Ghostbusters General Thread

I don’t know if this set is worth $100. I looked through those pics and the improvements are minimal. Seems like this set is for anyone who missed the original, but backed the hearse. I’m using Mezco One12 GBs with mine and they all fit really well. They’re even taller than the Hasbro quartet. If the price drops, maybe.

That's why I picked up the set. Didn't get them the first go round, and after seeing the comparison pics I am okay with that because I think the new versions are an improvement and slightly more media accurate. If I hadn't picked up the Haslab Ecto-mobile I wouldn't have bothered.

I don't bother with Mezco because I don't think they are worth the price in most cases. However I am not as picky a collector so that is why I am fine with ML in most cases over any of the imports (SHF, Mafex, etc.).

This set a Pulse exclusive?
 
I'll stick with the OGs on the Hasbro figures. There are nicer details on those new heads but the likenesses aren't much better, especially with the stern expressions. Man, I wish this line turned out better. I've got series one and the exclusive Tully, and wanted to see at least a wave for GB2 and maybe a new Rookie. Love that game.
 
Do we still know for sure that Hasbro is giving up the license? I need someone else to take another shot at movie GBs.
 
Yeah i think they are. I wish Neca, SH Figuarts or Mafex did movie Ghostbusters. We have never seen accurate likenesses and equipment in pretty much no GB figures except the Blitzway ones (which, btw, they were going to do 1/12 GBs, they showed them off years ago and never actually produced them).

Neca would do a great job with the suits and proton packs, and include everything they need, but maybe wouldn't pull off the likenesses (or maybe they would?). And of course they would be pretty stiff in articulation. SHF would certainly do some great poseable figures, probably with very accurate suits and proton packs, and maybe some great likenesses, or not. Just not a lot of paint. Mafex would go all out, I think, and make the best possible 1/12 GBs figures, at their ultra high price of course.

I really thought SHF would announce some back when the new movies came out, like they did with their Indiana Jones, but it never happened. So at this point, who knows? Maybe Inart or LPZZ grabs the license and knocks it out of the park with it. But they seem too concentrated on DC right now so I wouldn't count on it.
 
I could stomach Neca doing some. SHFiguarts "crotch" construction on a lot of its figures makes them look bad aesthetically in my opinion. Plus the overly short Cyclops from the Capcom-looking line didn't endear itself to me. I don't think I could see myself going InArt / LPZZ on these now that I have 3 different sets of Hasbro Busters, the Mattel ones and just finished paying for Ray to round out the Mondo animated ones. I'm not known for restraint on TMNT but Ghostbusters I have to draw the line with somewhere, and fortunately the Diamond Select animated Ghostbusters are too expensive for me to even consider going back looking for those.
