Now that I've seen that there will be quality accessories and costuming with the upcoming Mattel 1:6 Ghostbusters figures I'm back into this... when the third run of Nick's amazing proton packs got cancelled leaving me packless I'd written off being able to do these, but it looks like the Mattel figures will really only need new base bodies, boots and HEADSCULPTS to be incredible.

I any case, I think the demand for Chris's heads is going to increase as the amount of work to bash the boys together just potentially decreased a great deal....

That's exactly what I'm thinking too! :rock
 
yeah i agree, providing the jumpsuits etc are good enough when they come out, theres not guna be as much to change as u wud if uwas building frm scratch. altho istill like the ideaof custom built figs.


for these metal id def look at some new leather boots, and def a diff ray head going on what that preview shows.

I really do not care about that head. I would have changed it anyway. I mean Chris is making GB heads what do you want more? Forget about any GB head Mattel will produce. I really like the 4HM but as it comes to sculpting original actors likeness they cannot be compared to an experienced freak as Howes... This said do I get a head for free now? :angelsmil:lol

Seriously what do we want more? We will have cool heads, cool outfits, great nick-a-packs/original protonpacks, a great trap by nick and one by Mattel that doesnt look that great but opens... We have really almost everything we need. The only pieces missing are GBII outfits and weapons... :naughty

Yeah, if I'd managed to grab a set of Nick's packs I wouldn't be interested in these, but I didn't, so this seems to be the route to go. I'm suure I'll be replacing the bodies as well as the heads and boots, as well as weathering the jumpsuits (if they don't require replacing outright, the jumpsuit quality sems to be the big "if" thus far).

well howcome u missed nicks packs?? he can do them whenever from what he told me. i ordered 1 from him by sneding him a personal mail so i guess u would be able to get them from him still. im waiting for my trap and pack set from nick to come so cant wait for that.


and yeah we got a good choice to change t hings now if we need or want to with these 12" figures.

Wow! Well, that first pic does not look bad at all. The headsculpt does nothing for me, but the gear looks pretty good! I might get some of these just for parts in rounding out my figures.
 
Hey Shatner, can you put me down for a regular Venkman? Also, what photos will Chris be working from? Thanks!

Why so hectical... I have no problem with waiting another 6 weeks as long as I get a head as cool as House is which is from my point of view even better than the Howes' Joker... :)

What I am more interested in is how likely it is to get all heads until fall... MAny people are planning to switch the heads of the Mattel bodies so August might be a good date to get them even painted before Mattel starts the GB line... :joy

But on the other hand we have waited for this about 20 years... so a month more or less :lol

:sick Because sometimes info doesn't get cross posted through all the various Chris threads, Chris was sick as hell the last two weeks stopping all of the work he was doing. Now that he's getting better he still is recouperating, so he apologizes.
If he had the virus I recently got from my wife (hers is running a week and a half strong and shows no sighn of stopping), I soooo sympathize with his even more cause she just gave it to me, hence my absence too. Lets just say my new forum name should be "Reagan", and I don't mean after the President! :monkey4 :toilet_cl:Flush:dump

"Kiiiiiiilll Meeeeeeeeeeee. I want to Dieeeeeeeeeeeee. Put a bullet in my heeeee-eeeee-eeeee-eeee-aaaaadddddddd! Sorry, I was listening to the Cure alot when i wrote that!"

-Rick

ps- I'll add everyone who want to be added tonight. :)

In that case I would buy the Nick-a-packs, which is 1st cheaper and 2nd another cool looking pack which will give you set up less repetition... I will do so...
