Appologies if there is another thread with this information on.
Just wondered if we have a firm release date list for this years GB figures.
I know that we’ve had confirmation that we’re looking at GB2 Winston. Labcoat Egon, 12 inch figures with new clothing, and another yet to be announced figure. But does anybody know what order these are coming out in?
Thanks in advance,

Winston in June
Egon in July
No date on the 12" 2 packs
(If my memory serves me correctly.)
I thought it was every other month for the 6" figs. I thought Winston got pushed back to July and labcoat Egon was coming out in May.
Oh Right. I was expecting a figure sooner than may thats all.
Thanks for the heads up guys.

Josh is right, there is no Ghostbusters figure in May. For whatever reason, they are skipping May and apparently releasing figures in June and July. Here is a quote from the80sdrummer, a Matty Moderator over on the mattycollector.com forums:
"We were never guaranteed one Ghostbuster figure every other month. Were were guaranteed 6 figures in 2011. Here is the quote from the Club Ecto-1 sign-up page…
“•About every other month in 2011 (starting in January), you’re automatically shipped the Club Ecto-1 6” Figure. The figure for January is Winston with Slime Blower and Courtroom Peter arrives in March.”
Trust me, I know it’s no fun skipping two months but we were never told that it would every other month like clockwork. Besides, I remember this discussion being held last year when the club subs went on sale. This argument was put to rest by either Toyguru or an admin by telling us that the every-other-month figure wasn’t accurate."
So, as far as I know there is no firm release for anything other than a figure in June and one in July. Who knows from there if something else might be pushed back… 
Does anyone know if Mattel is going to release the slime blower Ray Stantz with the gloved forearms?
I hope that they are, as much I like the 6 inch action figures so far I feel like at times Mattel does not put much effort into them like they do with the 12 inch figures.
I don’t know that they’ve come out and specified, but I think it’s probably safe to assume that Slimeblower Ray will be simply Slimeblower Winston with Ray’s head…
I saw one one of the many sites dedicated to toys, suggesting that a Slime Blower Ray would be coming out in Septemberish.
Remember, they said this year would be 4 ghostbusters and 2 non-ghostbusters.
So far we have had in 2011: (Not Counting Marshmellow Mess Ray)
Courtroom Peter
Slimeblower Winston
and we know that there is a Ready To Believe You Egon coming out in August(ish).
That leaves 1 ghostbuster and 1 non ghostbuster for the fall. Mattycollector will be announcing the last 2 figures at SDCC in a few weeks, so not to much longer to wait.
As far as my guess goes, I have a feeling they will wait to release a Slimeblower Ray till 2012. (Something similar to the Ready To Believe You Series)
In 2012, I think we will see him, and another Ghostbuster from the GB II Courtroom Scene. (To space out the different “series”.) And maybe we will see a new “series” of the Ghostbusters in their ripping up the street outfits.
Has anyone seen a complete list of what is going to be included in the Winston/Peter 2 pack yet?
I don’t think so, but they have said that the following will be included: KUD meter, Sony Radio, Hard Hat, and Toaster… And if I’m not mistaken, I think they are supposed to come with an additional uniform. (I assume one khaki and one grey)
The uniforms and packs are what I’m really wondering about. We know Winston comes with a slime blower, but are they including a pack for peter, and also a regular pack for winston? I guess we’ll learn more at SDCC, since the set has been delayed. The 12" line is really being forgotten this year till this set comes out.
Pretty sure it won’t be as elaborate as everyone is hoping.
The 2 figures come with 2 uniforms, total. The nametags are interchangeable, so if you want Venkman wearing the blue uniform, you switch the uniforms, and then switch the nametags.
And I’m sure they won’t include an extra proton pack. There will be one slimeblower and one proton pack in the set. Including more would result in a higher price. They’re not going to give you THAT many extra accessories while still keeping each figure at its original $60 price point.
Pretty sure they are planning on including 4 uniforms.
Also, the price was said to be $120.
Also, there are no tooling costs for the proton packs now.. so the cost is just materials, electronics, and paint. They also don’t have a tooling cost for Venkman’s head either.
I think I recall hearing they were also including 12" scale thrower particle beams as well starting in the two packs.
GREAT SUCCESS!
Really looking forward to the next 12’’ figures, probably more so than the “mystery prop”
I remember them mentioning proton streams as well now that I think of it…
