The [Art Asylum Blog](http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/02/when-theres-something-bad-in-the-neighborhood/) has been updated with a little bit of information about the new [Ghostbusters Minimates](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/minimates) and Ghostbusters Fans has managed to come up with a few new details. There will be two releases that will have several Characters in each. The first group will have: [Egon](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/egon-spengler/), [Peter](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/peter-venkman/), [Dana](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/dana-barrett/) (as Gatekeeper), [Louis](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/louis-tully/) (as Keymaster), and a [Terror Dog](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/terror-dog/). The 2nd and more distant release will have [Ray](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/ray-stantz/), [Winston](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/winston-zeddemore/), [Gozer](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/gozer/), [Stay Puft](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/stay-puft/) and [Slimer](http://www.gbfans.com/toys/minimates/slimer/). Each figure is about 2" tall and they should be fairly affordable. UPDATE: Also coming from [Diamond Select Toys](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/diamond-select-toys) (the distributors of Minimates) will be replica Ecto-1 license plates and a [Stay Puft Marshmallow Man](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/the-stay-puft-marshmallow-man) bank.

Pretty cool if I was into these. Dana’s a l’ll Tim Curry-esque, which is funny. I guess I still don’t get it? Between these and the Kubricks, they’re cool… I guess? I’ve just never been into it. ---

Awesome! Was there a set release on these somewhere? I think maybe I overlooked it. ---

Those look… OK. For their size, anyway. Looks like the tops of the jumpsuits slip off so you can get a “no pack” look for the busters? ---

There is a really cool deisgn sheet about a special beam / trap accessory that should be coming with the 2nd release. ---

This is _fantastic_ stuff! These will go nicely with my Back to the Future minimates. 🆒 And I like the solution they came up with the [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack): Make the mold like the wand but add a traditional gun joint at the end so the little fellas can hold them. That way the wands won’t have to have thin molds (thus prone to breaking easily) for them to fit into the figure’s hands. Love the trap and meter accessories too! These also appear to be the very first minimates to have unique character molds as well! The [terror dog](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/minimates/terror-dog) looks wonderful! BTW, there’s more detailed schematics of the figures here: [http://www.artasylum.com/gallery/ghostbusters-minimates/](http://www.artasylum.com/gallery/ghostbusters-minimates/) EDIT: Never mind, they fixed the patch problem. 😃 However it looks like: - Ray will come with two hair molds: One with Ecto-goggles and one without - Stay-Puft will have three alternate faces - The accessories are removable from the belts - Slimer’s outer body will be translucent with the actual minimate body underneath having food painted on it. Nice! Now if only someone would re-release the diecast 1:18 Ecto-1 or make a new one to go along with these little fellas. ---

Hey look, Peter’s pants aren’t tucked in! …sorry, I couldn’t resist. 🆒 EDIT: LMAO, Peter comes with a walkie accessory. ---

Actually, it looks like Peter’s legs are un-tucked! Ha! I wouldn’t complain if they were one way or the other, but it’s kind of funny. On Egon, the paint for the boots goes half way up the calf pieces, but on Pete, it’s only the feet. These are cool. My little bro is a HUGE mini-mate fan, so he’ll get a kick out of these. ---

Well, that’s what I get for trying to be a wiseguy with a glaring typo. 😛 Winston doesn’t look like he comes with any accessories. [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/ghostbusters-minimates-playsets-real-first-look/26247.md?page=2)
