Matty Staypuft on sale 1 August

http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/en_US/pd/productID.234245500

Seems like no one is talking about this yet, so I’ll just get the ball rolling.

It seems like shipping prices will be an issue with this one; we got lucky that us guys across the pond might get a shot at getting it, but I wonder if S&H won’t be more than the staypuft itself. MH.

What do you think, guys?

At first I was kind of psyched for such a tall Stay Puft to be made, also liked the happy face sculpt he has. But little by little I’m kind of doubting if I’m going to get one because instead of being like the recently released solid plastic S.P. bank this one is going to be a squishy foam. Plastic kept out of the sun will not photodegrade and will last a lifetime. This squishy stuff… I have no clue what the longevity of it is. I keep thinking what’s going to happen in 10 years, will it be eroding away, will it stain and look off-white or just dirty. Might not be the case but it’s just a nagging doubt I have about him.

Stop being a girl and get one Meph. Put it on your GB shelf and be happy, otherwise I will mock you when I see you about how cool it is.

fingers crossed

After seeing a video review online, I have to pass. The foam scares me in terms of durability and keeping it clean.

gonna try for one Monday! already have the money on the card…just gotta hope it doesn’t sell out in 14 seconds…

If I had unlimited funds for toys I’d be in for one, but I’m saving up what I can for the trap and eventually a couple 6" figures next year. The rest of my toy money goes to my kid’s Transformers habit.

Definately will be purchasing one of these. I agree with most about the foam used. But I will just keep it boxed and unopened and stored away with the rest of my GB toys and just view other’s pics of it unpackaged. :wink:

i didn’t see anything on the website about this sale. I thought that they sold out at comic con?

He’s listed in Matty’s SDCC page http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/en_US/DisplayShopperDefinedBundlePage/OfferID.8827910609

First let me start off by saying thank you to Aj and Gb fans.com. It a cool item to have won.

Now with that being said. I 'm glad I won him because I don’t think I would have bought him. I got Stay puft Friday and all I can say is that he is huge(that what she said). I don’t think that we as fans are prepared for how Big Stay puft is. I got pics I took saturday below to give you a clue.

Sorry for the blurry pic, but I wanted to show the size.

I boxed everything up but was not aware on how Stay puft is like fragile. I laid the display pieces on his belly. This last pic I took today.

As you can see the line in his belly is from the display pieces that were laying on top of him. So if you do take Puft out of the packaging. Be aware of how you put him back.

Side Note. I have a sneaky feeling that a variant Stay Puft will surface and with the mean face.

nice pics,you lucky SOB!!

i agree,though…i can see them rereleasing him down the line in some sort of variation…for all the money spent on the tooling and such,i can’t see Mattel,being as cheap/thrift as they are,making only a one time use out of this…i’d imagine it’'ll have the angry head,and a simpler packaging without any of the display pieces or diorama…

Yup. I’d be concerned about durability most of all (my only real display space is near a window).

got Stay-Puft ordered!!!

me too. I hope it was worth, I paid a whopping 141,35 usd, a little less as I pay in €uro… via usp, and also did you notice it says it will ship on the 8th? Would have been nice to have known that before!!

And Mr Stay Puft has sold out.

my message said it’ll ship on the 9th!

unless i read it wrong…that’s possible…

I got the 8th as well. Some what perturbed by that. Whateva! I’m sure the wait will be worth it.

can someone scan the smaller pieces of the city diorama and take high-res (well lit, no flash) photos of the rest of it? I’d like to construct my own city background using these pieces, print them out on a laser jet printer and glue them to foamcore to make my own version of the city diorama

I’d also be willing to buy someones city diorama if they dont want it, I’d pay $10 + shipping.

Dang Joe. That the main reason I shot the extra pieces. Maybe If I scan them, they will come out better. Getting on that just give me a second.

Edit: Sorry Joe. Camera just died and the scanner is not big enough to scan the piece with the tabs included.
