Ghostbusters by Mattel

[The-Dark-Knight]

16 months for them all to come out?

that can't be right...

That does not sound right at all, i cant see mattel doing that.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

I'm no rocket scientist, but if there are 4 figures and they come out every 2 months, that makes it 8 months.

4 x 2 = 8 t:

The 6-inchers are every other month. I'm not sure about the 12" line. If I had to guess, I'd say they release a 6" one month and a 12" the following month, so all four members in both scales will be out in the first 8 months. The 6" will definitely be every other month though.

And according to this article, the 6" will be $20, while the 12" will be $60. I'm still not sure on which price is correct. $20 will put them in line with MOTUC, which makes more sense.

"On display at the New York Comic-Con were figures of Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, and Dr. Egon Spengler. A sculpt of Winston Zeddemore is finished, however Mattel is waiting on licensor approval to show it to fans. Mattel also hinted that "big, big stuff" is in store for the Ghostbusters toy line; an image of the Stay Puft marshmallow man teasing of good things to come."

OK, so, which one is Venkman?

and BAF Marshmallow Man???

 

[spideyboy_1111]

a great bright side to this line, is that the Neca figures will fit and work great with them

None oem are venkman that site is wrong, i can add a link that clearly says 2 of them are Stantz and is Spengler. (Quite clearly showing their names on there chest)

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Don't worry about it. I've seen 'em.

I just really want to see Venkman.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Im definitely getting the six inch figures.

now thats goos news... less of a blow to the wallet, not much less but still less

 

[Roughneck]

Watching Ghostbusters last night....cause I'm awesome.......It wont be perfect if they use the same body sculpt for all of them.

Ray always wore tight black gloves
They all wore big black gloves when working, these have no big black gloves.
Peter didn't tuck his pants into his boots


AmI being too picky now?

 

[Lord Valumart]

if they can get that sort of thing right in the game they can get it right on figures...or else...

 

[Roughneck]

I understand that using the same body is more cost effective.

 

[Lord Valumart]

yeh, i just read that on another forum...

thats the 6" line not getting my money

 

[Saint553]

Ya know, I'm just thrilled to be getting ghostbuster figures that are pretty accurate. I just hope it's lame ass packaging because there's no way they're staying MOC. I really wish, though I doubt it will happen, they can make an Ecto-1A in scale to these guys.

I don't care if they're the same body. They're reality now, for the most part.

 

[Roughneck]

I'm wondering if I need to track down Neca's Gozer or if there'll be a new in scale one here eventually

well you should still track down the dogs, and to be honest, they've said nothing about villains other then a possible large stay puff (which imo has to be larger and better then the Neca one for anyone to consider getting it), something tells me this might be a one time thing line. because what will wave 2 consist of? there not going to do ghostbuster variants, and Gozer, Dana, Louis, Janine, Dr. Janosz Poha, and Vigo are going to sell the lines.

 

[Roughneck]

They did say that this line is going to cover the Movies, the show and the new game

The new game features all of the baddies from the movies (Gozer, Marshy, Vigo, The ghosts from the courthouse.......Slimer)

I dunno....I don't knwo what to expect.

Also they don't need to worry about those folks selling the lines....these are online exclusive.

Also sis they say they arent doing GB Vairnets? A simple repaint and you got GB2 Busters......I wouldn't get em, but if someone misses out on the first it's a great second chance offer.

 

[Saint553]

I think if they do any variants for GB2 they'd probably be Ray/Winston with the slime packs. They could do different colored outfits (I was always partial to the dark gray that you see briefly). There could be a slimed Venkman. Here's what I'm wondering:

1. Will they packs be removable?

2. Will there be an attachable proton stream?

3. Will there be an in-scale Ecto 1A?

4. How much of the animated show will the incorporate? (varieties of ghosts, 6" versions of the cartoon versions, etc)

5. I want a dancing toaster.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Gozer, Dana, Louis, Janine, Dr. Janosz Poha, and Vigo are going to sell the lines.

how can you say that? janosz is just begging to be made in 6" scale!

I did read on another forum that they're doing gloved and ungloved varients of each Ghostbuster. The ungloved variant is gonna have them hanging off of their belts.

Are you ****ing Serious?

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

All I know is I'm gettin me some GB awesomeness. Gloves, no gloves, whatever. Atleast we're gettin something.

But if you wanna see in-scale baddies that are big u gotta support the line. MOTU Classics has shown its support and for that they have the line laid out and plans for both Battle Cat and Panthor, which are basically vehicles in a sense. So if MOTU has plans for that I can see GB Classics going that route IF it gets the support that warrants Mattel's efforts to make the bigger villains or hell, maybe even Ecto 1A (which I could totally see end up being con-exclusive).

 

[Roughneck]

I'll be fully supporting it....Well at least all 4 six incher GBers

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Same here, but if it continues with promise for even better figs and villains I'm game.

 

[SpideyLad]

Are you ****ing Serious?

Well from what I've heard, yes.
