Did they make more than one? I've got one and I don't think he's nearly that tall.

Oops you are right. It is closer to 8" I was looking at the box promo pics and it mentioned 11" but that is the actual box itself not the figure inside.
 
I have the NECA Stay Puft. Not that it really matches the RGB aesthetic though.

I'm not surprised they kept the price the same. They're already too high for a lot of folks, but I wouldn't be surprised if the free shipping is gone like it has been with the sixth scale stuff.

Turns out that the blog entry for the announcement specifies that shipping is still free. Just read it.

My hope regarding Stay Puft is they do a soft vinyl big boy of him. I don't need (or want) a super articulated Stay Puft and vinyl would probably present well. I know typically vinyl figures don't have swap-able parts, but if he could have an option head with an angry face that would be cool, though my preference would be to make him a happy boy. They could pack in a part for the traps which would be pretty cool.

Aside from that, my wants for this line are pretty basic. I don't even care about Janine. Peter, Egon, Winston, Ray, Samhain and Stay Puft would make for a pretty awesome display all on their own.
 
Yeah, I imagine Mondo might do something like their Ahh Real Monsters! set. I'd be totally okay with minimal articulation, but I'm afraid Mondo will still be well over $200 for him. What I really want is just a Halloween Adventures decoration for sub $50. Kids toy grade.

I think I'm going to go with the 12inch Diamond Select bank. Looks like he goes for ~$35 on eBay, and there are a lot of sub-$20 KO's on Ali. Though I may wait and see until I have all 4 busters, in case Hasbro or Mondo do put out something that looks worth the $. They made an angry version, too, but I think that was an SDCC exclusive.

Apparently they also did a 24inch version of the bank which would be perfect. But he originally retailed for $125 !

Frick, I wanted that, but could never afford it.

I wanted to use him with my Minimates! That's as close to "in scale" with any toyline (save Lego) I can think of...
 
I got hit with an $11 surcharge which I assume is the same for everyone making Winston $112. That is definitely rich. I keep telling myself "A complete set is just four figures," to make it sting less. Also, it says shipping February 2026 so I guess best case scenario is we have a full team display by Halloween 2026. Hopefully, Ray goes up next quarter to lock that in with a bit of a buffer in case of delays.
 
Its $19 for the two pack. Have they said anything about refunds if the tariffs get canceled?
 
Not that I've seen. Mondo is doing a Toy Talk tomorrow night on YouTube at 8 EST, might be a question worth asking during it though I doubt they'll answer it.
 
So earlier today at work, I was gonna order Winston, but I didn't have all my passwords to hand. It showed a $19 tariff surcharge in my cart. When I got home, I ordered him through my laptop. No surcharge showed up, the charge on my card is tariff-less so far. But then I added him to my cart again as a test, and the surcharge DOES appear. What gives? Glitch? They gonna come begging down the line?
 
That is odd. Same browser and all? Maybe you had the Tariff Blocker 3000 add-on installed on one and didn't realize it.
