Start a pool, AJ. I’m putting five bucks on the GB logo stands.

I just hope that the last figure is something that fans have asked for like a Courtroom Ray or Egon. All [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) would need to do is reuse either the Courtroom Peter or [Walter Peck](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/walter-peck) action figures as a base and make the changes as needed.

well, if there is as much of a demand for it as the MM Ray figure, I will probably sell it on ebay cause I’m a money grubbing ■■■■■.

Why don’t you just repaint it and make an inaccurate custom like you did with your MM Ray? .. That was you that tried to make your MM Ray into a [Citizen Ghost](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/citizen-ghost) custom right? But you painted the marshmellow green to look like slime when it should of stayed white like marshmellow. Fail haha

I guess I annoy people and say stupid things. it’s a running theme on several website forums I visit.

Just call it like I see it.

I like the Mattey stuff and appreciate the fact that they made a pretty damn decent toy line to go with the movies.

Was anything close to the movies available when we were kids?

No.

So here’s my question to you.

Why do you think its ok to come out and bash the new stuff time and time again.

We get it you don’t like them..

Did you ever stop and wonder if maybe it’s $&@\* like this that is the reason they are done with GB

Or what about the halo effect… one person in a group dislikes something and then more people jump on the hate bandwagon and this leads to poor sales of said figure.

Then reps from Matty come to the site and see this.. what would your reaction be?

I guess some people can’t comprehend “You don’t know how good something is until its gone”

Take your gift and be happy.

If you don’t want it send it to me or anyone else that enjoys them.

WOW. sorry for not supporting the line enough. I have no reason to complain about anything. you know, I only bought 2 and sometimes even 3 of every figure they produced. I should have bought 10 of each. I personally accept the blame for the reason the GB line didnt sell well enough to continue into 2013.

what we need is a talented sculptor to take over where Matty left off - sculpt a Tony Scoleri, a Janine, a Gozer, etc and make unpainted casts, sell them at $20 a pop, I dont care if they arent articulated, I just want to finish my collection - I nominate spiff!
