A great way to finish your collection, especially since it seems like Matty will not be finishing them for us. ---

When I was buying figures from that Singapore seller, I bought two of the lab coat Egon. One to keep as Egon, one to customize as Peter. This was before the Matty figure went on sale… ironically, I received the real one via Club Ecto several days BEFORE my ‘early’ ones arrived from the Orient. So my son was watching Ghostbusters the other day while I was working on repainting a [Kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) for his Halloween costume. I glanced up, and there’s Ramis in a WHITE lab coat in the scene where they’re interviewing [Dana Barrett](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/dana-barrett) for the first time. I ran and grabbed the ‘one too many’ lab coat figure and disassembled him for a coat of spray paint! ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/1/e11100a92a911e6daab4385d7c4e9e9f65ade073.jpeg) “She’s telling the truth.

So, I bought a bunch of custom fodder figures from Matty when they had their sale, awaiting all of those to arrive before I begin swappin out parts. But I need at least one, and preferably two, loose GB1 [Winston Zeddemore](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/winston-zeddemore) figures. Anybody got any extras they’d be willing to part with. I can trade you some [Walter Pecks](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/walter-peck)! Alex ---

Hey did anybody else notice that the new [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) ‘Ready to Believe You’ Venkman has the entire pocket painted black instead of just the pocket protector? Alex ---

Hey, has anybody ever customized the [Super Fright Features](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/kenner/super-fright-features) Egon figure into the outfit he wears in X-mas Marks the Spot? ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/1/c1cb9a28e43b6cd49913b76dbae4bc6f4f9128c9.webp) I mean, they’re similar but it could still be nudged more. I nabbed some pics of broken figures off eBay and made a quick mockup… It’s the body of the SFF Egon with the helmet bubble of SFF Winston, plus a regular Egon head since the one under the SFF helmet won’t work. Sculpt on the headset and a few other details, slap the right color scheme on it, and voila. It’s too simple NOT to have been conceived and executed yet, so who’s done one? Alex ---

That’s pretty spot on Alex, I never noticed how close those were. I’ve got some bits since I bashed some SFF for another project. I might have to give it a go. Another one for the list anyway 😉 ---

Yeah, I won an auction for some beater figures last night myself, hope to eventually cobble that Egon together too! Alex ---

Very cool Alex, those Super Fright Featured have to be the loneliest Ghostbusters set out there, I always felt that they were wearing [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit) outfits. I still believe this set has a quirky retro appeal. ---

I’ll be directing Little Shop of Horrors in October (I’ve acted in it three times since 1989) so I’ve been dragging my Audrey II collection out of storage. Whenever my son watches Little Shop, he calls Seymour “Louis” and Arthur Denton “[Peter Venkman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/peter-venkman)”, so this pic was only logical. “Hey Janine, I brought you a present!” Alex ---
