i guess u can use any body u want to mate. im not sure what that bodys like. i guess it comes to personal choice. some go for dragon, hot toys etc, depends on choice and cost most of the time.

yeah i have a dragon body but the hands and gloves from mattels Ray don't fit... they are too big.... I think i could make the holes bigger but who knows... Everybody is saying that the True types are cool for this one. But i guess this one is not hot toys but it says TT... (true type?)

No , those aren't Hot Toys. They're made by a company called TTL.

This is a True Type

[teabelly83]

which true types are best to use for ray??

im looking at monkey dpot and see

the regular caucasian body, the narrow shoulder version and the slim version?

and which is best for the other 3 guys, esp venkman as i want a shorter body for him, bills not that tall i dont think and i dont want his untucked jump suit bottoms half mast lol.....plus he needs to look shorter than egon

heres pics of my vartel heads (very quickly and crudely) photoshopped onto my ray body, im in the process of painting them up but couldnt resist seeing what they look like in the outfit. (i glued the tshirt to rays neck to hide the joint so this is the only way i could do this.

better pics when i finish the paint up

anyone?? not sure which truetype styles would be best?


i also wondered, i got 2 12" rays frm mattys 1 of em to open and use the parts, but i now see toy anxiety are selling the parts frm the fig, so im not sure what to do when egon comes out, whether i should get 2 again or jst get 1 to display and then buy the parts seperatly that i need from toy anxiety? like the pke,suit for the hose n tags,the trap aswel mayb. duno if it would be any cheaper jst to buy the whole fig frm mattys.

Not worth it imo. They are selling the proton pack for 37.99 on its own! The googles for 9.99.The figure with all accessories is 60 so i think just getting the full figure is the best. The shipping on all the items seperately wouldn't be worth it especially if you live outside the U.S. Your costs would turn out to be greater then if you just bought the whole item

The only reason i could see people doing this is if they just don't want to wait for the figures to come out seperately and given the differences in the release dates thats understandable. The main reason im picking up egon is the pke reader coz bar that and the headsculpt its the exact same figure as Ray.

More of my pictures are in this thread some ways back, back in August sometime...but I made a proton stream for Egon out of colored acrylic rods used in model making. They're typically used for scale lights for cars and what not. They worked perfect, I used 3/32" red for the main beam and 1/16" blue for the crackling electric beam surrounding it. Easy to make, I used a tea candle to gently and carefully heat the rods where I wanted them to bend and used a bowl of warm water to quickly set the rod once I had it where I wanted it. And I used a pin, pressed into the end while it was hot and gooey, to connect the stream to the wand. Same thing to make the connection between the stream and the 'capture stream' around Slimer.

wow that looks great! where can you buy those rods at is all i need to know.

The boots fit, but the gloves will require some modding.

oh, like making the hole on the arm bigger? Still poses great doesn't it?

Thanks.

 

[JacktheRipper]

The post and hole in the gloves a larger than the tiny post from the TT. I'm thinking of putting some epoxy on the hand posts (TT) to make them larger. Although the Mattel gloves are over-sized I do like them and want to make them work.

And yes, the TT poses great.
