New Ghostbusters Figures

[holtrax]

good review and i know this topic has been done to death but what is up with that headsculpt for egon. It looks absolutely terrible. It really destroys the whole figure. The first pic he actually looks like he has no face??? I didn't think the sculpt could be any worse then rays but this one is.

I can understand they needed to keep the cost down on this to make it affordable to the mass markets but thats really unacceptable. Why make sure a great effort on the equipment suits etc to have that 'thing' on top of the figure. Winstons sculpt is the only one i think looks anywhere remotely near the character.

I'll admit that it looks pretty bad, but worse than Ray bad? I don't know

Lol ok that might be stretching it a little but pretty bad. On a good note the pke looks fantastic very accurate.

I'm switching heads on all so I don't care. Was well aware of the Mattel sculpts in advance.

Excellent news that the PKE meter actually opens or unfolds. That's a cool little extra.

Wish there was a couple more unique items for each character. Gonna get tired of that trap pretty soon.

Who actually carries the trap anyway? Ray, right?

Egon looks worse than I expected...
I don't care really since I'm replacing the body and head...
6" Winston looks a bit weird but the trap is amazing!!
Can't wait for these!! !!

Yeah me too i think there should be more unique items with each character. I mean bascially bar the headsculpt and nametag and pke its the exact same figure. Still for the price can't complain really.

the headsculpt looks that bad because the guy who made the review used a flash, a flash is the worst you can use to display a figure... The headsculp doesn't look worst than Ray in person... Not perfect either, but it's not that horrible as the pics that he's posted. Just wait till u see it.

yeah the headsculpt does suck, but ray was the worst of the bunch for sure. i agree winston is the only1 that really looks like the actor.

but again ill be with mst ppl and be replacing the head sculpts when ican get them. im also using different flightsuits etc, so jst using certain parts from the mattel figures.

once egon is released it will be a long gap until peter in april ithink.

 

[Cryoguns]

what are some good boot alternatives that won't cost me an arm and a leg?

Anyone use these from Gameitoy?

Those are the ones I got for mine. At $5 at the time, they were the cheapest option and didn't look too bad once they're all laced up. Definitely better than the stock rubber ones.

I think the Egon looks faily good for what it is since most people will be converiting them to other bodies with better headsculpts. My only concern right now is the preview of the Venkman figure. Looks like Mattel isn't gonna change the length of the current jumpsuit. Venkman wore his unbloused, out of the boots, the figure looks to be way too short in the pantlegs to pull that off.

I believe the TrueType bodies are shorter than the body Mattel is using, so it won't really be an issue if you swap over to a TT.

WELL, they have a couple of months to fix that.... if they even care to fix it!

BY THE WAY...

Does anyone have Vartal's Egon head? I think someone bought the set of 4...
Was wondering how good does Egon look.

Thanks

does anyone have a hi-rez pic of the containment unit or "slimed" peter in 6" scale?

That I can understand. That's how they should market it.

Coming March 2010 - Containment Unit with Walter Peck accessory.
