Toys R Us if I'm not mistaken.

well, I went to TRU over the weekend, and they did not get any, and in fact couldn't find it in the computer. So my hunt continues. I did however use an Amazon gift card to order 1 of each at 19.99/figure with no tax and free shipping - though they don't have them in stock yet either.

And when they do come to TRU, I don't know if I would be surprised if they upped the price to 25.00. Now that the GBII 4-pack is off sale, they jacked it up to 65 instead of just 60.

They haven't been sent out to stores yet, I'm sure if they had someone would've posted about it.

The comic shop I go to is near a TRU. I thought about looking the last time I was in the area.

Then I remembered it was a Saturday in December and I was thinking about going to a toy store?!

I may try again Thursday.

Do the action figures of Peter and Winston come with any other the proton packs?

I know Egon has the PKE meter and Ray has both a ghost trap and the sniffer. I a little surprised that Ray does not have the Ecto Goggles coming with his figure.

I'm not sure if it's just too much extra stress to sculpt and create the accessory, but at this point Matty has dropped the ball when it comes to including this as a pack-in for any Stantz figure.

I mean the 12“ version had one, so will the 6” Marshmallow exclusive, but for some reason they're avoiding it.

Either way, every figure I've seen from this line has disappointed me. I was wanting to get them all when I first heard about them, but after seeing them and the fact that they're not even modeled after the cartoon (the proton packs especially) I am just going to avoid them unless I can get a really good deal on them.

My biggest concern is how none of them are really paying attention to the fact that these guys weren't the same height either. I mean Egon is supposed to be taller than the rest…I guess it's still a bone thrown to the RGB fans but I just can't bring myself to spend money on figures that just look that horrendous.

Maybe if they do a 6" line I might be interested, I remember it was mentioned in the beginning that they might eventually dip into it. We'll see if it happens I guess.

Absolutely did.

I don't have a store near me to buy them at, and with Winston only being packed 1 to a case, he'd be harder to chase down anyway.

Its pretty simple. I paid $21 per figure. I can sell the extras at that and break even, no different than buying them in the stores.

Doc Venkman, if you're after someone to buy any of the spares let me know, I'd be happy to take one of each

I really can't wait to get these figures now, it's just the retro appeal! I think a 6" line would have appealed more originally, but I've never owned any of these style mattel figures and it will be nice to have something different. The fact they're coming to the UK is a bonus to!

talk of the town says they will be lower than 20$

id really hope they were seeing i get a real 6' gb and a pack in for 20

a doll better not cost 20

So I'm just curious… I know that you bought the SDCC Citizen Ghost version… which was $20. That was a doll. What made you think that the first figure would be more expensive than the rest of the line?

Not fighting, I just figured it was obvious that these would be $20 each, since that's the cost when the line debuted.

i dont think your fighting at all. Seems like a valid point since I did buy the Citizen Ghost. But I did assume the major release would cost less and the exclusive which was VERY rare would sell for more seeing it was Comic Con. Same with the ecto it seemed. Since exclusive and not a major release they set the price high. And yes i thought it was pretty ghey to charge 20 dollars for a doll. The citizen ghost really hit home with me. Always been my favorite episode.

And i still cant get into the colored suits
