MattyCollector.com posted an update to their Facebook page today with an update to the Ghostbusters release schedule. There are a few delays as we mentioned in a previous news article, but the release schedule will be picking up for the remainder of the year.
*Orignally we had intended for a new 6" figure to ship every 2-3 months. But, inevitably due to circumstances well beyond our control we had a few hickups (this is why we don’t do preorders for any of our lines!). But we are back online now and 6" Walter Peck is scheduled to hit Mattycollector.com in May. This will be followed by Slimed Peter in June and Labcoat Ray in Aug.
12" Peter will hit in April followed by Winston in Aug.
We’re running a bit behind but by the end of the year we should be caught up and ready for even more Ghostbuster fun in 2011!
There will be three more 6" figure for 2010 yet to reveal plus a really great SDCC item that will knock your socks off! The Ghostbuster fun has only yet begun - only on Mattycollector.com!*
I wanted to jump in and give a quick update on what is going on with the GB line in 12" and 6" scale. We’ve had a few delays in release dates, but all six 6" figures and the Peter and Winston 12" figures are still set for release in 2010.

Matty
Lab Coat Ray will ship in Aug. He comes with the Ghost Sniffer later used by Peter in Dana’s appartment!
Ray comes with the sewer Ghost. The eyes will be painted on the final figure and will glow in the dark!
Slimed Peter features an all new Peter head, untucked pants, gloved hands and comes with a new Slimer sticking out his tongue! He ships in June.
Walter Peck now ships in May and comes with an in-scale containment unit that opens up to accept the trap that comes with Winston!
I don’t think they could afford to produce an ecto one as an exclusive. Exclusives generally will have limited original tooling because the production numbers aren’t high enough to financially support it. I’m glad to get some attention to matty. Hopefully the release schedule is smooth from here on out, and the future character choices are great.
This does come as a relief. I’m excited to have back to back releases. Hopefully the 3 remaining will be Unslimed Egon and Venkman and Dana.
slimer28: Good call on the SDCC being the library ghost. The quote seems appropriate. It could refer to a Zuul Dana considering good ol’ Sigourney didn’t have much on let alone shoes. But that’s kinda reaching. I dunno.
Good solid info in the release at least. I am interested to know what the other figures are going to be. I really like the new picture of the subway ghost.
Well if they were hinting at the Librarian and now we have seen a Ray variant perhaps Mattel is fixed on doing variants on the 4 main guys before they start to experiment with the rest of the cast. My guess they will do a variant of Egon or Peter from the Library scene packaged with the Librarian. I bet its so we wouldn’t get bored with another lab coat variant so they are mixing things up a bit. If this were the case I can see Egon coming with a PKE or Peter with a petre dish full of slime.
