I read somewhere that the 12" gb II 2 figures packs are indeed going to be sold, but they were delayed a bunch of times.

In my opinion if they are going to add a new prop they are either going for the goggles but to go out with a BANG I think they’ll do the proton gun; mind you, not a full [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), but a 1:1 proton gun:it will make sounds and lights, and you can display it à la Terminator 2 arm… or heck, you might want to attach it to your full sized proton pack

Voilà

Actually, the gun would be an excellent idea. Fans could use them for their home made packs, the price would be lower than the traps, and if they sold well enough, a matching pack could be released later. (Or a bundle of gun and pack could be done.)

Thats a FAR better idea than [ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles), or the [belt gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board).

yeah, my thoughts exactly. I thought about thoroughly during american literature class (yeah, should’ve known better I guess)

and I think this is what’s best

I still think goggles would be a good idea, and it would be interesting to see what Matty does with it creatively… since the real prop doesn’t DO anything except sit on your face. That sounds wrong.

The idea of selling a gun as a prop is something I hadn’t thought of. It’s an interesting idea, I’d install it on my [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). But it might be a risky choice. I mean, a proton gun without its pack is… weird.

I really wish Matty would consider making a [Ecto-1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1) before canceling the line. After that I’d be fine with it, we would pretty much have everything so there wouldn’t be much complaints, at least not from me.

I’d honestly would like to see them finish the Courtroom scene set and maybe a Janine with the desk.

Just a small point to tito but the MR prop replica line was canceled because the CEO of Corgi int. (which purchased MR) pulled the plug on the project saying [prop replicas](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/mattel-prop-replicas) were too expensive to develop. Shortly thereafter, MR shut its doors for good.

As long as Dana comes with the Fridge, eggs and a bag of StayPuft the line can end & I’ll be happy.

Dana looks like a stupid McFarlane statue posed on the table like that.

Who would want to post there when all you get is people yelling at you over toys?

I didn’t realize that’s when they went out of business. Understandable, but still disappointing to hear at the time.

I think people would have bought Janine and Dana but anything further than that would be too obscure for the vast majority. This is why I mentioned above Citizen Ghost…they wouldn’t have a chance in hell of selling enough of those to pay for the molds.

I was thinking they could use existing molds for these, just use translucent green for the heads. No?

So true. So true.
