Ghostbusters General Thread

I grabbed Samhain because I wanted at least one ghost and he was the most memorable for me. While I wouldn't go so far as to say I regret my purchase, it is pretty ridiculous to think I paid over 100 bucks for what is primarily a plastic statue with a couple of extra heads.
 
I had at one point, maybe 15 years ago, picked up a Mego style set of Sam Hain and maybe Janine? It also came with a cardboard facade of the firehouse. I have no idea what happened to it, maybe I donated it because it had no business being in my collection because at the time, good cartoon Ghostbusters didn't exist.

If I had to pick between the big ghosts that are available, I'd have gone with Boogey Man. Easily the creepiest, though the guy that comes with Ray grosses me out with those ghosts crawling into his stomach.. eugh
 
I grabbed a larger stuffed Stay Puff (that came holding a stuffed pumpkin, which I removed) a couple years ago, so I'll use that in the display when I finally have the opportunity to set up my display room in our new house.
 
I had that bank Stay Puft! The huge one, it did the job for a bit, but it always, always bothered me how the head was shaped wrong. Sold it with the rest of the Diamond stuff after a while. Was never 100% happy with it anyway.
 
Tuesday, but yes,I understand you only care about the four guys and the price is too high.

The price is better than I would have guessed. Too bad there's still a tariff charge. No mention of free shipping that I saw which would be another added bummer.
 
Ugh. I don't like how that figure is reawakening something in me.

What will the lesser version come with (or without)?
 
I wouldn't assume there will be one. The "lesser" option might be her in her Ghostbusters outfit.
 
If she doesn't come as an equivalent of the GBs without the big ghost, I'm probably out. She looks insanely good tho.

It was stated at some point last year that there would be a cheaper version without the desk. Plans may have changed, but that is what Mondo said at the time.
 
Crap. I thought Janine would be a pass, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing. I'm getting her.
 
If they do a standard it would probably omit the desk and the accessories that are desk specific. They'll probably do an episode of Toy Talk where they'll field questions the Thursday after her listing goes live. I would assume a standard version is dependent upon feedback and how well this performs. If the response is weak then it wouldn't shock me if they conclude that there isn't enough interest in a $100 Janine.
