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 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 for the first time. I ran and grabbed the ‘one too many’ lab coat figure and disassembled him for a coat of spray paint!

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 figures. Anybody got any extras they’d be willing to part with. I can trade you some Walter Pecks!
Alex
Great collection! i like how you lit up the Slimer in the one pic.
Why is everyone looking at Winston? … He must have said “The B Word” 3 times… 
Cool pic!
That SUCKS that that happened, but the cleaned scan looks GORGEOUS!!..Yet another GB piece from years past I’ve never seen!! I have the can, but never had this :-(…
Hey did anybody else notice that the new Mattel ‘Ready to Believe You’ Venkman has the entire pocket painted black instead of just the pocket protector?
Alex
love the photos! very nice collection you have there!
Brilliant!
Love all the story line pics! I wanted to do something like that with all my mini-mates but damn my laziness!
Hey, has anybody ever customized the Super Fright Features Egon figure into the outfit he wears in X-mas Marks the Spot?
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 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”, so this pic was only logical.
“Hey Janine, I brought you a present!”
Alex
And the next day was when she dumped him. :lol:
lol, that’s awesome. Good luck with the show in Oct.
Dusting off this thread…
Thanks to GBFan beezer090, I finally have extra Marshmallow Mess figures to do this photo!
Alex
That pic rocks!
Btw, if you get the pack off courtroom peter, you end up with Frank Cross from Scrooged!
