New Ghostbusters Figures

[holtrax]

Buddy that is off the hook!
Why cant Mattel do that?

On a side note they should use that looped busters tune you used
on the Camp Gitmo detanies.

lmao I remember reading they used the enter sandman track and they were saying that it was 'the tune of the devil'

oh yeah, something i havent seen yet on here, put egon next to his ride, ecto 1 from the "extreme ghosbusters" show. still have it all these years later, my mom got it for me when i was a kid. and it still works! lights sounds and all, never had to replace the battieries since 1997. may be slightly out of scale, but it still is big enough to display with the new 6" figs.

Yeah I saw someone else mention that a while ago. It was still several days after the figure was released so it was a pretty cool bonus. It's always pretty spectac when you hear something new about something you've had for a little while.

In response to those on the fence about whether to get SPENSER's RAY sculpt, or VARTAL's...I've been a bit back & forth myself. After seeing the shots posted of Vartal's unpainted and painted head with the Mattel gear, I thought it was a really good Dan sculpt...maybe a bit closer than Spensers? Of course something still seemed a bit off to me. It looks great with the goggles on the forehead, but not as good without IMO. The face seems a bit puffier and the hair not high enough. Seems a little more 'CONEHEADS' era Dan to me. Vartal saying he used GB II as his study for the sculpting reference seems a bit more accurate to me, although I personally feel that Spenser nailed the 'high-hair' and 'arched-eyebrows' that really make it "Ray Stantz" to me. We also have to remember that GB era Dan is closer to the 'trimmer' Dan of 'Trading Places'. Ultimately though...it's in the eye of the beholder, and they're both pretty good! Compare...

yeah i totaly agree about vartals head with and without the goggles comment. it does look really good with them on his forehead, but once their off, it doesnt look right, again the forehead/hair is prob the issue.

both are good tho, but i think my choice in terms of detail and for the hair would be spensers. i think if spensers head is painted up really well it will look great in the outfit etc

i have to say i have no complaints with vartels sculpt. more hair would be nice in an ideal world but ray is definately there. his other 3 heads are impressive too, im in the process of painting them up while i wait for egon

 

[teabelly83]

yeah i do like it, but i think the hair/forehead is slightly off, but as said it looks more like gb2 ray.

cnt wait to see pics of them painted up mate!!

[CAZAFANTASMA]

Wow, got my Vartal Ray head today!!!!!!!!!! and still no sing of Ray 12 inch and 6 inch! Dawn you Mattel!!!!!!!!!!:emperor

Vartal's head looks even better in person!!!!!!!

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

So what color do you think i should paint Ray's hair? Is it black... or dark brown???? Can't really tell.... Please I need your 2 cents on this one.

[teabelly83]

id say brown from what i can tell mate

 

[Mudshark]

Dark brown hair with lighter brown highlights would probably yield the best results for Ray. Watching the movie again should provide plenty of reference for painting him up nicely.

Hey ChalkyYT, i forgot to ask, what did you use to fill Ray out, and how in the name of J.C. did you managed to paint his eyes... they are sooo small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the only way is to use a sharpie or something that thin.

I know you didn't ask me, but I padded him up with tissue paper. It's not completely to my liking but I'll futz with it more.

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

THANKS Jacktheriper. Yours looks great. What happened to the yellow hose? did you cut it or is it that short?
