I’m referring to the expensive $239 Lego Ecto, not the mini one. Yes, I’m aware that these figures don’t have anything to do with the Lego Ecto but it would nice to be able to display them with an Ecto vehicle without them being too tall in height. I don’t plan on buying another Ecto until Hasbro reveals if their new campaign is indeed an Ecto-1 project.
If the line does well then who knows, maybe Mondo will do an RGB Ecto. That would be costly…
Just seen Pics of sam hein and the boogyman. Is it considered extortion when they know I’ll pay anything?
If each buster gets a ghost, im guessing ray and Winston will get the grundle and sandman

Thoughts:
-
Excellent, I’m all in.
-
Due to them being 6” the body proportions & hip joints look slightly goofy, which makes them not quite as definitive as I’d hoped vs Diamond Select. If these are a success there’s a possibility we get larger scale versions down the line. Personally I’d rather they went larger and didn’t worry about scale with the ghosts… but I expect there are plans for an Ecto-1 for the 6” line.
-
Splitting the individual figures between Fall and 2025 makes me suspect they will be more than $150 at least for the collectors edition. Although my wallet is grateful for the breathing space.
-
I’m not super into Boogie man as a character, which is the downside of tying the GB with ghosts. But his hair sculpt is amazing & will buy it to support the line.
-
Price TBD but released in a few months. When are we likely to find this out?
-
Hoping we get Sandman with Ray and Night Game Umpire with Winston.
Well, they said the first set Peter & Samhain comes out this fall so we should find out soon enough within the next 1-2 months.
That could work. I was thinking Sandman with Winston and Winged Puma with Ray. Or maybe Gash or Wat with Ray. Trying to think who the fan favorite ones would be and/if they correlate to a certain GB.
Edit: Photos of the figures at the Mondo booth
Thinking on it Watt is probably the most high profile S1 ghost left along with Sandman.
So maybe Watt with Ray and Sandman with Winston…
They’re so pretty…
Packing Slimer with Venkman is a very nice touch.
I’m scared to death of the price tag, but oh do I want these…
My wallet is scared… but I must have these.
My ONE complaint is that thrower hook on the pack looks REALLY delicate.
Maybe wishful thinking…but looking at close up photos of the Ghost Trap and it looks like the central cartridge might actually be removable. Maybe the ghost trap effect doesn’t just sit on top but it a swap out cartridge?
Traps are going to be pretty small, maybe the doors open? I would bet they’d just give 2 traps one with the doors molded open.
I wonder if Hasbros 1/12 ecto would detour them from doing an RGB ecto
That’s what it looks like to me. You pull out the inner trap and swap in the one that’s sucking in a ghost. Hopefully one of the busters comes with an open trap with energy effect without any ghost inside. If 202 is the actual price, and the releases being half a year or so apart, I’m very tempted to grab the two packs. At least the first two shown since Sam and Boogey are my favorite spooks from the toon. If Winston comes with Sandman like I assume he will I may pass on the two pack and just go with him solo since while cool Sandman wasn’t one I feel I need. I think the only other spook I’d really want is Wat, the possessor T-Rex.
Sets are $202.
Timed release. Alternatively, the Ghostbusters will be sold as individual figures.
Hmmm in which case I may duck out of Boogeyman to keep the whole set affordable.
As a kid for some reason I never saw the Boogeyman episode here in the UK. It wasn’t until the Time Life set I became aware it was a fan favourite.
Great design on the figure, I just don’t have the same nostalgia for the character.
Yeah. I only really wanted to get Egon and Samhain myself, heh heh. The $202 is not a number I expected. I thought 100 but I was being naive I guess.
Im glad we are getting high quality figures, but the price is going to limit the line. Not going to get anything close to the neca turtles line up.
Part of me kind of wished Hasbro did some $20 RGB figures, something i wouldn’t mind buying for kids
The fright features re-release is still widely available.
These were always going to be premium collectors figures.
We also don’t know how much the figures will cost without the ghost.
I love the fact that Mondo’s sticking it to the scalpers. I can get behind the ghosts and RGB’s being available separately. A $100 for an action figure is still pricey but it’s more doable for those of us planning to save for it. I would imagine the price for a single figure without the Ghost would be cut in half. Wishful thinking though.
The only ghosts I’d really like would be the boogey man or Sam.
I assume the collectors edition won’t be available after the pre-order window, which in the case of Haslab has meant you can still buy to sell - however, Real Ghostbusters resale value is kinda inconsistent. Some stuff goes for loads, other stuff seems almost worthless.
Ideally I’d wanna buy 3 copies: one to open, one to store sealed and one to sell to make back some of the money. In reality I’ll be buying one.
I guess the price of a single ghostbuster will come in under $100.. EDIT: confirmed to be $101. That’s pretty steep oh well!
Was it mentioned how posable the figures are? I’d love to have Ray sitting on the Ecto like in the cartoon. They’d look great next to the Frozen Empire Ecto popcorn buckets as well. Which should be shipping out next month finally.
Think of it this way, if you can afford a grown-up Lego set (or anything Lego these days.) you can basically get the two pack, but that depends on your priorities. Lol. Most of the upcoming sets runt from $150 to $300. What’s up with the extra dollar on the figures? Seems kind odd it wouldn’t be $99.99.
