. i already got some leather boots which ilike better and guna get some gloves and switch to a hot toys bod. then pad it with either a fat suit, or save the money and use fabric on the stomach area.


u getting ur pics up2 mate??

HAHA! Thanks teabelly! Definitely gonna aim to get some pics up tonight after work. Honestly, out-of-the-box, the figure is A LOT better than I anticipated. Of course, with the new flight suit and all the other upgrades (HT body, Spencer head painted by small_studios, Astro's extra gear...) It's gonna look even BETTER, but it's not really that bad as is. Especially for $60 when SS figures are closer to at least $100 now and HT's are closer to $150.

I added 'padding' to Ray overall under the flight suit to beef him up a bit. Just used some fabric folded up and taped down. For now it's all on the Mattel body, but once I get Spencer's heads back from Josh, I'll switch him to the TT.

Watch for pics later on...

ok cool mate. will look forward to seeing em. when u padded him out did u jst add fabric padding to the stomach area? or did u add any to other areas?

yeah i need to get a tt body and i wanted to have josh paint my ray head but he stated hes not taking anymore til after december. boo. he painted up acouple of heads for me b4. so its either wait or get a painted head frm spenser and then get josh to repaint it at a later date.

so u said the mattel gloves fit ok onto the true type? cool. im not sure if i like the gloves or totaly hate em lol

I say wait until Josh takes more commissions after December. It'll be worth it!

As for the gloves, I actually kinda like them. At least for now. Maybe I'll eventually replace them with some black HT military gloves or something, but overall, they look fine with how I've got mine set-up.

As for the padding, I actually wrapped a bunch around the stomach, a bit more at the top of the chest and the back. Then some around the fore-arm, arm, thigh and calf. Then I 'water-treated' the flight suit and packed him into it...mainly so it would stretch and shrink to the shape of the padding. I plan to 'carefully' take the suit off and remove some of the padding, so the suit looks a little more 'loose' like it did in the films, but will hopefully hang better overall. I'll also still leave padding around his belly at least...or slip one of my fat-suit's I bought for my custom Gimli on him...I'll see what might work best. Stay tuned...

sounds awsome mate, and thanks for the padding tips.

yeah glove wise i got some dragon gloves but dnt think they fit on a hot toys bod, but i found some good ht gloves but need alittle mod.

and yeah it will be worth it to wait iguess, he painted up a my name is earl and adas bill murray and the paint job he did on thosewas gr8, not the best sculpts but he did cool with the paint work.

Abnybody here has the Slimer Amazon exclusive statue?
Looks like it's 1/6-ish?
Or is it too large?

 

[teabelly83]

not sure kuzeh, why u ask mate? u guna display em with ur 12" figs?

 

[Astro_zombie]

For a good 1/6 slimer do a google for sale search or browse ebay. This little guy pops up from time to time and is only 10 bucks. Or at least thats how much i paid for him.

I repainted him and coated him with glow in the dark paint and 2 coats of gloss (for that trademark slime look!) He sits about waist high to the figures but looks great with them.

is this figure sold out? I was never sure where you buy it from (I hadn't followed it from the beginning y'see)

 

[karamazov80]

mattycollector.com is the site you seek.

Got Vartal's head today. Now it just needs a painting.

 

[Restaurajones]

Looks fantastic! the ray´s head from vartal is the right selection IMO. I think must to go to one of their heads

 

[samueljd]

How much does the Vartal head go for?

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

I'm so happy i chose Vartal's head.
wohooooooo!

Which figure are you referring to, FHA? If you mean the Ray Stantz 12", it's available exclusively from MattyCollector.com's online store. Here's a link to the order page for ya! They haven't sold out yet, but it seems shipping to folks in the UK may take a few weeks. Hope this helps.

hey karamazov80, have u got any pics of that ray without the ecto goggles on his forehead. id lovee to see em if possible mate. its the forehead that bothered me with that head, it looks really big in the photos vartal put up, but looks ok there, and i gota say it does look really cool on the body!!

[Batfreak]

omg now THAT is a akkroyd sculpt.

 

[holtrax]

nice padding i need to go and do that to the figure also.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah im starting to like the flight suit aswel on this fig, as mr e showed tho might need a slight dye treatment to darken slightly

 

[karamazov80]

I'll try to take some pics without the goggles when I get a chance. The head cost me something like $35 shipped from Vartal's "Your Own Head.net" website.

The body is an old BBI body. Not sure which version. It was the only spare I had laying around that my extra black gloves could fit on.
