Just so happens I have a roll of “Mint” tape… PS thats exactly what they did. They used the same head carrier as they did for Egon and ray and didnt bother to check the dims of the new venkman head before using the same packaging.
good grief - I was going to buy a set of these, but it’s almost $9.00 to ship to my workplace - how is that possible? $4.99 for 15 little plastic discs and almost double ($8.78) to ship them? get the ■■■■ outta here… and why don’t I buy a Hotwheels ecto-1 for $10.00 while Im at it ?
do you know of any alternative sources for similar stands for 6" figures ?
Sorry man that’s the only place I’ve gotten them from. I ordered some other stuff so I didn’t notice the shipping that much. If you do find them somewhere else please share the link for others.
ebay, can’t post a link, but they are there if you search…pretty decent prices too…
Matty sells 6" stands for their DCUC line, maybe they’d fit the 6" GB line.
I believe that is actually what they use to display them at the shows. I just didn’t like them because they were blue. But yes they should fit.
I’ve found that just letting him sit out of the box for a day or so will help the face if you don’t want to risk heating him.
And honestly, looking closely at the prototype, my in hand figure, and the pics on matty’s site, it think they DID use the final head on their sale page.
yes Ive looked at everyones pics and I’d say the head that everyone got is molded off the prototype from the con, but they went with a softer paint job that matches the previous 12" figures, which I’m not crazy about… I’m absolutely gaga over the 6" line but the 12" figures/dolls dont do it for me, the proton pack is impressive but other then that I cant justify spending the $60 + s&h per figure.
Luckily mine came without the squeezing issue; I think it is luck of the draw. Just to play it safe, I cut off one side of the plastic “head holder” for when I put it back in the box…so now there’s no pressure and I can’t be the one responsible for crushing the huge melon on top of his neck.
You can also get 12" figure stands from Sideshow Toys:
And I’ve actually been taking the ‘no ghost’ logos from the 6" figure packaging and glueing them to the base to cover up the text, which looks a little different on mine. They look good.
LOL That was too much
Hi, iwas just checking my collection and watching my 12" ray and I noticed that the plastic package that holds the head is the same as venkmans, could it be possible that his head is squished too?
I thought the same thing so I actually tried heating Ray’s head up also. But unfortunately it ended up looking the same.
Squishy squishy!
