Exactly… look at the cuffs on Ray’s uniform that he is wearing. They’re identical to the regular color of the uniform.
Yes, I said it was darker than the tan it is supposed to be, but Ray did not continue wearing the movie uniform where the cuffs were the same color as the whole uniform.
I’ll just leave THIS here, lol:
the figure looks like it’s trying to mimic the way Ray looked more in the later seasons…
I love Retro Ray don’t get me wrong but the aforementioned suit color and more orange hair and a slight gut would have made him that much more awesome!
The colors are off, but depending on the fabric you can probably dye it.
The color of all four uniforms changed not just from episode to episode, but from scene to scene at times, the shading, the mix of colors make the colors seem different at times.
I broke down and bought Winston the other day. Not as bad as my first impressions once I opened him up. The trap also hooks onto the proton pack, but I’m not sure that it was intended, could be a happy coincidence. I’ll prob get the others eventually, but I’m certainly not rushing out to the store to get them…
PS: I read on here somewhere that Winston was short packed, but I’ve had a lot more trouble finding Egon. Anyone else find that to be true? Just curious…
Awesome about he trap hooking to the pack man!!!
Get some pic’s of that up!!! 
The trap is hollow on the bottom, and just happens to fit over the end of the Proton Pack to hook up to it, just like in the cartoon! It snaps into place! You just need a rubber band (or one of those clear bands that come with the movie figures to hold them in place) so you can hold down the cord and foot pedal to where they hook up in the cartoon and viola!
That does make the figure more fun!
I don’t know why they made these “doll” type toys instead of regular action figures. I can’t imagine they’d sell any better. Perhaps they are cheaper and easier to manufacture?
Yeah, they are cheaper. The biggest cost of toy production is creating the steel molds for production. In a 6" toyline every RGB would require unique tooling for the body. By doing mego style they can use the same body for each, as well as the same pattern for the jumpsuit.
That look’s awesome, thanks for the pic update
Be thankful they are doing Mego style to save money and not doing 3 3/4" figures like Hasbro does to save money on plastics.
Although that would be cool to do too…
I would actually really love 3 3/4 (approx 1/18) scale Ghostbusters toys. That’s the scale of almost everything else that I collect.
As for these retro style figures: I have passed on them, for now. The price tag turns my stomach, and the Mego style figures never, ever appealed to me. I buy the 12" Matty figures, and like Sideshow G.I.Joes, but those look more realistic.
I’m sure I’ll buy these eventually, though.
Saw a lone Winston at my local TRU…that’s it, no one else, just 1 Winston.
Not bad considering Winston is the one per case. I honestly do not expect TRU to get more than 1 or 2 cases unless they specifically order them (a long and annoying process so most don’t).
My boyfriend got me Peter when these little guys first came out. He sits on my desk, and I just love him. He’s so cute, and I like the slightly toony look he’s got. 
While I still love my Kenner RGB Action Figures from back in the day, these figures are pretty cool especially since I was born long after Mego had left the toy world behind. I have both a Peter Venkman( At one point I had both the Citizen Ghost version and the regular version but I deiced to give the regular one away but I kept the jumpsuit and Proton Pack from him and I swap it out with the ones from Citizen Ghost Peter) and the two pack with Janine and Sam Haine.
While Janine has a very accurate facial sculpt and jumpsuit(its based on the one she wears in Janine’s Genie) I am disappointed that she cannot hold the Nutrona Wand at all, yet she has no problem with holding the other accessories (She comes with a PKE Meter, Ghost Trap, and Ghost Detector in addition to a Proton Pack, a Slimer Mini Figure and a cardboard backdrop of the Firehouse). Still I must say it is pretty cool to see new RGB toys being made again. Also having the Firehouse backdrop makes for a great display piece.
The Sam Haine figure looks fantastic in person and really makes up for Kenner not making an action figure of him back in the 1980’s. At some point I would love to take some photographs of him with my Kenner RGB figures to show off the size of him when compared to them.
Janine’s cute. She reminds me of Jeanette from the Chipettes.
