A Diamond Select Release! Art Asylum Designs & Sculpts. Following up on the hit Ghostbusters Movie line, DST debuts a new line based on the hit ’80s cartoon series, The Real Ghostbusters! Based on the character designs from cartoon, this specialty market exclusive four-pack includes Egon Spengler in his uniform, Ray Stantz in uniform, Janine Melnitz in her office attire and, of course, Slimer! Each Minimate stands 2.5” tall with 14 points of articulation and a variety of removable and interchangeable parts and accessories and is packed on a blister card.
Look for these to be on shelves by April 2011 with a SRP of $17.99
Really? Imho the matty mego figures came with props that were more accurate to the kenner toys then the cartoon equipment. Like the pke meter, and the ghost sniffer. But people ate it up anyway.
Just when I thought I was done collecting Minimates, Diamond Select proved me wrong. I am deffinatly getting this and most of the others as well. Also I hope that Peter and Winston figures are not to far behind.
Small bit of info from DSTChruck on the RGB minimates in response to questions:
So… 1 - the streams will be the same (which is fine with me), and 2 - right now there are no plans for office attire/plain clothed versions of the GBs themselves (too bad).
A bit of a disappointment, but ah well. If you’re not hung up on being “screen accurate” you can just pop the heads off the RGB figures and put them on other Minimates in street clothes. Heck, they made a Lab Coat Egon and “World of the Psychic” Venkman for the movie line, right? Use those. :lol:
Ray doesn’t come with goggles, but egon does come with an RGB pke meter!
Slmer is actually clear green, and I have a feeling that over time the rubber straps on his pack are going to break.. they are too tight.
Slimer’s rgb pack even came with a trap pegged on the side! (Janine’s did not have the pack trap, but that two pack also came with a seperate trap/pedal like we saw in the movie figures.
Janinie’s glasses have a LOT of red slop on them. The rest of the guys looked perfect.
The 2 pack with Boogie MAY be shorted in cases.. ther ewere an even number of packages on the shelf, and only one with Boogieman. (And he is the best of the bunch, IMHO.
Blackie has very loo fitting hands and feet. careful so you don’t loose them. Sam looks great, but can literally only turn his head. They do have a clear orange body under his robe, and I might pull that out to make another clear orange ghost.
I think I really prefer these guys to the movie vesions, they are that good.
I really hated getting another color variant on the terror dog, but after taking him out, I think i like th new blu eversion better than all the older releases of them.
I read in other toy forums they hit TRU this past week, and our store did get them in last friday.
