i want these too… but FK! Too close to xmas, n i already shelled out alotta cash on my presents for others… and i just bought all the 12 in figs during their last sale… cant afford it right now =\
As much as it pains me to wait, that last Sale really stuck the knife in for me, particularly after I paid both years subs and paid full whack for everything, and in the case of the first few figures over the odds for !
Matty don’t even appear to be trying to stir interest in the line at present, no big fanfare on product launches like there used to be.
They’ll will probably start reducing them in January after the holidays
I ordered both 2 packs and Vigo. It sure did suck they randomly decided to put both out in Dec. Thankfully I just put it all on my newly obtained Credit Card, paid $150 on it and pay the remaining balance in 2 weeks. Now I’m just waiting untill a sale happens next year so I can get both packs again to have complete matching suits.
I also want to get the gb 2 12 inch figures. However I am want them all to be wearing their gray suits. I think having 2 in gray and to in tan on display will look dumb bc in the 2nd movie they never split their uniforms. The 4 of them were either all gray or all tan. Also $240 is alot of money this close to Christmas!! I hope they come down in price.
What do you guys think about the 2 tan suits and 2 gray suits?
Thanks!
Well, over here in Australia, I just shelled out $333 for the 2-12" twin packs.
I wanted them the minute I saw them. So at the end of the day, its the price I had to pay. Later on down the track I hope to get the full set again, but that will be when they go on sale. I guess I’m lucky my birthday is in January, so I guess that’s part of my gift done. ![]()
During the montage, when they’re sliding down the poles, Egon and Venkman are in grey, while Winston is in khaki.
Got my Vigo on Christmas Eve. Anyone else a little disappointed that with the joints the way they are, you can’t really get his arms into the position of the painting?
Im still waiting on mine. Hopefully today. Anyone else still yet to receive them?
Has anyone gotten the Ghostbusters 2 12 inch guys yet? If so what do you guys think? I am on the fence.
Thanks!
I got the 12" 2 packs just before Christmas, super face shipping this time. I was surprised to see them arrive so fast, it usually takes 2 weeks not 4 days.
The new Ray head is a pretty good improvement, but I’ve always been okay with the first 12" head. I only really hated the 6" Ray head. Egon is also an improvement, has more of a skin color and isn’t yellow anymore. Peter is a pretty big disappointment, it’s the same head as the first 12" Peter but they really buggered it up with the paint job, mine doesn’t look good at all, looks so doll like. Winston is a new head and I have no problem with it, looks good. Peter is the worst out of the bunch, at least in my set. I would have opened these up if they all had grey suits, I wish they would have gave Peter and Egon the dark grey suits and let Ray and Wisnton have the SB, that way all 4 would look different in some way at least, oh well.
Was it worth $260? No.
I got mine today. I’m really indifferent as far as the head sculpts, but I like the gray outfits and slime blowers. I’m keeping these in the boxes as I really like the layout they used when you put them side-by-side.
I got mine today…I dig both sets quite a bit. Winston looks awesome I think. It is really stupid that we don’t get all charcoal suits but what can you do? I guess hindsight 50-50 is that they hardly wore them in the movie to begin with.
I got mine today also. The box was beat to shit though.
my Vigo came today, they effed up the paintjob. instead of blending the brown under/around his eyes, its one solid color brown and then one solid tan for his skin. Ive always disliked the way they did his head/face, this puts it over the edge. I hate it. I would pay someone $20 more just to sculpt a custom head for me to replace Matty’s. the body is fine, they did a great job of sculpting the armor and all the little details. I HATE THE HEAD. the bad paint app. the bad sculpt. it looks nothing like the actor, it doesnt even look like the painting. I’m considering selling it on ebay to be honest.
I agree that Vigo could be much better, but what bugs me is there should have been at least one more pack in. The painting is great (maybe better than the figure overall), but it’s so thin and there was plenty of room to put in more extras. Maybe a possessed head or some mood slime or even baby Oscar in the Winnie the Pooh onesie.
To me the sculpt and painting isn’t any worse than some of the offenses we’ve already seen with other 6 inch figures. Ray’s weird head, Egon’s goofy big glasses, MM Ray’s white out, the list goes on. It’s not spot on, but I don’t expect that at this point with this line, sad to say.
Received mine in the mail a couple of days ago, and quite honestly I dont even want to remove them from their mailers. I’m so done with matty and cant wait until this GB line is finished. I’m grateful, but I’m done.
I actually have kind of a funny story about receiving mine. I was on the way home from work. I was listening to my favorite radio station. For whatever reason, I was thinking about the new Ghostbusters monthly comic at the time. Then, my station goes on commercial. So, I flip to one of the other stations on my presets that I listen to sometimes. The Ghostbusters theme song had literally JUST started playing. It was like fate! LOL!
Then, I get home and wonder if my Vigo arrived yet, but I see nothing at my door. Then, I open my door, and what is waiting for me between the screen door and main door? Vigo!
Anyway, I can agree with some of the criticisms of this likeness. But, to me, I’ve just been waiting basically my whole life to have a Vigo action figure to begin with, so I am just glad to have anything. I mean, it definitely could have been better, but I don’t think it is all THAT bad.
The 12" GB2 figures are now listed as sold out, I’ve been checking daily & they never showed as Almost Gone.
I got my Vigo this morning i’m very happy with it.i love how he looks in the box.i wish he came with a demon head to,i’m sick of fans saying (i wish he came with a possessed head
it’s his demon head AKA his demon form :angryvigo:… :sigh:
I got my 12 inch 2 pack in the mail this afternoon. Is anyone looking to trade their Charcoal/grey for khaki let me know. I’d like to have the ghostbusters all in one color. PM me if you would like to trade. I live in Southern Arizona.
Thanks!
