The Real Ghostbusters line by Diamond Select

[Rambler]

Here are some pics I took of the guys from C2E2 this past weekend

I hope the proton packs are removable.

I hope the proton packs are removable.

They're not on any of the figures in the pics above...so I think that's confirmed.

These look great; I can't wait for them.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, there are no molded straps on their torsos. These look so good.

Unfortunately, that is also the case with the movie versions and those packs are not removable. You can pry the glued strap apart or cut it to make those removable at least, but they don't come that way. I am guessing the RGB will be the same.

Zach from Diamond is coming on our podcast in 2 weeks to talk about the RGB line. I can ask him then... Any other questions you guys want me to ask?

will it be available worldwide in most toy shops?

They should be available to order at most specialty shops... Any place that orders through Diamond can get them.

The closure of Toys R Us though means that non-diorama versions will need a new retail partner to pick them up as exclusives if those are going to happen.

I expect a complete non-answer ("still working on approvals") but if you can, PLEASE ask him about the seemingly abandoned Pulp Fiction line.

Ask him what the Hell is the story with Pulp Fiction figures wave 2 and why they didn't make the X-Files classics line. Also ask why they aren't making Westworld figures too yet they made Gotham figures.

Where is my Ecto-1?
Any plans for the GB reboot?
Any plans for Muppets playsets? (Full playsets or diorama pieces similar to GB)
Any chance for Sesame Street figures?

 

[darthkush]

I second the sesame street question. I didn't bite on muppets because there have been a few muppet lines but nobody has ever done sesame street(I think palisades only did super grover and he was an exclusive) but it'd bite on a few waves of those.

Peoplebusters, please.

Basically, how far are they going to go with the line? Any other ghosts aside from Slimer?

 

[sallah]

Sorry guys... I am trying to limit it to just GB questions this time around (I should have clarified that, my bad). We had him on previously for an all-encompassing DST talk, but this time we are sticking to Ghostbusters.

Yes, ask them about a 7 inch line Ecto 1 for the movie or cartoon figures. Thank you.

So did he mention Pulp Fiction?

That would be great.

1. We have gotten a few Ghost Trap accessories but they are all closed.
Will Diamond make a open ghost trap with energy effects? In the past the minimates series released 2 versions of the ghost trap, open and closed. It would be great if the Select figures can do the same.

2. I don't think I am the only one here. Would like to see Select figures for the Answer the call team. I liked the movie and really lacking good representations of the characters.

Could we see Extreme Ghostbusters? I'd like a Kylie and Eduardo.

I second this. Underrated show and characters! At least we see Kylie in the comics so there's a good chance she could be made!
