Now, if we could only get pictures!

 

[NightCrawler]

Actually (to lazy to read another article) Theres going to be smaller ver. figures as well. I believe they're not only making figures with respectable gadgets, but they're making a whole line of ghost as well... which i think is awsome.

Not a fan of 12in figures... at all... so i'm lookin forward n hopin the smaller figs are of the movie...

 

[Lord Valumart]

yeh, they're doing 6" scale figs from the movie and the RGB cartoon...and one would assume the game

“Ghostbusters” collectors can also look forward to 6-inch figures, with one debuting at San Diego Comic Con in July 2009. Sculpted by Four Horsemen Studios, the team currently working on Mattel’s popular DC Universe™ Classics and Masters of the Universe® Classics collectible lines, the 6-inch line will come complete with authentic “Ghostbusters” equipment and ghost.


Ghostbusters is my favorite comedy of all time. and with Bill Murray's likeness? FINALLY!!

[Spider-Jay420]

not bad. The detail is incredible. I just hope Murrray's likeness looks better on the 6 inch fig.

 

[Lord Valumart]

i'm slightly more worried about aykroyds likeness...

however i think the egon is looking rather brilliant

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Egon does look amazing!

But uh, where's Winston?

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure when they announced Matty Collector, they claimed it would be worldwide shipping. Whether they came through on their promise or not is another story.

 

[K.B.]

Lookin pretty sweet so far :P

 

[Roughneck]

not bad. The detail is incredible. I just hope Murrray's likeness looks better on the 6 inch fig.

What? There is no Venkman there....Just 12 inch Ray and Egon, Six in Ray and Six inch unpainted egon.

The 12 inch in the goggles is Ray.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i thought Venkman was the unpainted one?

 

[NightCrawler]

NICE! i found em on another site and wanted to post... but seems they've already been posted.

I'm glad the 6in are movie vers. I'll def buy em. They look really good too.

BTW

For those who collect those minimates... Diamond Select will be making Ghostbuster minimate figs.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

What? There is no Venkman there....Just 12 inch Ray and Egon, Six in Ray and Six inch unpainted egon.

The 12 inch in the goggles is Ray.

What? You're telling me this is Ray, Egon and Ray again in cloth? C'mon.

they are doing 12 inch in plastic and 12 inch in cloth? That doesn't seem right to me.

 

[Roughneck]

I assumed the plastic ones were two ups.

And watch ghostbusters again and tell me who is the only one that wore goggles like that. Also, it looks more like Danny boy then it does Billy, also look at the hair in comparison of Ray and the Cloth one, same hair, Also it wouldn't make any sense for two characters to be plastic and others to be cloth.

Another note, on the plastic ones they seem to just use the same body, which is pretty much fine, but check the sculpted gloves on the belt.

Anyway....yeah if they're six inchers then I'll just get the movie likenesses of those.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Rough is right, these are obviously quite early prototypes that are just to show off how awesome stuff will be. they'll no doubt have sculpts for each of them rather than just a standard body.

and the plastic ones probably are scaled up 6" cause the grey prototype 6" egon is, from what i can make out, the same as the 12" egon...

 

[The-Dark-Knight]

So i take it us in the UK wont get these?

 

[Lord Valumart]

mattycollector ships to the UK....but it'll be a hell of a lot on the postage

 

[The-Dark-Knight]

Damn. Are the 6 inch figures being released in the UK? Actually in the USA are they Matty Collector Exclusives or avaliable in the shops?

 

[Lord Valumart]

i don't think even they know whats going on with them...

 

[vog]

i think both the 6" and 12" lines are gonna be mattycollector exclusive lines just like MOTUC.

and the horsemen always sculpt in 2-up form, so the 6" prototypes are gonna be 12". mattel will shrink it down and ruin the paint apps accordingly in production.
