Good thing complaining/critiquing toys isn't a bannable offense, then.

I think the only thing to complain about any of the new gb merchandise is maybe the lack of availabilty. Like how hard it is to find a hotwheels ecto and hard to track down some of the minimates. As far as everything else goes, as long as ghostbusters merchandise (even if it's not completely accurate) is being produced I'm not complaining one bit. If you have a complaint then call up the companies customer service.

The ghostbusters stuff they had there was pretty insane. Pics at link below.

The way Mattel dished stuff out was bullshit though, pure bullshit.

bullshit how?

I'd hazard a guess that means they've been lying on a lot of fronts…

I really want to like this RGB series, but the more I see them, the more I hate them. I was considering it now we've been told were going to get other characters and ghosts, but it just can't justify spending the money on such ropey toys.
Technically speaking, the figures themselves look pretty decent, the headsculpts aren't bad and all, but the terrbile outfits with the huge elbowpads, dracula collars and baggy legs are awful. They're clearly not going to resculpt the nutrona wand to the correct RGB design. Can't say I'm impressed with the imitation Peter voice either. A role-play-toy PKE meter for Egon?!

Getting these to the UK would be a real pain, and they sadly just aren't worth it. Too cheap looking and inaccurate for my liking.

Same here. I love RGB stuff but these figures look kinda sloppy made.

In order to buy anything from Mattel, not just gb stuff, you had to be attending comic con for more than 1 day. You went to the mattel toy store, got a ticket for a time to come back, but that time to come back was for the NEXT day.

This is what happened on Friday… apparently on Thursday, some people walked up and got through the line, but I was pretty upset as the first thing I did was walk to the Mattel toy store just to be told there was no way I was getting into that line unless I came back on Saturday or convinced someone to give me their Friday ticket.

Lucky… I wish I had two! Then again, I think we're both lucky, as most people wish they just had 1.

Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Is this a euphomism? Get to your doctor quickly

At the very least I am going to purchase the Citizen Ghost tan Peter.
This episode has long been a favorite of mine, and even if the proton pack design not correct, and the voice is not a perfect match to Lorenzo Music, I still like the way this figure looks.

I agree that the other RGB figures, are lacking when compared to the Kenner figures from 1986, but I am willing to give them a chance. I like that Mattel has included more detail to the ghost trap that comes with Ray, and I am thrilled that he also has the ghost sniffer from “Big Trouble with Little Slimer” . Also it is nice to see the figures sporting two elbow pads in stead of one.
