Present Toys - 1/6 PT-57-PT-58 Ghost Hunting Squad (Ghostbusters)

[Godfather1408]

My guess it will be a 2 pack set followed by another 2.

Excluding the recent mad max present toys tend to improve their stuff upon release. I'm curious to see proton packs. Would be a good set for kit bashing we'll see.

 

[Razorwing]

Winston looks alright! Peter looks like a body builder for some reason.. maybe it's the angle? Welp, since they are getting a release... Why not?

 

[FlyAndFight]

Not the most flattering head sculpt for Venkman but these will be the only "affordable" game in town...

 

[aksimpson91]

Are these meant to be based of the first film?

 

[PizzaCake]

Man, I was really looking forward to these as I have personally had good experiences with my couple of Present Toys figures and was stoked to finally have an affordable Ghosbusters set but this looks…kinda rough.

The Murray likeness is pretty thin as-is but that stocky look with Tom Hardy traps and the lack of a neck is concerning. Hopefully just the angle? The body swap on Raider Jones made a world of difference so might just need to plan for the same thing here.

I know Present Toys have upgraded some sculpts from proto before release (Generic Max aside) - I think the Mike Ehrmantraut? - and this would seem like a big seller for them for everyone who got priced out of Blitzway, so maybe there’s improvements yet to come. Unless another alternative pops up I might be locked in regardless. *Sigh*, stupid collector brain.

I think on there Scissorhands shortly after PO they posted an updated sculpt so here’s hoping

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yikes!

On Zeddemore... head's too small. gloves too small, boots too small, outfit looks a bit ragged...

And the choice of expression on Venkman is about the worst I've ever seen.

I don't know about this...

 

[Godfather1408]

I love they've given Venkman a screaming sculpt and good to hear it will have lighting.

What? Where's this?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

What? Where's this?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I had high hopes for these. Oh well, they all can't be Joker good.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not sure the screaming is much better for Venkman... neither captures the Venkman attitude.

 

[davejames]

Um yeah... these look kinda terrible. Guess I won't be getting a Winston to complete my set after all.

I honestly would have preferred they just straight up recast the BW sculpts, since they're copying everything else anyway.

 

[davejames]

Also not surprising that they don't show the proton packs lit up.

 

[HAL9000.]

But it’s all Blitzway stuff, apart from the hockey pads and recast boots and gloves.

How can we make an informed buying decision if they’re not going to show their own tailoring?

 

[Danny-Boy]

Yikes!

On Zeddemore... head's too small.

Yep they’ve copied Blitzway alright.

 

[Wor-Gar]

KO's often shrink. Looks like that's what happened to the head.

Anyway, if this is their best sales photo, I'm out.

Thankfully, I got BW Venkman... maybe their Ray and Egon will be better.

 

[Rambler]

yikes.....glad I have the BW

 

[Mr.E]

The "best" any figure from Present Toys is going to look is generally the promo images. That's about the best you can hope for. However, based on their track record thus far, it goes downhill from there. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Godfather1408]

Actually disagree with that statement. Though max was a pile of * cough cough* their tailoring and paint is actually pretty decent.

Tailoring is actually top on most especially on their mask and Van Gogh. My advice is depending on the deposit maybe po see how they turn out.
