News and Announcements Ghostbusters News

As Comic Con rumbles onward toward the weekend, more details and photographs have been released into the online community for the new Ghostbusters figure line from Mattel.

First up, toyark.com gets a big scoop with photos of all four 6-inch series Ghostbusters figures, as well as Walter Peck, Containment Unit Accessory and neat no-ghost logo figure seen here.

The line looks like it’s going to be awesome on the whole, I can’t wait to own that mini Containment Unit.

More photos can be seen on the site, but registration is neccesary

In addition, following a Panel by mattel, the following details have been confirmed for the figure release schedule:

Egon Spengler 6 Inch with Slimer (not slimed): August

Ray Stantz 6 Inch with no-ghost logo: October

Winston Zeddemore 6 Inch with Trap: December

Walter Peck 6 Inch with Containment Unit: March

Peter Venkman 6 Inch*: May

Ray Stantz 12 Inch: September

Egon Spengler 12 Inch: November

Peter Venkman 12 Inch: April

Winston Zeddemore 12 Inch: July

CORRECTION

Apparently the Egon Spengler figure due out in August is the slimed varient. No word yet as to when the unslimed version will be released.

According to Toy News International, Mattel is also considering a Ecto-1 product, but this is subject to cost effectiveness, as well as a large scale Stay Puft figure. There is also the possibility of future releases of figures in different scales (presumably in addition to the 6 and 12 Inch lines) for the possibility of playsets in the future - this is subject to whether there is a new movie. They are also working on a “redo” of the Real Ghostbusters series by Kenner (we knew they were going to be doing something RGB related, but weren’t aware it was possibly going to remake the Kenner toy line).

  • Final model will feature gloves and untucked jumpsuit legs.

Additional thanks to ProtonCharging.

I don’t understand why Egon’s wand looks like a flaccid member.

3

Presumably damaged in being removed from the box/posed.

Where will these be available? Any idea on cost?

5

For now, exclusively through Mattycollector’s site… although they have said if there’s sufficient interest… possibly if a third movie came out, the figures could be eventually released in stores.

I think the 6 Inch figures retail for around $20, and the 12 Inch ones for $50, but I’m not totally sure on those estimates.

I dont know if im the only one but the space inbetween each figure coming out is pretty ridiculous for a toyline but still looking forward to whatever actually gets released nonetheless. Honestly, it really looks like they are testing volume sales to see if they want to keep mass producing the figures. So hopefully high sales well motivate them to get the figures out faster, only time will tell.

Can’t wait for the 12" figures and the RGB redo 0_0

They should make an accessory pack that comes with goggles, pke, trap, etc.

I like the expression on Venkman but again the likeness and sculpt seems soft. You can tell it’s Bill Murray but it’s not all that realistic. I suppose they went with some slight stylization on these. I really wish Ray had a different torso after seeing Peter, but I am glad that they will be giving Venkman gloves and untucked pant legs. I just hope that really happens. It is rather neat that they are producing a containment unit accessory though.

In some of the pictures you can see that the signs say the 6" will be $20 and come out every other month, and the 12" figures are $60 and come out every quarter.

10

Well, I wouldn’t really call them toys in the traditional sense. They’re collectibles, really.

11

weird… Venkman and Zeddemore look PERFECT to me

but Egon’s glasses and everything about Ray just sucks!

12

Containment unit is badass.

13

Shit,now I have figure out where I’m gonna get the money from to buy all of the figures,including Peck,I needs that Containment Unit.

14

There’s something creepy about the 12 inch Egon and Stantz figs… And the 6 inch Stantz looks like Ecto-1 backed over his face.

15

So if i’m right, the Slimed Egon is a Comic Con exclusive and the one available on

Matty Collector is non slimed, but with Slimer included?

16

I sooo can’t wait to get these!

17

Not a big fan of the slimed version of the characters. I was gonna pick up Winston and Ray until I heard that Peter is gonna have gloved-hands in the final product. I’m gonna wait until Mattel puts out unslimed /gloved versions of the guys before I buy any of them.

Its kinda odd that they are going backwards with this though. Usually variations of the characters come after the neutral versions. :whatever:

18

I know the question was brought up before and I don’t remember it being answered. But will the 12’’ figures come with some sort of blast stream attachment? I don’t see anything resembling it in these photos.

19

Looks like I’ll be workign a little Overtime to get these!! My cupe at work is going to look awesome and the Containment unit is BADASS!!!

20

ditto, they haven’t ever put out a life like toy of the CU. Only that crappy one that came with the original RGB firehouse.
