I was watching some old episodes and they seem to got the likenesses right but I was wondering about Egon's hair and why it was blond. I never understood that as that was the color of his hair but I don't think Rays was right either but maybe it was just Me?

I think probably the best essays ever written on the subject (that I've seen anyway) were posted in this site's blog last year:

I watched this a couple of days ago so I thought i'll posted here to make a little comparison. this is a promo for the real gbs with the movie uniforms, and let me tell you if they had the movie uniforms would have been so nice.

I've always thought that the cartoon version of Peter looked more like Akroyd and the cartoon version of Ray looked more like Murray. I remember getting a little mixed up in the early times of the show. And metallico 33, thanks so much for posting that.

I've been trying to hold off watching that in the hopes that I might be able to afford THE BIG ONE, but I've been in a financial ice-age over the summer. When I get my job back in the Fall and Spring, though…watch out checkbook!

By the way, I just noticed that the equipment is exactly that which Kenner used for the action figures. Too bad the figures' limited poseability forced them to use guns which mounted to the whole arm, but oh well.
