LOADS of New Info on Mattel's ‘Ghostbusters’ Action Figures!
Thursday, April 9, 2009
By: MrDisgusting
-You won't be able to find these in stores because the shelf space is reserved for “new” and “popular” toys
-At the time of the interview, they have the likeness rights to Harold Ramis (Dr. Egon Spengler), Dan Aykoryd (Dr. Raymond Stantz), Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddmore) and are still trying to get Bill Murray to approve his sculpt of (Dr. Peter Venkman) – sounds like Murray is going to hold-up fans once again.
-They would like to expand the series and do figures of Louis Tully (Rick Moranis), Dana (Sigourney Weaver) and even Walter Peck (William Atherton)!
-They hope the first release will be Peter Venkman, but plan on unrolling the figures as likeness' were approved.
-Each 6-inch figure comes packed with a ghost. Slimer will 100% be the first with plans on bringing us a possible shrunken Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ghost, the librarian ghost and the taxi ghost.
-They'd like Peter Venkman to come as the slimed version, with Slimer, first.
-The reason the 6-inch figures look better than the 12 (in my opinion) is because the 6-inch were sculpted by the famous Four Horsemen, while Mattel did the 12-inch sculpts (boo).
-The plan is to get the first 6-inch out by the San Diego Comic Con, with the first 12-inch by Father's Day. A new 6-inch will follow every other month, while a new 12-inch comes every quarter.
-There will be variants (who has this type of money, crap), including “slimed”, “marshmallow mess”, and “red slime” (from Ghostbusters II).
-They have pretty much free reign on the animated series The Real Ghostbusters.
-If a third movie is made, they will make figures based on that, which will probably make retailers.

I totally agree with the comment above, I think I will try and get 2 of each as well, 1 set to display and another to keep in the original packaging as a collectors item.
I sure hope somone posts a link on this thread when they become available as I would really hate to miss out.
I hope the shipping to the UK will not be too much, might be the same as the item I'm buying, lol.
