Ghostbusters General Thread

Mine was siting at a location where it could conceivably have left last night and gotten here today, but instead I guess it's gonna sit there until Monday. UPS gotta UPS.

I still haven't opened Peter. I've gotten real bad about actually opening stuff I get, largely because I'm dragging my feet hard on a necessary re-arranging of my displays.
 
My Egon/Boogs was just delivered.

I don't have time to open him right now, as I'm leaving to go be merry and fey in a cornfield, doing Fall festivities...but cracking this bad boy open as soon as we get back.
It is in the forum user agreement that you agreed to when registering (not our problem if you didn't read it!) that the first person to receive a new figure on the forum must postpone all festivities in order to provide pictures of the figure to the forums. Now I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding so just get those pictures in first and the mods never have to know about this little infraction.

It's a good thing I didn't tell anyone I got mine yesterday...
 
Lucky for you all of our mods are lame with no taste in figures so they don't even come into this thread so they will never know....

As long as you post the pics so I don't tell them!

My sincerest apologies, m'Lord. Shan't happen henceforth.

So, nits out of the way:

1) The packaging is ridiculous. So much empty space and wasted plastic for this.
2) The color on Egon's suit is far too vibrant. It was more of a robin's egg blue on the show. This is more of the promo art color, and even then, it's still too heavy handed.
3) I really wish they'd give us more ungloved hands. Just C grip when the hand is free makes it look like a toy and takes away some expression in the figure.
4) The articulation, like with Venkman's, is pretty much useless.
5) Boogeyman has weak ankles, and there's no way the weight of his head will support him.

The PROS:
1) Boogey and his massive head are pretty awesome. AND he comes with a base to help him stand, thank God.
2) Articulated jaw on both expressions for Boogs.
3) The sculpts, as always, are top notch, and while minor blemishes, the paint is great.
For those wondering, the head on Boogey is solid, the coif up top is a hollow plastic. Overall, the head is still heeeeeavy. You will not get him to stay standing on his own. Again, thank Jeebus for the base and flight stand arm.

 
I got mine today. Unfortunately, Egon’s proton wand was broken in the package and the PKE meter was missing its antenna. Hopefully these aren’t widespread problems.

Rick's Egon doesn't appear to have the PKE antennae on it either. I wonder if they just forgot to include them. Unfortunate to receive something like that. Mondo's really good about resolving this sort of stuff fortunately if you contact them and include pictures. If they just never made antennae for the PKE at all, I dunno what they'll do about that.
 
Fortunately if you're waiting on a replacement proton pack wand, at least Egon was the one who was always using his PKE primarily.
