New GHOSTBUSTERS Line

[foor]

Thanks for the advice Robzy. I've sent them an email describing the problem. I hope they end up doing something about it.

Hope it works out

I don't have a pic, but apparently the much rumoured upcoming 4-pack has been confirmed in the last few days.

I've heard that it's going to be a GB2 4-pack featuring the 4 Ghostbusters in their darker grey uniforms (from GB2) and wearing the Santa Hats (again, as seen in the film) which may be removable. I believe the set will also come with Slimer.

Again, I haven't seen pics yet, but maybe we'll see some images from SDCC next week...

This news concerns me a bit. The fact that they will be going with a 4 pack almost suggests that the line is on its last legs and they want to get all 4 characters out there as soon as possible before it ends.

I hope this isn't the case but I don't feel confident this line will still be here in a year

Good news indeed

[Robzy]

Yeah, very good news!! I may actually break my 'No-Sub' rule with this one (To quote Dr Venkman: "Actually it's more of a guideline than a rule!" )

Tbh, I was feeling pretty confident about this line, but now I'm definitely feeling much better! A figure every other month is pretty darn good for me.

[Robzy]

Looks like Matty is gonna be making some GB probs... starting with a PKE Meter.

Ohh... I hope we get a Proton Pack....

[Gutsman Heavy]

OMFG!!! Interest in line rekindled 1000%

[Robzy]

TNI has more pics of the upcoming figures, including the TRU GB2 exclusive 4-pack (Venkman has a new head) and the PKE Meter.

Also... We've already seen Peter, but now there are also pics of the other 3 Real Ghostbusters Mego figures available too.

And the very last pic is interesting... apart from the awesome temple display, the 4 Busters have actual "STREAMS" coming from their guns. I hope we get these so we can cross them (even though that would be "bad")

[loophole]

screw the toys i want the car!!

[Robzy]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I got my Retro Action Real Ghostbusters Peter Venkman from this year's SDCC. Pretty cool actually... much better in person than what I was expecting. And he speaks!!! I only wish they could've used Lorenzo Music's voice.

I'm actually surprised how cool he is... very different to what I'm used to collecting. But I like it! I'm looking forward to when the line proper is released.
